I agree. And it seems like you, Christophe, have said she's insisted you go see the Sisters (that's the proper reaction of relatives imho!).Quiff Boy wrote:same here to be honest. but then we are children of a rock and roll age - presumably his granny isn't and may not understand his passion for a band..._emma_ wrote:Well if I was a granny I'd hate to see my grandson or granddaughter or anyone being made to face such a dillema.

2 choices: a) discuss with her whether another date for the big party would be feasible, because you'd LOVE to be with her on the big day.
b) If a) is not possible, have a special evening with her, just the two of you: invite her for dinner, in and you cooking (best choice), or out and you paying (second best choice). Or invite her to something else which is fun for both of you. However, just show her that she is very important to you too.
I'd be the first to agree that family are the most important in one's life if one gets along more or less with them. But on the other hand, the youngsters have to live their life as well, one can't just feed off the relation one has with the family, because sooner or later one will loose them to death anyway.
