future in laws not attending wedding

LOL what do they think is so "bad" about Canada?? They even speak English. It doesn't feel all thst much different from the US. What is the real issue here??

Unless they are seriously infirmed, this makes no sense. No sense, at all. It's not about the weather. It's something far deeper. Put it in his lap and accept the outcome.

If they live in the Northeast US their weather can't be that different. I'm Canadian and live in the US ...we are getting married in the US and all my Canadian family is coming ...because they want to share my special day. If I were to guess they are just making excuses possibly because they don't want to be unconvienced with traveling.

The way it sounds, they are finding an excuse to not come and it has nothing to do with Canada as a country. Either A) they don't want to make the effort (which FH needs to find out), or B) they can't, there's something they don't want to tell you that prevents them from coming.

There are underlying issues with the family and your FH, I would suspect, and not having to do with Canada. He needs to deal with that. Just be there to support him, this has to be hard for both of you, him especially. Rubbish all around, I flew to Winnepeg to be in my best friend's wedding and didn't complain.

Where in Canada are you having the wedding? I'm pretty sure the Northeastern states get worse weather than us! (in Toronto anyway)

I feel like this is a totally nothing to do with it being in Canada - You need to do some more digging...even if it is, how can they just not go to their own sons wedding because of it! That's awful

I must agree with everyone! I've seen similar things happen in family's before, un-fortunately. I had a bride who's father was perfectly healthy, lived within 10 miles of the ceremony, they have a loving very close relationship, but he would not walk her down the isle-he didn't even go to the wedding at all. There was no real reason, at least none that I've ever heard. She walked half way down the isle by herself to her fiance and they walked the rest of the way together. You just never know how people react to weddings, it's very strange. I know it's difficult, but try to make the best of it, you have the love of your live and your whole family who are thrilled to be part of your wedding!

I'm so sorry this is happening. I agree seems like there is more going on.

I hope this makes you smile a little......

Do any of them have a criminal record? If so, they can be denied entry into Canada. Perhaps they realize this and don't want to discuss it.

It shouldn't even matter where the wedding will take place! Their son is getting married and they should want to be there no matter what...I personally think that is beyond selfish. I think you should stay out of it because that should be between your FH and his family.

And yes, I don't think it's fair that your fiancé wants you to convince them to attend. That's not your job or your place. HE should be dealing with his family.
