I graduate the end of April, and was planning to head straight on my backpacking trip through Europe. Should I stick around for an extra month just to attend my cousin's wedding?

I'm not sure if I will find work during that month so I may just be sitting around anxiously waiting for the wedding so I can start my trip....
 
How close are you to your cousin?

In my family, my presence wouldn't be missed too badly. Especially with such a valid excuse as backpacking through Europe.
If it were me, I'd ditch the wedding--send them a gift and a congratulatory card, and be on your way.
 
Remember, an invitation is not an obligation. Think about how close is your cousin? I have one cousin that I'd put my life on hold for, but for the rest I would just send a card and a gift.
