I'm getting married on a Saturday in January in San Francisco, and my two brothers (one older, one younger) who live on the East Coast are saying they're "too busy at work" to fly out -- even just for the day. Both have started new jobs in the last few months, but these are white collar salaried jobs that don't require you to work on weekends, so I'm not buying the work excuse. I've always had good relations with them. I'm wondering if they don't want to see my mom, who can be a bit of a nag. Or if they are just afraid of weddings (one had a bad divorce, the other likes to play the tough single guy and say he'll never get married). Of if there's something else going on. I keep asking what the issue is, and they keep sticking to their story about having too much work to do.
It hurts not to have a brother come to a wedding. Has anyone been through anything similar? Got any advice for me? I'm at the end of my wits.
