I think it's awful that your brother is willing to have your family so excluded from the wedding party/wedding preparations.
Obviously, the bride does usually have a larger say in planning the wedding, but a smart bride would honor her husband-to-be by including his family. |
I do understand that it is their wedding but still I feel she needs to respect his blood family too. I have been to a few weddings in which the grooms' relatives were included in some way. My brother is planning to get married in a traditional Catholic wedding mass. Usually two readings are done. The readers will be the bride's sister and her uncle. Two of her cousins are taking up the communion gifts. Nobody from my family is participating in the mass.
