[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were invited to my wife’s cousin wedding in Michigan. Our 2yo was not. The hotel was a 20 min drive from the Wedding venue. They offered to find a sitter to stay at hotel with DD but we said no. None of us went to the Wedding. I think they have a right to say no kids, but parents have the right to decline also and it shouldn’t upset the bride/groom. [/quote]

I agree with this entirely, and something tells me this bride and groom are not going to be upset if OP declines.  [/quote]

Some people care.  No one from our side of the family (other than my parents) went to my sister’s child-free wedding five years ago, and she is still salty about it.  
It wasn’t a protest or anything.  The logistics were just too difficult.  It was a thousand miles away, and it was hard to find childcare to go.  
Then, when our cousins weren’t going, our aunts and uncles started dropping out of going, and our grandparents and great-aunts/uncles didn’t want to fly out in their own, so no one ended up going.  We did have a separate family party that night and Skype in to the wedding, so we did make an effort, but she was still mad.  [/quote]

Omg. Please tell me this is a joke. NO ONE in your family attended your sister’s (!!!) wedding, and then instead you all got together and had a party without her and Skyped into the wedding to show her??? I just...wow. “The logistics were too difficult.” For everyone.  :roll:  I feel sorry for your sister, first that she dealt with all this in the first place, and second for the fact that you’re butthurt she wasn’t happy about it. [/quote]

This is dysfunctional as hell. I’m sure your sister felt like the family outcast. My mother does not base her decision to attend someone’s wedding on whether I go or not, or vice versa.

And then you all got together, had a family party during your sister’s wedding, and Skyped in to show her...what, exactly?[/quote]

This is the side of the family that will “not understand” why sister spends Christmases with her husbands family (the ones who attended the wedding)[/quote]

NP. My brother didn’t attend my wedding, and even though it’s been 7 years and he has apologized and I do see him and it seems like we are cool, it’s something I’m not sure I’ll ever truly be able to let go of. It wasn’t just him, most of my family boycotted my wedding and I’m not sure things can ever be the same after that.[/quote]
