My soon to be brother-in-law is getting married. This will be the 3rd for each of them. Knowing we had already planned to have all my fiance's family at our home for the holidays, they are planning a big wedding that will fall about 1 month prior. Our family holiday has been planned since last year and they only got engaged about 2 months ago. I know that his family will not be able to make two back-to-back trips for reasons of time and money. Since this is their 3rd marriage, are family members expected to come? Are we out-of-line to ask them to reconsider their date so that other family members don't feel torn to choose? FYI... we live in Texas and the rest of the family lives in California. Please help... we don't want hurt feelings!

Dear Planning,
It wouldn't hurt to ask them to reconsider the date. They may not even realize the closeness of the dates. However, the third marriage is as important as a first. So, yes family should attend if possible.
