[quote=Anonymous]OP here. It's not that kind of wedding (or that kind of family) at all. But agreed as to moving on and not taking it with me. Beyond that initial couple days of surprise, there's nothing to be gained from staying anywhere on the spectrum of momentarily slightly perturbed all the way to permanent outrage. It's not my decision and it's not the end of the world. I just think, knowing my family, and how intimate this is that we want these two kids there, since they are (to me) central people to this little and close family. And, based on other family events we've had (e.g., my sister's wedding and births and graduations), these types of things (makes no 
difference whose event it is) really are bonding experiences and (as someone else said) part of the fabric that makes our family. Sounds dramatic but that's kinda how my whole family sees it. I think there's more going on with this particular kid so that my sister doesn't see the choice as game vs wedding/significant family event.

Anyway, onward and upward. :) Thanks again. [/quote]
