Okay, hear me out.
Also on 6/26, my fiancé’s cousin is getting married. This cousin is on the side of HIS family that we don’t really ever see as well. They live several hours away and I’ve actually never met this side of his family. However, my fiancé has never met the large side of my family who’s having the reunion on the same day. This wedding is about 2-2.5 hours away from the reunion.
Reunion starts at 12 (in Bardstown KY), wedding is at 4:45, cocktail hour at 6, and reception at 7 (all in Cincinnati OH).
So we’re getting married on 10/23/21 and ALL sides are invited. So we’ll see them all at our wedding, no matter what.
My question is - what do we do? Try and go to both? Split up - me at the reunion and him at the wedding? Skip the ceremony and just do the cocktail hour/reception? Is that super rude to skip the ceremony? If we did both and tried to make the ceremony too, we’d have to leave the reunion no later than 2-2:15 at the very latest. Minus time to get ready (20-30 min cause we’ll have already showered & gotten mostly ready for the reunion anyway). So we’ll only have 1-1.5 hrs at the reunion. And that’s if people show up AT 12, which is unlikely.. they’ll probably trickle in slowly and all be there by 1. So really.. less than an hour with people at the reunion.
What would you do? We have to RSVP to the wedding by May 15th!
