I didn't, it was very important to me. The difference is, your il and my bro and sis.

We had no siblings at our wedding and I'm still a little peeved. We are the ones dragged across the planet to visit, attend simchas and what not with no reciprocation from either side's siblings. Not like I"m bitter about it or anything lol Smile

grrrr.

I missed my brothers wedding, since I had a brand new baby and it was a loooooooong plane ride away. I'm still sad about it.

My family is small. ILs probably won't have Jewish weddings. I can't imagine missing a sibs wedding.

I have to ask this, but why would your parents make 2 weddings when they knew you couldn't come? Couldn't 1 have been a month or two earlier, & 1 could be a month or 2 later?

The weddings were 1 month apart and the choson and kallah wanted to get married. It couldn't have been earlier, just because. A month or 2 for a choson and kallah is a long time.

My husband's only sibling his brother missed out wedding because he was denied a visa. They were both very sad about it. I am in the process of moving mountains to attend my only sibling's (my sister) wedding. Sometimes its just not what were are supposed to do. Thats life. As long as we try.
