This Mom is On Fire

A couple is planning their wedding for later this year. They come from large families, so the guests will be between 100 and 150. The bride is reaching out to the online community with a dilemma she and her husband-to-be are having.

His wife and her family had a 5-day family vacation planned in July. They booked an Airbnb for everyone, including his wife, her siblings, their spouses, and her parents. He had a work trip to attend to at the same time as the vacation. However, it was only two days long, so technically, he could have gone to the last few days of the vacation but opted not to.
