[quote=Anonymous]I’m deeply sympathetic to families where there is a grandparent, parent, or sibling of the bride and groom who is genuinely unable to travel to attend a wedding- due to health issues, extreme financial hardship, etc. In those cases, it is really hard to justify this type of wedding IMHO- assuming a good relationship with the above people. And seems quite selfish. On the other hand, I think immediate family members who dig in their heels (absolutely will not attend) based on principle (rather than being truly unable) are being needlessly difficult. It may not be ideal, but it is a sibling’s wedding and you should go and suck it up. Extended relatives and friends….are not really the focus if you are having a destination wedding. To me, the invitations in that case are “we’d love for you to join us, but understand most won’t”. And indeed, we don’t usually attend. Which is fine with me. [/quote]
