Getting out of a Wedding

DB, why not just tell them that you had an affair with the groom's [father, mother, your pick] and that it would be too embarrassing to attend. After all, you have problems controlling your mouth after a few drinks and what you have to say might just cause a breakup in the newly extended family.

I thought we ruled out "Man up and tell the truth" already.

Why is it such a big deal to miss a wedding? Most are boring as hell, serve shitty food and you're forced to spend a day with a crowd of people you would never voluntarily hang out with. Your cousin sounds young and self-absorbed - it would do her good if you didn't go so she could realize that all of her family and friends can't put their life on hold just for her.

Years from now you'll still remember the Ohio State/USC game experience and will have forgotten about this lame wedding. So go to the game and forget about how your family will react. Besides, statistically speaking her marriage has a good chance of ending in divorce anyway so you really wouldn't have missed out on anything significant.

I'm noticing that it's been about 24 hours and I've still not received even an offer for compensation for keeping your family out of the loop. I will go shetuck on you and before you know it, the ONLY thing left for you will be going to the game in shame because the family WILL know about it.

...not that this is a threat or anything. Seriously, I'm just broke.

You have warrants in North Carolina. You can't ever go back there.

This is entirely possible and quite likely plausible.

Yeah, but every black man that's ever been to, or will over go through North Carolina (or most of the south for that matter) has a "warrant" out on them. So that's just not a valid excuse.

I think the business deal excuse is really your best bet.

Gotta agree with this advice. Out-of-state wedding for an extended family member, on a Buckeye football gameday? If you're old enough to get your own invitation, you're old enough to decide for yourself whether to pass on this one. Families get upset about petty things like this, but they get over it too.

Tell her you have tickets for a Fall Out Boy concert that evening. Look, there are some bands where it just needs to be understood that all other events take a back seat to seeing a live show. An Eagles or Led Zeppelin reunion for instance ... or the Boss.

Fall Out Boy, clearly, is in that upper echelon too, and I think she'd understand.
