I'm getting married on Saturday. We're having a gigantic American-style wedding - church ceremony, over 250 guests with a sit-down dinner, a very large, formal event. The next day, Sunday, my husband's uncle is having a backyard BBQ 40 miles from our house, to honor his son (husband's cousin) and wife, who lives 2000 miles away, hasn't been home for 2 years, and eloped about a year ago. I've never met either and won't until Friday at the Rehearsal dinner.
On Monday, husband and I leave for 3 week trip out of the country. Needless to say, I need to pack and get ready.
I want to spend Sunday, the day between the wedding and the honeymoon, relaxing at home, and packing. Husband insists he will attend this BBQ, I won't go. Am I wrong? Aside from practical reasons, how can I convince him to not go? Why would he want to spend his first day of being married by hanging out with his famliy instead of me? This cousin hid his marriage from his family for a year, BTW.
