[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If weddings were one-evening affairs you’d have a lot less heartburn over kids. Plenty of people are willing to leave their kids for an evening but not a weekend.

My aunt shamed us HARD about my cousins wedding (called my mother who was undergoing chemo, called my in laws to ask if they would watch my kid…) we ultimately hired a nanny to travel with us and entertain our kid and her cousins but there was certainly no gracious acceptance of a declined invitation in my case. I think bad behavior is equally distributed across brides/grooms and their guests. [/quote]

Why would your aunt have your in-laws number? The problem seems to be dysfunctional families, not wedding etiquette. [/quote]

Because they had attended a number of events together over the 15 years I’ve been married?

The issue isn’t dysfunction, it’s unrealistic expectations of what a wedding is/means/requires. Weddings being a three day affair is simply not the same ask as the service at 4:30, dinner and dancing at 6:30 weddings my parents loved not taking us to as kids.[/quote]
