AIBU to think you shouldn't be angry if no-one wants to go to your stupidly expensive wedding abroad?
Not really involving me as we said no aaaagggeeees ago as the kids would have been 18 months and 4 and didn't feel comfortable leaving them for 5 days to go abroad.
On one hand, I really feel for this family member - wedding pushed a year due to COVID but on the other hand I think you reap what you sow.
Family member has planned a wedding abroad in a European country, looks like a beautiful venue and I'm sure it'll be lovely. It's a child free wedding which is fine, but it's also a day before and day after event with no kids allowed at any of it so it's not like you can make a family holiday of it.
They invited about 60 people and have today launched a social media rampage about how selfish people are for not prioritising their wedding. They only have 7 people attending; bride's parents, sister and aunt and groom's brother, finance and uncle. All friends and other family have declined.
DH and I considered going and taking in law's with us for childcare until we found out it was a 3 day affair and that it would cost us almost £10k for 6 of us for 4 nights without spending money, outfits etc!
I can't help feel it's karma though, this family very bitchy about pretty much everyone.
