[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why'd you say yes if your cousin is so distant -- and it's 12 hours away and is a no-kid wedding?

If you do bail, at the least send $$$ to your cousin to cover your plate and $$$ to your mom should she incur any charges for changing HER plans. This on top of whatever gift you were going to be giving ...

Also consider whether bailing at this stage would impact relationships with family members you DO care about (presumably your mother at the least).

When you accepted, I suspect you knew about the various events you claim are impediments to going. [/quote]

No, I did not. I absolutely did not. I RSVP'ed months ago - and just got the test date last week and I can't change it.

It isn't a "distant" cousin - just one that I haven't seen for a long time. Other cousins and relatives who I also want to see will be there, but of course no kids. I've known about the no-kid thing from the get go.

Of course I would send money to my cousin to cover my plate and a gift. No question. I'm not that dumb. My mom was already planning to come here (to see grandkids) and would have to fly back at some point anyway.[/quote]
