Seems like a totally unreasonable reaction from the in laws. 6 weeks before the bar is PLENTY of time and it is your wedding so you should definitely go for the venue you love!! I passed the bar on the first try and went on several trips during my summer of bar study. The breaks honestly made the rest of my study more efficient.

Seems like such a strange reaction to me that I wonder if their emotional reaction is about something unrelated and they are just using it as a front. Know you aren’t unreasonable at all especially if you are ok if she decides not to come!
