[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NTA. [b]Weddings should be about celebrating your love with the people you care about. I don't understand why so many people exclude kids from that equation, but to each their own, I guess. [/b]You send your regrets, wish them well, and send a nice gift. Especially for a cousin (not a sibling), it's unreasonable of your DH's family to ask you to bend over backwards to make this work for your family and for his brother.[/quote] Sometimes it just doesn't work, either due to capacity, the type of venue, time of day, etc. I have a really big extended family and there are now more descendants of my cousins than actual first cousins. It was not quite as many when I got married but I completely understand when my cousins who married later opted for no-kid weddings. They hardly know my kids to begin with since we're all spread out. I attended myself and DH stayed home with the kids, it was fine.[/quote]
