[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can always skip a wedding if you already have plans. It's not rude at all.

For all you people  who get enraged by no-kids weddings, do you do anything without your kids?  Are they allowed to go to sleepovers alone or to overnight field trips or camps? Do you ever go out to dinner without your kids?  Why all the rage towards an adults-only evening?  [/quote]

I’m not raging I just wouldn’t go. I posted that 4 day weekends with my kids aren’t common. I do all sorts of things without my kids- for example I work. I go on dates with my husband. I see friends.  But for a weekend long event billed as “important for the family”, I’d not believe it was actually important for the family if they weren’t actually inviting my entire family so I would never let the “but it’s family!” line make me feel guilty or really feel anything other than amusement.

The B&G, presumably childless, likely have no idea this is a sacrosanct 4 day weekend. They aren't doing this to stick it to you they chose a fall weekend which so happens to be a random long 4 day weekend. And how is it billed "important for the family" was this written on the invitation? Why are you making so much of this idea? It's a wedding like every other wedding. The closer you are to the bride and groom the more important it is. A cousin's child is not a very close relative at all.[/quote]

Long fall weekends (Labor Day??) are rare and precious for everyone. Cheap couples schedule their weddings on one of these days or a Friday or a weekday so they can get the lowest rate. They could care less about their guests. [/quote]

If you're going to diss an entire swath of people (it's possible that they scheduled it because most people have that Monday off and would prefer to have a long weekend over which to travel!), then at least get your grammar right. It's could NOT care less. If you could care less, then do. But you could NOT. [/quote]
