[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a no kid wedding coming up and the spouse who is the blood relative will go while the other stays back. [/quote]

We do this for local weddings but won’t spend money on flights/hotel to attend a wedding solo. [/quote]
Not to hijack, but this is my question. We have younger cousins’ weddings this summer and we’ve decided not to go because the money for travel and hotel and the time off takes away from our nuclear family summer getaways. Are we awful for not sending the blood relative?[/quote]

DP. Younger cousins? You're fine to send a nice gift, write a really heartfelt card, and not attend. Unless these cousins are very close to the blood relative, have spent a lot of time together during their lives, etc., and/or the blood relative is very close to the aunt/uncle who is the cousin's parent, I think it's fine not to go to a bunch of cousin weddings. Spend that time and money and travel on your nuclear family. Especially as there are travel and hotels involved--if this were in your town or a short drive away, sure, go for it, but that's just not the case. [/quote]
