Should I let DS go to this wedding

43 replies

So DS's girlfiriend (Say what you want it seems like a decent relationship they slowly moved into it over a number of years and they've been friends since they were like 5 he's 15 now) her Sister's wedding is coming up. And anyway he knows the family well and gets along with them. He's been invited to the wedding since he is really close with the family (he's like a close cousin to them).

Anyway this invite came from the bride and groom themselves. He wants to go and I'm tempted to let him go. He and his girlfriend are taking a taxi from her house to it (she lives walking distance from our house) and then taking a taxi home.
So do I let him go. It would feel rude not to since
A) he wants to go
B) the bride and groom invited him sorta says he's wanted
C) I know he'd behave he's not the hyper wild teen type when it comes to weddings
Any opinion is appreciated thanks

Why wouldn’t you let him go?

Shinyletsbebadguys · 11/02/2019 21:35

Why wouldn't You?

Isth · 11/02/2019 21:36

What a weird question. Why on earth wouldn’t this be okay?

SassitudeandSparkle · 11/02/2019 21:36

What reasons would you have for not letting him go, I can't see any!

Bestseller · 11/02/2019 21:36

Of course. I can't think of any reason why you wouldn't?

Crunched · 11/02/2019 21:37

I don’t get what the issue is here?

Wolfiefan · 11/02/2019 21:37

Why do you think he shouldn’t?

Bananasarenottheonlyfruit · 11/02/2019 21:37

Why wouldn’t you?

theonerealdiva22 · 11/02/2019 21:38

If anyone thinks I'm not letting him go just want to say before I wrote this I'm thinking 99.99% chance of saying yes just wanted to get that to 100%.

Also the bride and groom are extroverted so they want as many guests as possible

I'm thoroughly confused why there would be any question about this?

xyzandabc · 11/02/2019 21:40

What is your thought process behind thinking you shouldn't let him go?

I can't see anything in your op that suggests it would be a bad idea. Why would you not let him go?

user1493413286 · 11/02/2019 21:40

I have no idea why you wouldn’t let him go

MeganJPerry · 11/02/2019 21:42

Silly question on the surface of it unless you really think there is a threat he might face.

Wolfiefan · 11/02/2019 21:42

What’s your reservation? Don’t you trust him? Worries about the other guests or alcohol?

CrispbuttyNo1 · 11/02/2019 21:44

I’m so confused as to why you would even consider not letting him go. It’s a family event, with someone he has known most of his life. 🤷🏻‍♀️

AnyFucker · 11/02/2019 21:44

What possible reason to say no do you have ? Confused

CrispbuttyNo1 · 11/02/2019 21:45

He’s also 15 not 5. At that age I would simply have said to my mum that I was going to a wedding..

AnneLovesGilbert · 11/02/2019 21:46

Course he should go! And it’s perfectly normal for a 15 year old boy to have a girlfriend.

SnuggyBuggy · 11/02/2019 21:48

What are you concerned about?

anniehm · 11/02/2019 21:51

Why wouldn't you let him go - he's not suggesting he stay the night even

CrispbuttyNo1 · 11/02/2019 21:52

You do start some very odd threads 😂

emilybrontescorsett · 11/02/2019 21:56

Yes let him go.

MirandaWest · 11/02/2019 21:57

Why wouldn’t you let him go?

punishmepunisher · 11/02/2019 22:09

Why is this a question?

Does he need your permission? If he wants to go what's the issue?
