I don't understand why he and his fiance want a wedding that will be so impersonnal, even though both sides of the families will be there...
I love my son and enjoy his wife to be, but my question is why do they want their wedding to be held as a spectacle??

I understand what you mean by specticle. Some couples go there and dress up in Renissance clothing etc. I think it is embarrassing. A wedding should be something serious and fun, but you can do that without acting crazy. When I was planning my wedding I never even thought about getting married in Vegas. Its the butt of so many jokes, and celebs go there for their 55 hour marriages. Marriage is a serious thing, it shouldn't be made into a joke.

I don't know... Vegas wasn't my choice, but to each it's own. I'm assuming that they don't feel as if the wedding will be a spectacle. A lot of people get married in Vegas and although you may not like it, it really isn't your decision. I don't mean to sound rude or mean but it's not your wedding and you don't have to Like One Thing about it. If you love your son you should support him in any way necessary, and if that means attending his wedding as a "spectacle" in Las Vegas I suggest you pack your bags. Not every wedding in Vegas is tacky and distasteful. Vegas has many really nice locations, so before you go knocking it maybe you should give them the benefit of a doubt. They may have planned a really nice and elegant wedding. You'll never know unless you go. If you don't go be prepared for the consequences, your son will most likely be really upset with you and I don't think that would be a very good way to kick off your relationship with your new daughter in-law. Put on a smile and do what moms do best, love and support your child. :) Good Luck

You only have to go if you have already told him that you are going. It really is too late to cancel- the time to have told him that you are not going was earlier during their planning stage of the wedding. This would have given them time to get used to the idea of you not being there.
My husband and I ( we are both 26) recently got married in Vegas and we didn't invite our parents. We just told them about it a few weeks before.

It's his wedding. If he is happy with Vegas you should be too.
Would you be more happy with having to plan a huge wedding, hire a caterer and everything else?
If I would ever get married again it would be in Vegas.

You're not in charge, mama, just go and enjoy the moment.
Lots of people get married in Vegas, so there must be something positive about it. My bet is they're a fun loving couple who want their wedding party to have a good time, too. Nothing wrong with that.

The giant church wedding is a spectacle too. If it's what they want, you should be happy for them. This is only one of many decisions that they will be making that put what they want above what everyone else wants.

I think the vegas wedding is no muss no fuss... there is less planning and a lot to do before and after the wedding. Vegas might not be your cup of tea, but it is apparently theres. I would be there to support them. It means a lot to your son.

Unless you have a medical reason for not attending, please GO! Don't worry about where it is or how distasteful it is to you--the important thing is that you be there to support your son. I don't know about your relationship, but my husband would have been crushed if his mother had refused to attend our wedding. Don't ruin your relationship over such a silly disagreement! You'll probably have grandchildren one day--why would you want to create a rift between you and their father? Important family members skipping a wedding is something people remember forever! They'll remember YOU as the tacky one--not the wedding.

I don't know, but it's THEIR wedding and they get to do it as they wish. Stop trying to control the situation. If you are not there, the wedding will commence anyway. Go, enjoy what you can of it, and let them have their day. YOU HAD YOURS, I assume!
