[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here.  For those of us who have beefs with big second weddings, it isn't about expecting the couple to feel some sort of shame for their first union(s) not working out.

It's about the imposition on the guests.

It's not right to throw some[b][b] big bash of a second wedding after having a big bash of a first wedding[/b].  The first wedding entailed [/b]collecting engagement gifts, collecting shower gifts, collecting wedding gifts and checks, and sometimes bachelorette party gifts.  Close family often have to purchase of bridesmaids dresses, rent tuxes, and fly their family to whatever state the wedding is in, all at considerable expense.  Most people stretch to do this for a good friend the first time around.  To ask everyone to line up and do the whole drill a second time around with the same level of enthusiasm is a little bit much.

OP, I'd come up with a reason to not be in the wedding.  Politely decline.  Unless you take cash gifts from your husband's parents, I don't see why you're so freaked out about upsetting the apple cart.
