Should I let DS go to this wedding

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

You do start some very odd threads

Maybe someone's half term started early?!

GiveMeAllTheGin8 · 11/02/2019 22:17

Why would you not let him Hmm

WTF is the bit in brackets? Why would anyone have anything to say about a 15yo having a girlfriend Confused

SemperIdem · 11/02/2019 22:28

Are you concerned that he is going to have free and unsupervised access to alcohol at the wedding?

That’s the only thing I can think might be bothering you, yet the only thing you haven’t mentioned.

LLOE7 · 11/02/2019 22:29

Another one that's confused as to why he wouldn't go...

MiniMum97 · 11/02/2019 22:40

Your post is very odd. Why would you not let him go. And what has the "extroverted" nature of the bride and groom and how many guests they want have to go with it?!?

Maybe someone's trying to gauge his mums reactions...!

Sorry I don't get it. Reaction about what?

LuluBellaBlue · 11/02/2019 23:11

How bizarre!!! Please explain to us all why you would even consider not letting him go?!

ConfCall · 11/02/2019 23:21

I was waiting for you to say something about an overnight stay or cocaine on tap or something.

As it stands, I genuinely don't see the issue.

FromDespairToHere · 11/02/2019 23:22

Is this actually a reverse? Are 15 and plucking up the courage to ask your mum if you can go? Because otherwise I don't understand the question!

autumnboys · 11/02/2019 23:24

Yes, I would. dS1 went to his girlfriend’s brother’s 18th at a similar age.

CrispbuttyNo1 · 11/02/2019 23:33

Ops other threads are all quite strangely worded too. So I wouldn’t say a reverse.

OnTheHop · 11/02/2019 23:40

Depends who the DJ is.

pasanda · 12/02/2019 22:14

No I wouldn't.

It sounds far too dangerous. Don't do it OP!

Gruzinkerbell1 · 12/02/2019 22:17

Clutches pearls in horror

TeenTimesTwo · 13/02/2019 14:57

Maybe the OP is concerned he has only been invited because they feel obliged (a duty invitation) and therefore whether he should turn it down as he won't really be wanted there?

theonerealdiva22 · 13/02/2019 20:19

@TeenTimesTwo I'm kinda ashamed and embarassed to admit it but yes. That's why I mentioned the extroverted thing it sorta makes me feel better since I know they're trying to get a massive crowd and make the wedding more like a prom than a wedding aka instead of infintimate a massive event (talking about American proms as my example).
But after looking into it it seems they really do want him there. I can see why to be honest she's known him for years the brides mum taught him in primary school and so she knew him from a young age and he and his Gf were always really close friends so he knew the family well
