Yes, two independent events celebrating the same thing[1] is overkill. Don't worry about what they have to say, one will do.
[1] Where I presume you'll be subjected to annoying conversations pertaining to why you're not married yet (at least I know I would be).
i'm still in pain. this is not good.
anyway, my cousin who's getting married is having two weddings - one in delhi because her fiance's family is there, and one here. and apparently the whole family here is going to go to
both weddings. i didn't realize what a big deal it was and figured i would just go to the one here so why go all the way to india??? but of course, i'm now getting crap for that because EVERYONE else is going.
and look, i would love to be there for my cousin, but:
1) it costs money (airfare, clothes, etc.)
2) delhi in july? are you serious? i don't do well in that kind of weather.
3) i can't take off
too much time in july because of work stuff, and i also don't want to go all the way to india just for a short trip. it's just too far and tiring a journey, and by the time i get adjusted to the time difference, i'll have to come back.
4) she's getting married here too - it's not like that's her only wedding. if it was, i would go.
5) wedding stuff stresses me out. i am trying to avoid stress right now. one family wedding per year is my limit.
i hope she understands. and i hope the rest of my family can lay off.
