Getting out of a wedding

[Dorkus]

How far down the family tree is it before you can say "screw it I am not going, it is opening weekend" or "its a big game" or "I just don't want to"?

Specifically for my friend and it is his son's brother in law who is getting married this fall.

My vote is anyone who gets married in the fall should be kicked out of the family. I mean, it is hunting and football season.

The wedding party can't divorce him. What does he have to lose?

Does he hang out with said sons BIL? if not, Go hunt and watch football. Weddings are for immediate family and close friends....

Just my 2 cents and I know it’s not worth much. But since you are even asking you probably don’t need to go. If it was someone in your inner circle or you highly respected you would have just went..

Be sure to mention how badly your sock drawer needs reorganizing on that date. That’s a sure fire, proven acceptable reason.

Just reply, “Maybe next time”.

Why do some pick a holiday? It ruins everyone's holiday except the wedding party.
Edit: I do like the weddings where the brides parents hand you plane tickets and accommodations to a wedding in Vegas. Happened to us once.

Heck i wouldnt have went to my own wedding if it wasnt for being in my own house. So if you dont want to go dont go no one is holding a gun to your head forcing you to go, Ive made enemies with family members over less.

Get one of those home covid tests. Chances are 50/50 it'll come up positive. Keep trying until you get one.

Depends - are you single? Could get lucky at the reception
