Attending weddings, With your boyfriend. Options

[lilxroxy]

So, my boyfriend of 6 months invited me to go to his cousin's wedding with him in late October...
While I'm thrilled and honored, I am also incredibly wary.
You see, in my opinion I feel like this is something on the serious side.
After telling one of my really close conservative friend about this today, she was kind of skeptical and told me that she doesn't think it's a good idea. Mainly because it would make me seem like I'm a girl without manners?
I don't know.

If I go, I will be staying with him at his uncle's house (in the basement while his brother takes the guest room).
I'm Asian and my boyfriend is Caucasian so there's definitely some culture gap despite the fact that I'm a third cultured kid.

What do you guys think? Is this a big deal or am I overthinking the entire situation? Should I go or not? And what are some wedding etiquette that I should be aware of?

I don't think it's incredibly serious, you're 19 so it's not like the people who are there are going to ask you two when you guys are going to get married (trust me, if you were older and dating a little longer the question could come up). If his extended family knows about you but has never met you it could be a good chance to get to meet them. I don't understand why it would make you seem like you don't have manners, I would think his family would like to get to know you.

If you decide to go, there are two things that might make you uneasy. The first being that you probably don't know anyone there very well (besides your boyfriend, and if you know his parents and/or siblings) but hopefully your boyfriend will let you know what to expect from his family. And the second thing would be if you guys are going to share a room at his uncle's... but I think the type of people they are will kind of determine whether or not that's going to be awkward.
