LMMFAO this is hilarious for more reasons than one!!!
Well lemme ansa di thread and be nice
Actually I would cancel my trip and go to the wedding.. since its a tradition I am sure I will do it again next year.. skipping a tradition one year doesnt make it less of a tradition.. and I assume that my dear friend's marriage will be a one day one time thing.. a present wouldnt represent my presence on a day that is oh so not traditional.. Its sumthing special.. sumthing i wouldnt wanna miss for anything in the whole world.
in all honesty...if a good freind of mine missed my wedding....then she was not a good freind to begin with. its her SPECIAL DAY...
she has planned it with her sweetie and it could be that that was the only day that fit them BOTH perfectly.....why would you not change your plans this ONCE for her ONCE ina lifetime experine...
seems like you are being a little selfish and not a very good freind right now!

Secondly, I don't think you can expect a bride to take into account the "family traditions" of 200 people? I don't think that that's realistic. Wedding is about Bride, Groom, Family and Friends. Its about HER, and many people will make an effort to move plans to be there for her. The statement that you would "never give up Cabin/Son" time speaks volumes.
If she hasn't gotten back to you, I suspect that she's very busy. What is the tone of your emails to her?? You made the choice that you would never give up yearly "family time" for "friend time" (REALLY important friend time.....like.........ONCE in a lifetime friend time), so she's probably not rushing to forgive.
But.......time will heal and she will forgive and mend things. But for now its time for her to plan the special day!! I would imagine that your choice has stung her pretty badly.
Agreeing with this

Okay the story is (for everyone who's questioning me but I don't give a rat's ***) is this. For a whole year she was planning the wedding for a certain day that was NOT this holiday weekend....and we have SEVERAL long weekends in the summer and this is the ONLY one we can go to the cabin. Then I got her invitation in the mail and she'd switched the date to that particular long weekend.
Also note this is a girl whom I've known for 20 years yes, but only talk to every few months. We're not BEST friends, we're not lovers, she wasn't even my first choice when I won that trip to Jamaica!
RELAX!
Anyways, I would never feel guilty, bad nor regretful for wanting to spend time with my son. And if I recall correctly some people on here have chastized me for NOT doing that sometimes. Make up your minds.
Nevermind about the part where I said she's planning her wedding. I thought that this issue was coming in the future, not last year!!!. Never got back to you at all, huh? Well, I guess it really stung! I still think that the ball is in your court. Are you mad at her? Are your emails to her nice or not??

They're just "hey whats up" emails. One was asking to get together and see her wedding pics and stuff.

Okay.....thats all.
U get if offah yuh chest now.....lol
Well i did say that I would've went...but then again it would depend on the depth of my friendship with the person.
More than likely I would go...seeing that this invite is just a once a while thing...maybe i would see if I could bring my child too...
I don;t thin u should be chastized for anything IF anyone was doing so...family comes first any way you look at it....but in going I don;t think that, that is saying that you are putting something else in front of your family. It;s not like you are always putting your vacation wiht your son on the back burner ALLL the time...this would have been just once.
