Idk whats up with your mum but you should be attending weddings you are invited to
What? Why?
It's rude and antisocial
No? It's an invitation. I'd have been disappointed if people I'd invited turned it down, but it's not rude to decline.
I mean we're just arguing opinions at this point. Plenty of people perceive declining to attend a wedding rude. It can be seen as disapproving of the marriage. Particularly if this is a close friend or relative. You better make absolutely sure that the couple knows you are happy for and supportive of their marriage should you decline a wedding invitation.
You're right, it differs across cultures certainly. For a wedding of a presumably Asian cousin they don't know in another city, that's a tricky one. I guess OP might just be looking for an acceptable excuse but can't find one.
No, not really. I think it's more rude and anti-social to expect everyone you invite to your wedding to show up.
