I my opinion, if you can’t afford to go then that is good reason not to go.
I like the family reunion part of weddings, so maybe your Mom thinks that part would be fun for everyone.
My cousin is getting married in three weeks. I got the invite and it's "black tie optional ".
They are getting married at The Elms and they put on the invite that you could reserve a room. Now, my cousin is 40, never been married, yet it registered at all these hoity toity places. I always thought if someone was older when they got hitched, they really didn't do this? I don't know? I thought the point of registering was to let people know what you need as far as household items because you're starting out? ... Or am I antiquated in my thinking?
She's an attorney for the DoD and he is some high ranking military officer. They're both in their 40s, with lived in their own for years... this wedding is a big deal, and my mom called yesterday asking if the kids and I we're going. She seemed upset when I told her no.
I can't afford (honestly ) the trip to the wedding, a room to stay over and a gift from one of these high brow stores. My son has a suit, but it certainly isn't a tux and it's not a black suit to fit the black tie optional...so there's another expense. My cousin and I are not close.

Is it horrible that I don't go and just send a card and some money...? It want be a lot if money either...lol...just saying.
I think your cousin is demanding if he expects high end crap.
Since I don't know the individual in question I will only assume it's the brides "insistence" that they get the high end junk... I'm only saying this because most dudes are not very demanding when it comes to **** like blenders or household items.
If you want an answer to your question I have none for you because I don't know you or your social circle however, if I was in your position I wouldn't even go to the wedding.
How're you doing? Haven't heard from you in awhile. Hope things are going well.
My cousin is the bride...Haha.
I'm not "high end" in my lifestyle, but she most certainly is.

I don't want to insult your family or anything but (and this is as a joke) -- buy them a silver spoon with a card that reads "I found this I think you lost it". hahaha
I take pleasure in little things
I lol'd..
Anyone that knows me, knows I'm a low maintenance kind of person. Frugal comes to mind. I take pleasure in little things... so something like this isn't at all what I personally would want, and really, I think it's way over the top. I want be attending because I can't afford to and we aren't that close. If I disappoint my family...then so be it.
I took a break from DP for a while; but lately I have more free time, so I am back here off and on. I have not been feeling the greatest though. I get another arteriogram next week to see how everything is going. Then I will know if I need more work done or not. It has been a crazy few years. I am finally medically retiring from the Air Force, and I am on my Terminal Leave time right now (or in civilian terminology, I am taking unused saved up vacation days right now…off but getting paid).
