[quote=Anonymous]I think I get it.  I posted on here once with a rant about soon to be sister-in-law that I knew was almost irrational.  There was one person that responded that realized what I didn't even understand was behind my venting.  For me, it was hurt and coming to the realization that we weren't going to be close like I was secretly hoping.  I don't come from a big family and we moved away from our family so I've always wanted my kids to have that Aunt and Uncle that they are close to and cousins that they grow up with. I wanted to have that tight knit extended family and at some point realized that will never be.  There are things I can try to control, like my job choices, not changing houses looking for something better, who I agree to marry ...and there are things completely outside of my control.

I could be completely wrong but having postponed the wedding and the health issues of your parents have probably sharpened the focus and significance of the wedding location in a way it may not have if the wedding had happened earlier.  I remember the stress of the wedding.  At the end of the day, it brought my husband and I closer together, and there are certain things we can now joke about and have made it to the wedding memories.

Many of the friends at our wedding have gotten married, moved away, and have kids and we barely see them now, but for my family (even with the drama) the wedding was their chance to see each other.  It brought me closer to some relatives including an Aunt that had been like a second mom to my mother ...but not a part of my life growing up.    So at the end of the day, forget about the motivations of your Soon to be DH's  friends, think about the real reason why you are upset.  Remember your family will be there for the wedding as will your best friends.  Your bachelor and bachelorette parties will be your time with your friends and we know at least your bachelorette party won't be copied :)
