OUt of state wedding Problem Help please ladies

I have a problem. My cousin is getting married in Miami Florida. He did fly up here to attend my wedding,but did not pay for a nickel to come his parents footed the bill. Anyway, thats not important he decided that this girl he has known a very short time and him would be married in May. We are not close at all. He never returns a call, card nothing. I am very close with his mom and dad. Anyway, they planned the wedding for May 5th. We did not get the invite yet, but I heard through the grapevine. That date was fine,but now they decided to have it the following Saturday which is Mother's Day weekend. My husband has an aging mother in an assisted living faclity so he is not going to the wedding now because they make a big deal fwhere she lives for Mothers day which I totally understand. Here is the problem. I have to leave after work, only option with my mom. We would land at 11:00pm if all goes well. Then we have to get from Ft. lauderdale to Miami. No other option. My mom and I are not comfortable renting a car and driving through Miami and God knows where. So we get a shuttle I just called $105 one way for us! That 's the price of my airline ticket one way. I would have been fine with this whole thing if my husband was going. I would feel safer. Then the next day I am not sure on the day of the wedding who we would ride with. Not that many people from our side of the family going only his mom and dad for sure and I don't know if they can transport us around. Anyway, I am a very nice person and want to do the right thing. He did come to ours, but grew up here so knew his way around and all expenses were paid. To be honest, I don't even feel like he cares about me anyway, I never hear from him. I am not really even worried about him so much as my aunt and uncle. I haven't said anything yet because I still don't have the invitation or any further info. This is going to wind up costing $1000 at least. I am very worried about the safety issue. 2 women traveling alone in the middle of the night is way different then with a man. Help..Please help!
I asked my friends at work and they said send a gift and call it a day if this wedding even takes place. They keep changing their mind.

Personally, I would send a gift and a nice card and thats that. If you cant afford to go, you just cant afford to go.

It kind of sounds like you don't want to go. So don't. Don't stress yourself out emotionally or financially. Send a card & be done with it.

Agree, just call it a day. Save the money for something else.

I would also, not attend. Send a card apologizing for not attending. What's the worst that could happen? He would not speak to you? Oh-he already doesn't!
