My niece lives 10 states away and is getting married.
Her invitation stated that my 17-year-old son was invited only to the wedding ceremony — not the reception.
I told her that we would not be spending thousands of dollars (flights, hotel, rental car, gifts) for a 15-minute ceremony.
Her response was, “You can come, and he can sit in the hotel.”
I said that we were still not coming. And (I told her), “By the way — that was so rude.”
Now her parents are angry, and others in the family are weighing in.
We’re still not going to this wedding, as I am still not going to make my son sit in a motel room.
How do I make this situation better?
State: to formally say or write a piece of information or your opinion
Weigh in: to join in an argument or fight
