[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. To clarify some points. My teen has SN and is cognitively delayed - we can't leave her alone at home or at a hotel. I am pissed at my parents. They said they aren't going because my sister is excluding my teen so regardless of whether I attend the reception alone - they are not going.

I am not judgmental at all and not resentful. I was very nice and she already knows about my teen and the situation. I thought that she knew we wouldn't be able to go and she sort of expected it by her invite.

And, to clarify, she did originally tell me that even though it was adults only, it was that way because it's an open bar but she talked to them...wait let me get the text and say exactly what she originally said:

"[Teen] is invited - the reception is "adult only" bc of open bar but I told them about [teen] so they are prepared."

Then afterwards, she wrote and said they are "orchestrating and planning" as an adult only party so [teen] can't go.

That's when I let her know that I will celebrate her marriage and we'll attend the ceremony but won't be able to make the reception.

Open bars have no bearing on inviting kids. Adults only weddings are something that every couple has the right to do, but I just think they are gross. My brother just got married in December and my 12 and under nieces and nephews had an absolute blast. Weddings are about getting family together to celebrate the married couple and kids are very much a part of that. If you have an adults only wedding then you have to expect that some people with kid will not attend.

Also why the hell would people tell OP to go without her husband? Maybe I am just weird, but every wedding my husband and I go to always brings about good memories of our own wedding and life we have built together. [/quote]

Yes you are weird and codependent on your husband and children to be able to attend adult activities and have a good time. Other people's wedding enjoyment don't hinge on your children being there.  Paying $30 for chicken fingers and watching them running around the venue screaming is not enjoyable. and P.S. children don't like weddings.

If you are one of those women who can't do anything without your husband and/or your children for your sibling, that tells me everything I need to know about you. [/quote]

NP here. Well said. Don't stir the pot, OP.  It is your sister's day, and she has her reasons.  You make your rules on your wedding day.

Oh, and for those of you who had a sh&tty wedding, you don't get to cause drama for other people. Grow up.
