My cousin had a crappy divorce. He has two children, aged 9 and 11, and is getting married again. I got the wedding invite the other day and just went on the website to have a look at the details and read that it’s a child-free wedding. I told my mum and she said that his own kids won’t be there.

Don’t you think that’s a bit crap?! To not invite your own kids to your wedding???

if he can’t do something as simple as integrate his children into his wedding day, then there is some fundamental problem with his relationships that will only be made worse with a marriage.

Maybe they don’t want to attended. Or the ex won’t let them. Or he doesn’t have much to do with them so dngaf if they are there. Maybe he sees it as hassle on his wedding day having them there.

Loads of reasons.

No. I think he's probably discussed it with them and they have decided they don't want to come as they feel too loyal to their mum. Or perhaps mum's told him they won't be going. Maybe they live far away and he doesn't have much contact? Basically there's nothing saying they haven't been asked if they want to go.

At least he is being consistent.
