In that hes a racist and has polar opposite viewsto mine. His wtb is very nice and i dont know what she sees in him. My mother I think is at the end of her thether. Just when youthink hes changed he comes out with yet another wild conspiracy theory. I have no children but my sister does and we are in two minds. My mother would be upset if my sister didnt go. Its a small do they have no money and people would notice if his siblings didnt show up.

Im tempted to say im working.

If it will make it easier on your mum and sister with you being there I'd go for them rather than him.

If your brother hasn't said or done anything unpleasant to you directly, and there's no back story, then yes it would be nice to attend his wedding if only to keep the peace and support his wtb.

I wouldn’t go.

Is everyone’s brother getting married in the next few months, third thread I’ve seen today!

Joinourclub · 01/01/2019 19:51

Yes, I would definitely go for my mother’s sake.

Carbsnomarbs · 01/01/2019 19:52

But in answer to your question unless he’s been personally offensive towards you then a difference of opinions and lifestyles isn’t a reason to miss a siblings wedding

Unless you're NC then you should go.

I would expect my siblings to be at my wedding even if we aren't bessy mates!

WanderingTrolley1 · 01/01/2019 20:53

I would go.

underneaththeash · 01/01/2019 21:30

Yes, me too. I'd attend as well.

formerbabe · 01/01/2019 22:33

I'd go. Grin and bear it.

I've nothing in common with my brother and didn't get invited to either of his 2 past weddings. Not holding any hope/interest in going to 3rd but no idea of that's on the cards or not!

If money is tight I see no reason you cannot cite 'sorry unable to get time off work' as an excuse for a mid week wedding, but if you feel you have to support your mother/other sibling then that's fine
