ChrisL 2 #26 May 16, 2005 Quote Go to the wedding bro, i can't tell you how pleased your lady will be, plus you'll score MAJOR points. Why is everyone always trying to score points with their SO? This is so I can fuck up some time down the road and get a "get out of doghouse free" card? Bah. Love me for who I am or find someone else more suitable. Points shmoints.

livendive 8 #27 May 16, 2005 QuoteA wedding is more important than a weekend of partying that you can do any other weekend. Or maybe I'm the only one who gives a shit about that kind of stuff. Well, the wedding of my own family member or close friend would be important enough to blow off an event that happens every year. In this case though, it's his girlfriend's sister, not his. In such a situation, my decision would depend on a) how important it is to my girlfriend that I go with her and b) how important the girlfriend is to me (just dating? or serious potential?). I hate going to the weddings of people that I don't know or barely know. Sometimes it's a necessary evil, but not always. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

2fat2fly 0 #28 May 16, 2005 QuoteWeddings are a waste of time for everyone but the Bride and Groom. I for one really appreciated the friends and family that attended my wedding. If you were getting married I would make every effort to be there........as long as you had it at the DZ after the beer light came onI am not the man. But the man knows my name...and he's worried Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildblue 7 #29 May 16, 2005 QuoteI would never, ever, EVER schedule something like that for a weekend when next-to NOBODY really wants to be there. Since it's your girlfriend's sister's wedding, I'd go if it's important to your girlfriend. linz Maybe that was their intend - to save $$ on the catering it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunshine 2 #30 May 16, 2005 I think scheduling weddings on holiday weekends is silly. A lot of people have annual plans for certain holidays. I would skip the wedding and do the camping thing. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladyskydiver 0 #31 May 16, 2005 How important is it to your girlfriend that you go? How important is your girlfriend to you? If your girlfriend doesn't care if you go or if your girlfriend isn't important to you...go camping. Otherwise, go to the wedding.Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now if the wedding happened to fall on a date where Rich had a tradition of going camping with his buddies, and that was really important to him, I would most likely respect his decision to miss the wedding...
