What to do: ideas?

me and h2b were planning to get married this year, but decided to go a year later as his mum was getting married in dec, so we have everything set for sept 2014 and then her and her h2b split up, move out and cancel the wedding. They had asked our daughters to be bridesmaids (age 4 & 8) and we had to tell them it wasn't going to happen and they were really upset. Now his mum has rescheduled for march 2014, has assumed we will take the girls off school for her now weekday wedding (originally a sat) and hasn't even told us herself that they are even back together.

The new date is also when one of our daughters is away at camp with brownies so she won't be able to make it at all.

I feel really bad for my daughter and while I think that his mum should be free to get married wherever and whenever she chooses, she is now being really nasty to my h2b and we will have to tell her our oldest isn't going to be able to make it whatever happens.

    It's perfectly understandable some of you might not be able to make it. The girls will be much more excited about your wedding, and it sounds as though this one might not be a dead cert perhaps....?

    H2b's brother did comment something based on 'if it doesn't get cancelled again'. I think it will be going ahead, it's just such a shame that they didn't think to mention it, esp as she is addament she wants the children there and involved in the wedding.

    I feel mean saying they shouldn't miss two or three days of school and a trip but in reality that is the case.

    Both girls however are very excited that they will be bridesmaids for mummy and daddy. Smiley smile

    If she cares that much that your girls are there, she should make damn sure that she picks a date when they can make it. That is, either at a weekend or in the school holidays when they're free (i.e. not at a previously arranged Brownie camp). It's incredibly irresponsible of her to assume you'll take them out of school for her wedding. Schools hate that because it disrupts children's education. As your H2B says, she's free to get married whenever she chooses. However, she's not free to complain if some of her guests can't make the day she chose if she didn't choose it with their needs in mind.
