Fiance family won't come to our wedding... anyone else can relate
When my fiance and I got engaged 2024, his family seemed supportive enough. We have been planning our wedding for over a year and had made our dates clear and he's been in contact with his family (I'm talking aunts uncles cousins)
To add some context I'm white he's Asian and we planned on our wedding weekend an separate event for his culture to celebrate both as we were thinking his family is coming and we know it's important for their culture to feel included. Obviously it's for us to an extent but I can't say that family/peer pressure didn't contribute to the scale of it which was my mistake.
Now the wedding is a month away and EVERY extended relative has said no. Only his mom dad, and sister are coming. They are a quiet, introverted family who have no interest in participating in any aspect of the wedding.
I feel like we're putting so much effort into the culture and even he regrets the time, money and effort planning it. If we had known his family cared so little we would've saved a lot of money. And also gotten a way smaller wedding venue!
This is a rant idk if anyone has experienced anything like this lol
