I'm having a hard time with something and wanted to get an opinion on this.
My husband's best friend is getting married soon and it's an out-of-state wedding for us. He is a groomsman in this wedding too. We went to book flights (over $1,000 for our family of 4 to fly, not including hotel and other expenses) and as we were booking them, we received a call from the groom saying that our children were not invited. Normally, I would be happy to oblige as I have been through the wedding planning process before but my daughter (3 years old) is his goddaughter AND they are having other children attend. They mentioned that the children attending are in their family so I assume nieces and nephews. My husband spoke up explaining that we could not leave our brand new baby (will be 3 months old at the time of the wedding) and they said she could come but not my 3 year old, his goddaughter. Due to these circumstances, I am having to stay behind with the 2 small children at home. We even said that if cost were the issue, we would pay her way to eat or whatever it was going to cost so they didn't have to worry about it. But they said no. Am I crazy to be upset about this? I feel it's really hurtful to not include his goddaughter and also say one of my children can come but not the other. Thoughts?
