Sounds like you have anxiety issues. This wedding is a stepping stone to help you overcome them.Just wanted to add, this is going to be 3 months of stress and sleepless nights. Not just a few hours of events here and there.

Wife and I flew to HI to attend a funeral. Nice service and spread.
I did not know the depth of animosity. Actual physical fight broke out. I can tell you I would never want to be punched by a large Hawaiian woman.
Im surprised this thread is still open
Our daughter-in-law's uncle, an accountant, said that in his experience the longevity of the marriage was inversely proportional to the amount spent on the wedding.I completely agree on the giant pretentious wedding mess. My cousin got married a few years ago and spent over $40,000 on it. They saved for 6 years and still borrowed money to pay for it. It's even more crazy when you consider that both her and her husband are still paying on their student loans (and complaining about it) and renting an apartment. They complain about how bad the housing market is and cast blame for why they can't afford a house. They don't like it when I remind them that the $40k they spent on a wedding would've made a really good down payment in 2019-20 and gotten payments several hundreds less than their current rent per month. Needless to say, we don't speak much. I bring that stupid wedding up often. The last time she spoke to me was to ask me if I would fix her car after a shop told her it would be $800. I told her "You willingly and excitedly paid $2,600 extra to have more comfortable seating at your wedding for your 150 guests. I'm sure you can come up with $800 to fix your car." She hung up and hasn't spoken to me since.
Im not certain why a reply to me, we seem to run the gamut. I guess based on my previous thought to you it just seemed cut and dry to me. Mental Health or Not. I was looking out for you. Explain to your sister why you do not want to do it and don't.I'm not. I came here for peoples opinions and I got them, none of them remotely offensive.
It's quite obvious how many people don't quite understand mental health issues. But if you've never experienced, then how would you ever know?
If you can start to learn to say no to people and think of your own happiness instead of others, over time you will feel great about yourself and others respect your decisions.
Good luck to you, I meant no ill will.
Keep yourself occupied - ask the limo driver what oil they runI'm not. I came here for peoples opinions and I got them, none of them remotely offensive.

This thread has probably run its course. My guess is that you really don't want to attend and are seeking affirmation how to do it.I'm not. I came here for peoples opinions and I got them, none of them remotely offensive.

Your cousin made the mistake of sharing the financial details of her wedding with an insufferable, pretentious jerk. I wouldn’t talk to you, either.I didn't attend any of my siblings' weddings. My brother attended the wedding for my first marriage, none attended the second. The first one was on a whim, kind of a "why not, let's just do it" kind of thing at the courthouse. My brother wanted to attend the second one, but he couldn't get away from work. I would've gladly attended my brother's wedding but he and his wife eloped to avoid the drama.

Good Luck with whatever you decide.No doubt this thread will get locked as you've dropped to the lows of throwing insults about. Cheers for that.
Thanks everyone for your viewpoints. Much appreciated.
