Should I go to the wedding?

We’ve been invited to a family member’s wedding (abroad so will require considerable expense, time off work, arranging pet/house sitter, etc). I’m happy for DH to go (it’s his family member) but I cba with all of that hassle for someone who refused to speak to us for months after we told them we’d gotten married (registry office, just us and two close friends as witnesses). So was clearly super happy for us 🙄
AIBU? DH thinks I am and should try to build bridges. I’m quite happy with the absence of a bridge (but don't want to cause WWIII).

Getting married abroad makes it difficult for guests, they made their choice, you make yours.

I would not go. DH can make his own mind about going.

Definitely wouldn’t be up for going. I can see your DH’s POV though. Is it a sibling or a random distant cousin?

This. Why does DH want to go and would he go on his own? (Or stay home and blame you which is not going to help matters)
