Need some advice

It would not be wrong or bad of you if you can't attend the wedding. I'm sure if you explain the situation to your brother he would completely understand. I'm sure they can facetime you or live stream the wedding so you can enjoy from afar. I know you're probably sad you can't go, but don't feel bad or guilty about it. It's out of your control.

I know how this is because my sister is traveling internationally for my wedding. There's almost always a solution to these kinds of situations 🙂 Is your partner invited too? He should be splitting the costs with you. And I would accept your family's help. If they offer to pay for your accommodations, then it's clearly worth it to them.

Hi ! I understand, you have your pride and all... but think about your brother, I'm sure he would want you there ! And do accept your family's help - it can be just a loan maybe ??

I can't imagine not attending my sibling's wedding so if I didn't have the money and my family offered to cover it then I would gladly accept their help. Are you close to your bother and family? I would be concerned not attending would cause a major rift in your relationship with them.

I would do absolutely everything in my power to attend this once in a lifetime event.

View Quoted Comment You're right. It is a once in a lifetime event. The thing is I don't want to come back to Cyprus with no money at all. I'm just about surviving with my savings at the moment.

View Quoted Comment Yes. I'm quite close with my brother and family. This is also my concern if I was not attending to the wedding. Honestly, if I was stable financially I will not hesitate to go but I'm worried I will come back with absolutely nothing.

View Quoted Comment Good point. He would be disappointed if I wasn't there. I'm quite disappointed in myself to be honest..

View Quoted Comment I guess so. I'll speak to him later today and see how it goes!

View Quoted Comment Thanks. If my family aren't able to offer help with costs facetime/stream is also an option. Although I know it won't be the same.

Why don’t you want your family to help you with the finances? They obviously want you there. I hope you can attend. It is such an important day in your brother’s life
