No.
No
It's your cousins life. Just go, and wish him well. Life is to short.
I would not.
If you don't, you'll regret it later.
Well, if you would feel uncomfortable attending - then do not attend. Invent some good pretext, express sincere regrets, and try to compensate for it by spending the money you would otherwise have spent on the travel there, towards "wedding" gift enhancement.
I would write a nice note suggesting psychiatric counseling.

I would not go but look alternative ways of letting him know he is still family but you can't support what he is doing. Keep doors open for when he sees the light. Not sure how.
No.
I agree with you that marriage can only exist between a man and a woman.
No, I would not attend. I would send a present, though, and otherwise treat the folks nicely, unless provoked.
I would not go to the actual ceremony, but I would be willing to attend the reception to wish him well.
I would go. Since you have already made your views clear, there is no reason to "make a statement" by not going.
Perhaps as a compromise, if you could not stand to be at the wedding, you could miss the wedding and attend the reception. That should let him know that you "hate the sin, not the sinner."
"I invited my cousin and his significant other to our wedding."
Sounds like you should go.
Tough call.
The easy thing to do is go. The hard thing to do is to explain, with love, that to be present would be to put your stamp of approval on something you don't believe is appropriate.
Wish them well and stay in touch.
When it's family you're talking about, put politics to the side. It's not as if your attendance is going to sway the issue, one way or the other. If your objection is religious, then it's a different matter; don't go. Maybe you can split the difference and go to the reception only, to minimize any sort of family rift.
Your attendance at the "wedding" will show support and approval of the "marriage". I wouldn't do it, family or otherwise.
If you are close to your cousin, yes. While I am not in favor of Gay marriage, my personal relationships trump the issue.
Personally i think we have more important things to worry about.
I would not go because I would be uncomfortable, but would send a nice gift (= expensive, from Tiff's or somewhere they would like)to show affection. Your cousin is not going to change his sexual orientation because you made it clear to him that you disapprove, so sending little messages is pointless and nonproductive.
Would you go if he was about to profess his love and commit his life to a cocker spaniel?
