A girl who has been your best friend since grade school was in your first wedding and her and her 9 year old daughter are both in this wedding. Some time after you set your date her husband books a vacation beginning the day of your wedding (supposedly without consulting her on the date) so they choose to stay in the wedding, go to the reception for about a half hour or so and leave so they can change, pack up their car and leave for their vacation. Opinions?

Just because its YOUR special day, doesn't mean all families need to completely plan around it. Maybe that's the only time the husband could really do a vacation? Staying in the wedding and staying for a short time at the reception is perfectly acceptable in my mind.

He friend's wedding was today and we all went. Initially they planned to stay for after the meal but the ended up leaving even before that. The couple chose to do their introduction, the first dance, parents dance and bridal party dance as well as cut the cake before eating. Then the meal was served. I kind of have to wonder if they moved all that to the beginning of the reception because of my aunt. I've never seen it done that way before. They're going to the beach for the entire week. They go ever year. My uncle's sister and her husband had decided to go today so he booked to go with them. I don't see any reason they couldn't have stayed for at least a little while after the meal (even if they would've stayed until about 7:00 or so) and just gotten up early and left tomorrow.

Their hotel stay doesn't start until tomorrow anyway (almost every year they drive a little over halfway and stay at a hotel overnight then drive the rest of the way the next day. It's a total of about 6-7 hours and they drive probably about 5 to get to the first hotel. So they can't even check in until tomorrow afternoon. And this wasn't a second marriage because she's the kind of woman that doesn't take marriage seriously and is going to get married again and again kind of second marriage. Her ex-husband had a lot of issues and wasn't willing to do anything about it. She really did try and stuck it out for a good while but ultimately she had to get out of the marriage. It was taking it's toll on her health.

They put in the time and effort to be in the wedding and at the reception long enough to see people and congratulate the bride and groom, did you want them to seriously stick around the whole time and eat cake #2 and crappy food #2 and dance at stupid #2 dances just because? Maybe they want to drive while the kid is sleeping. Hotels let you do early check-in all the time. Maybe they have something they want to do where the hotel is. Maybe they're going to murder some people on the way and want to get a head start. Either way, it's THEIR vacation.

If it were the other way or even a "well, we're thinking of going to the beach sometime that month so I can't promise that I'll be able to stay for the whole thing" scenario I wouldn't be bothered by it. But I feel like if you agree to be in somebody's wedding and don't state any stipulations up front you should be there for most of it, not barely any of it.

I generally consider "wedding" to include the reception as well.

What's the most important part of the day? The ceremony. Your aunt was there to witness them get married, probably in a dress she hated, as was her daughter. They made an appearance for what seems to be the major events of the reception. Combined, I'd hardly call that "barely any of it." Are you pissed they didn't stick around to help clean up? Does the bride even care that they left early?

Enjoy your damned wedding, be more focused on you and your husband than getting angry at someone over something petty and something you're not going to change.
