MIL was very honest with my husband in saying that she would not show up to the wedding because she did not support us getting married. We had a big blow up almost a year and a half ago about her not wanting him to get married at a young age, giving sob stories on how she ended up (married at 21, divorced by 23) and she doesn't feel as though we were ready for such a big step. Words were exchanged between my grandmother and her and she never spoke to me again. Honestly, I didn't try to reach out because I was so upset and we have let almost 1 year and 6 months go by with nothing! It upsets me, but I don't know what to say to her at this point.
GMIL and SIL said they were coming multiple times (despite MIL saying that she wouldn't come)... the day of, my poor hubby was walking around like crazy and constantly looking at their table looking for his family (he has a very small family, his grandmother and sister mean the world to him). After a while, he gave up hope and came into my bridal suite bursting into tears a little after the ceremony (ceremony & reception were at the same place). I don't know what to say to him or how to even address this situation, I feel like I don't want to keep bringing it up because it's like cutting him deeper but he's the type of person to keep his feelings inside and that's not good either. The "counselor" part of me wants to process these feelings and try to make him feel better but I don't know how to approach this.
Any advice?
