Can we travel to the wedding if we haven't been invited
Hi! I need some proper advice!
My cousin (male) is getting married in a couple of weeks. My mother and aunt were invited but we cousins were not. I am not offended by this is the least...I know they are on a very limited budget. This is my question:
The wedding is in Los Angeles. My mom and aunt are flying there the day before the wedding and staying 2 days after the wedding for shopping and the beach. None of us have ever been to LA, so it is exciting. I would love to go. My mother and aunt are paying for the hotel room, travel, food, everything! So the bride and groom would not be out any money. I would not expect to attend the rehearsal or ceremony...I can entertain myself at the beach or shops!! No problem there! :) I would just love to get away from my kids and spend a fun couple of days with my mom and aunt in LA...
But, I don't want to be in the least bit rude. Afterall, I am a Southern Gal and we put manners up there with religion!! I might not even see him, but if I did I would not want to make my cousin feel like he needed to extend me a "last minute invite" to the ceremony. Please tell me what to do in this situation.
Thanks!
Angie in Lousiana

Dear Angie in Lousiana,
I'm definitely going to have to travel to the South.
Although, your cousin may feel a tug to invite you, you are not in any way inviting yourself. So, it should be fine. You may want to ask your aunt and mother not to mention that you are there (not that it need be a secret). That way he won't feel guilty.
