Hmm, unless you have a real reason to believe that side of the family wouldn't like having you you there, I say go! You were invited, right... Can you go for only part of the time - show up, meet everyone, chat, and then go run errands or something while your MIL does more catching up with her relatives?

At the end of high school/beginning of college, I dated a guy who is from Mexico. I would sometimes go to parties and family type gatherings with him where I'd often be the only white person (and only person who didn't really speak Spanish). His family was very nice and friendly, and I always had fun. It wasn't a big deal at all.

Anyway, what I'm saying is that it could be really interesting and maybe fun to meet some of Doug's (distant) relatives. What does your MIL think? Does she want you to go?
