Hmmm . . . I think I would have gone ahead and invited the grandparents -- it's hot_pastrami and his bride's wedding day, not his parents' vacation, even if they'd like it to be. Regardless of who's footing the bill (and it sounds like the bride and groom are), the couple get to decide who'll be there, or, at the very least, who is invited.
Hope the parents don't have this much say over other aspects of this marriage, like how many kids to have, and when.
Best wishes, h_p, to you and your intended, and good luck with the parents!
