Bad Uncle???

[scottny]

Ok so I booked a trip to disney world 1 1/2 month ago. CRT is booked and paid for, adr's made. Plane ticket paid for.

Countdown on my comp going. Pics of Disney rotate every 15 minuites so I have a new wallpaper pic.

Just got email tonight from sister in law saying my nephew is getting married the day before I come back.

I said sorry but paid for disney and cannot make it.

Now i was given up for adoption at birth so only met birth family 3 years ago. met my nephew once.

Should i feel guilty for not going???

is Disney worth missing my nephew's wedding?

My cousin did not go to my wedding because she was in Australia at the time. You have only met him once, said a card with a gift, and you should be fine.

 

[scottny]

thanks, that is what I thought too.

Maybe something from the housewares dept. at World of Disney in DTD? I
wouldn't give this another thought. Have a blast!

 

[scottny]

LOL

Thanks

Some of my uncles didn't came to my wedding....They just sent gifts. And, of course, that was ok with me. I know they had other things going on.

I agree with them that you should send a gift and have a BLAST at Disney!

Enjoy your vacation! I'm sure you aren't the only person invited that won't be able to attend the wedding. I'd send a nice gift or a card with a gift card even. The nephew's focus will be on the wedding and such. Guilt shouldn't even play a part in it.

Go to DW, have a blast. Just send a card and a gift and you would have already done better than some of my uncles did at my wedding.

Totally agree with everyone else, go and have a great time. If you were still in the planning stages that's one thing. But everything is bought and paid for, so you can't go back now. I also had quite a few of my aunt and uncles not attend my wedding...and they didn't even send gifts. Get them something nice and have the time of your life at Disney!!!!

I didn't go to a family wedding once because of Disney vacation. I'm not the black sheep of the family because of it. I sent a card and money (money cures everything). Go and enjoy!

hi scotty,
its not as bad as you think... i wouldnt worry about it... alot of people miss out on things because of vacation... it happens.... I would send a nice gift and just apologize for not being there (if you want- you can say that you had a better time in WDW then being there!! hahahahaha! JK)
Enjoy your trip and dont worry about not being there... there are probably going to be other things that come up that will be missed as well!
Have a great time and no worries! hakuna matta

 

[scottny]

Thanks all. makes me feel better. Disney here I come. LOL

Your reservations were already made. Giving you 1 1/2 months notice about a wedding is pretty short notice. Usually you hear about weddings much farther in advance. If you would like to get to know your nephew better, offer to make a visit to deliver the gift in person. Enjoy your trip guilt free!

 

[scottny]

Thank you, it will be guilt free. I hope. LOL

 

[Applemomma]

Go and have a blast and send a nice gift. If they are telling people that their date is only two months away then they may find a lot of people can't make it! It probably won't be a surprise to them that you can't do it. Maybe find out if they have a favorite Disney Character and get them something nice from Disney too.

 

[scrapbookworm]

If the relative was someone you were close to, then I would reconsider. However, since it is someone you have only met once, I would just send a card and a present.

 

[schmoopypoo]

I definitely agree with everyone else. Go and enjoy DW guilt free! Trust me, your nephew will have plenty of other things on his mind. I know this from experience in my family (there have been MANY weddings). Go and have a great time

 

[mabenoab]

I'm sure everyone will understand that you had made prior arrangements for that week. When I got married (granted it was 22 years ago!) I didn't mind at all if someone couldn't come...and if they sent a gift anyway, I was delighted!

Perhaps at some later date you could go and visit your nephew and his bride and extend your in person congratulations then.

When I was getting married my MIL told me most people wont come. and some will just send money, thats what we cointed on. If everyone came that I sent invites to, it would have been crazy. My brother who was supossed to give me away decided not to come at the last min. ( he was mad at my mom) If fact the only family I had was my Mom. no brothers, aunts uncles or cousins.
Go to dis and enjoy yourself.
