My cousin is getting married in Italy in October. She has invited the entire extended family. No one in my immediate family wants to go. My mother won't be long over a hip replacement so she definitely can't go. My sister has children, who will be in school at the time. Her DH is a teacher so also won't be able to go. I have already made plans for my annual leave this year and don't want to change it. My brother and his wife just really don't want to use up their holiday time and budget for a family wedding.
However, our other cousins are all going. One family are even taking their children out of school for a week. My mother is now getting embarrassed that none of us are going and thinks it will look 'odd'. I'm starting to feel really guilty, but still don't want to go.

AIBU?

Agree YouCantGetHereFromThere. We thought and accommodated our guests as I said upthread. Sweeping statements annoy me because they are not true.

YANBU to not want to go. Just let them know now so as they have enough notice re any catering or other arrangements.
