I've been dating my bf for 3 years, living together for 6 months. His cousin(who I haven't met) is getting married in another country and has invited the whole family. My bf received an invitation including a +1, and promptly RSVPd before the deadline, ensuring my name was included on the RSVP. We booked plane tickets, a hotel, and booked off work for the occasion. The bride's dad has just informed my bf that they invited more people than they are able to accomodate so they're uninviting some of the guests, myself included. My bf and his family are livid and think it's extremely tacky to do so, especially considering it's a destination wedding. While I am quite miffed about it all, I don't know the couple and the location is somewhere I travel to often and know I will have a great time even if I don't attend. My bf is adamant on not attending the wedding while still enjoying our holiday together. Luckily our accommodation is not at the resort where the wedding is taking place. The only caveat is that his aging grandma with dementia will be heartbroken he's not attending and he's feeling extreme guilt over that. I told him she might not be around much longer and he should go to the ceremony but skip the reception, rehearsal dinner and welcome party/other events, but he's torn because he feels it's disrespecful to me and he doesn't wanna go without me. Another detail is that the groom plays for a well known professional sports team and is pretty sure most of his guests and their +1s will not be uninvited, only the people low on the social totem pole like myself.
