Our friends are getting married in Provence next month and we're having second thoughts about whether to go. Flights are far more expensive that we thought and once we've added car hire and accommodation, it's going to cost us over £1,000, which is a lot of money for us.
We're trying desperately to get out of debt at the moment too, which is another reason not to go. However, I feel bad because the couple in question came to our wedding in the UK and we initially accepted their invite months ago. However, they're not particularly close friends and the wedding is being held at a family home so us not turning up wouldn't impact the cost of their wedding significantly. What would you do and am I being mean spirited by cancelling with only a month to go? Advice appreciated!
