Blah...I'm sorry. Is it possible to extend your vacation and tack it on to wherever your MIL is getting married?

Honestly, for a wedding I wouldn't necessarily try to accommodate others' schedules. Things are hard to book and there are logistics involved and who knows what the factors were. That said, you're free to go on vacation and miss the wedding, although I realize that's easier said than done. Or you can just go on a shorter trip than planned.

@gingerbebe: Yup, wedding planning was hard enough and trying to accommodate everyone's request (regarding location, food, alcohol and 39750928 other issues).

@ElbieKay: I would just assume she forgot and it wasn't intentional. Either go or don't go. Did your MIL talk to your DH and maybe he didn't forgot that vacation was that week? I tell my DH so many times what our vacation plans are but he can never remember.

ETA: Oh, it's for 10 people? Yeah, I guess I would be a bit annoyed. But I would have a bit of sympathy because my wedding was hell to plan. Dealing with caterers and all that. Ugh!

I'm with you. I would be super annoyed. When you are only inviting 10 people, is it really THAT hard to accommodate the one weekend that your son and daughter in law have pre-existing plans?

My MIL booked my SIL's wedding shower the same weekend that my husband and I had plans to go to Vegas. We had already booked the trip and booked flights for my parents to come to our city and keep our daughter. My MIL and SIL flipped the F out that we wouldn't rebook our trip. FOR A SHOWER. Dude, if you wanted us there so badly, you should have asked us if we were available that weekend. When my MIL asked me if we could change our trip and I said 'no' she went behind my back to try to get my husband overrule my answer. I was NOT pleased.

That's super annoying. I probably wouldn't go...I know that's not a popular decision, but sometimes there are consequences (i.e. people don't attend) when people can't get it together!
