Prepared to be told AIBU.
My brother and I have never been close, although I try to get along with him for my mum's sake.
I'm getting married this summer. My husband to be is Korean and we are getting married in Korea.
I totally accept that many friends/relatives won't be able to come. It is a long and expensive flight. But I did expect my immediate family to be there.
My brother, however, is refusing to come due to cost. I have offered to pay, my mum has offered to pay but he says he won't take money from others (he has been happy enough to take money from me and my parents at other times, but I guess that's irrelevant to this thread.)
Personally, I don't care if he's there, but I know my mum will feel very hurt as she is quite sad that our relationship is not good. I also think that my in laws will be really confused as Korean culture is very family oriented and a brother not going to his sister's wedding would be very strange.
I think he should just suck up his pride for my mum's sake and come.
AIBU?
