Did you graduate college?

Her family should be there to celebrate her moment.

That's my point. Maybe OP doesn't realize it's a big deal because she never went to college.

Neither one of my parents attended my college graduation ceremony.

Of course, maybe that's because I didn't graduate from college - (doh!).

Go and be there for your daughter, OP.

Graduation. Don't be an idiot.

Get your priorities in check before your daughter decides that she no longer wants to have anything to do with you!

It's NOT YOUR child getting married, it is your child graduating from college. You need to be at your child's graduation. This isn't some bs preschool graduation, it is college and a huge milestone in a young persons life.

OP, this is easy. go to the graduation. your child will graduate from college only once in her life, while the son's cousin will likely get married two or more. just skip the first wedding and enjoy the second. win win

When you're lying on your deathbed stricken with stage 4 colon cancer wondering where your youngest daughter is, I hope you look back at the lesson you taught her by not going to her graduation. She'll probably be at a coworker's child's first birthday party because, you know, isn't a party more important than your family?

She'll more likely die from cirrhosis of the liver because she clearly hits the bottle all day. She may even be high on crack.

Troll.

This is bullshit! OP, get a life.

Guys, chill out... the cousin's son worked really hard to achieve this wedding. I can't believe you're giving OP crap for wanting to go! Who wants to sit through a graduation (and really, BFD, so you went to school, people go to school every day, biiiiiiiig accomplishment). Borrrrrrrrrring!

And for real, it's not some stranger... it's her COUSIN'S SON. That's like... practically one of her kids.

But anyway, troll, do they even graduation dates this far in advance? Maybe she'll fail some classes and have to wait until next winter.

College graduation is a huge milestone for your daughter. It's obviously a very big deal to her and, therefore, it should be to you as well. Immediate family should be there for one another on important occasions like graduations. A cousin's son is NOT immediate family.
