Sometimes life throws us in a position where it gets difficult to prioritize task in our life. Things appears to be important and aligning each of them is not easy. My elder brother is going through such position in his life and seek some advice. At first I was doubtful and still I am. I am jot sure which way to go. But still I provided my input which may help him to fix the issue.

The issue begins, when he has to make a choice to either attend marriage at in-laws home or to attend facilitation ceremony of his daughter. Honestly, if given me make such choice, I would opt put for the second option. It was on my personal choice, a great achievement in our family which need more attention. But my brother was more prepaired to attend the marriages at in-laws place. Only daughter of his brother in law is getting on the same date. Consider his wife personal choice, he was totally confused. But in my opinion family comes first and his daughter felicitation ceremony needs to be prioritize more. But given the circumstances I have advised few of the solution :
Firstly, Leave the marriage apart and focus on daughter progress as this felicitation won't come back again. She is the future that needed more attention.
Secondaly, either one of them visit the marriage home and other to attend the college.
Thirdly, either both of them visit, the in-laws home and be part of all function and leave the daughter to attend her function all alone. This is not sensible at all. But I have to give all possible scenarios.
Fourth, Either brother of them can attend the engagement ceremony and leave the marriage function to manage daughter program.
The situation is quite complicated. Looking at all the possible suggestion, it does not looks to be more feasible. Either, he need to make a choice between family or relative. I would have chosen the family first. What would you have done in such situation? Whom you prioritize more?
In good faith - Peace!!
