[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How close are you to your cousin?  I can't imagine missing a family members wedding for a friend even my best friend.  Now if my bestie was really far along in planning and I had already RSVP and agreed to be in the wedding I would attend the wedding but would try my hardest to make my family members reception.

It's funny you say this because I actually came on here to say the exact opposite to me it's a no brainer to choose your very close BFF who most likely has been by your side through everything because you choose that person to bond with than a distant family member you most likely just see on occasion. Chosen family comes first.[/quote]

A lot of families are dysfunctional.  I just don't happen to have one.  Cousins are just as close to me as siblings. I have over a dozen 1st cousins who I've spent every Christmas, birthday, holiday with since I was as born and I'm on my 30s.  I also have best friends that I also am very family like with but I was raised to believe family comes first.  Now if it were some distant cousin I doubt the op would be asking the question.[/quote]

NP. But the OP made it clear in her OP that she was a lot closer to her BFF than her cousin. In her case clearly her cousin isn't like a sibling to her. Your case is the exception to the rule I feel. Most people are a lot closer and involved in the lives of their BFF more than cousins[/quote]

Not to mention she has been friends with this girl since 2nd grade so the PPs point about the cousin has been around for every occasion it seems like the BFF has too if she has been around since 2nd grade.[/quote]
