[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My SIL had a no kids allowed destination wedding at a $1000/night resort that was hours away from an airport. We had a 2 year old and had never left him overnight and no childcare options. SIL tried to paint this as an amazing opportunity to take a child free 'vacation' (all her close friends also had kids) but we didn't end up going so her only sibling wasn't there.[/quote] Your husband didn’t go alone? When it’s a sibling and your only sibling and your child is 2 and the other parent can manage for a few days solo, not going is pretty aggressive. Did you encourage him to go? Did his sister go to your wedding? [/quote] DP but neither DH nor I would have encouraged or nagged the other person to go. 1K a night and a bunch of PTO to fly to a destination wedding w/ o spouse and kids would be a no go for us at that time in our life. It’s insanely rude to assume your guests are going to sacrifice their family vacation time and budget because you want a destination wedding. If you want a destination wedding by all means have one but the obligations to attend completely change when you choose this path.[/quote] How much pto do you need for 1 night? You are just making excuses to be upset because they didn't invite your precious little toddler. [/quote] We’ve been told over and over that all brides (excuse me, 99.9%) are perfectly happy and never, ever rude when someone declines to attend their wedding for any reason whatsoever. But you seem to be very upset that someone chose not to use PTO to go to your wedding here. Oh dear. I guess you are a special one. [/quote] DP It's not upsetting people decline the invitation. It's upsetting people making up disingenuous excuses for doing so. Why lie about PTO and babysitters? Just say you are declining an invitation to an event that does not accommodate you in the special way you want to be accommodated. Babysitters and PTO is a passive aggressive protest, nothing more. [/quote] If you truly didn’t care, you would not care what reason was given for the decline. The fact is that you are upset that someone chose not to attend your wedding, and lashing out. The position in this thread from child free wedding brides over and over is that they don’t care if anyone declines for any reason, but you are clearly showing you care a great deal. This is of course a common reaction from bridezillas in real life but we are apparently supposed to pretend otherwise here on DCUM, like some sort of mass delusion about narcissist brides must be preserved. You just accidentally let the mask slip, that’s all. [/quote] I'm not expressing this as a child free wedding bride. I'm expressing this as someone reading this nonsense. [/quote] Sure, riiiiight. Nobody who isn’t a child free bride having a temper tantrum cares [i]why[/i] someone politely declines a wedding. You are upset not only that people decline, but [i]why[/i] they politely decline. That’s crazy behavior, sorry. [/quote] You sound like a lunatic. [/quote] Oh dear. You are big mad that we see your temper tantrum because someone declined to go to your childfree wedding. [/quote] What adult talks like you? You sound like a tantruming 13-year-old.[/quote]
