Domineering mother-in-law insists her 1-year-old grandson and DIL travel 22 hours on train for family wedding, daughter-in-law refuses and books a flight instead: “We’re all making ourselves uncomfortable for what then?”

"Marriage is what brings us together today," said that strange pastor in the iconic 1987 movie Princess Bride. Marriage is usually what brings people together, people who would not normally be drinking and dancing and spending a weekend together. It doesn't just bring in each side of an individual's family, but it brings in separate families as well. I know for myself, it's one thing to have a party with my mom's side of the family as well as my dad's, but it's entirely different if there are two more families involved. I'm surprised weddings even exist like this in tradition. I bet there are loads of stories of things not going well though, there's bound to be tension when so many different groups have to come together for sometimes more than one night. 

In the story below, the protagonist is going to her in-law's family's wedding. Her BIL and SIL have weddings, and they all have to travel far. It's a 22 hour train ride, or a flight. Seeing as the protagonist and her husband just had a baby a year ago, they oft for the more comfortable and shorter of the two options, but not before her MIL makes a fuss about it.
