almost 2 years ago i was invited by my girlfriend to attend her sisters wedding. the rehersal was nice, the wedding was beautiful. then came the reception. after the couple got hitched, i asked the one brother of the bride n sister if there was a gas station around. when he gave me the directions i said 'im going to get gas, ill be right back'. and when i returned, everybody was gone. i frantically drove up and down the road and to the town the party was at. i had no luck of finding the place and decided to go back to my dorm the next morning i went to my girlfriends house and let myself in. she walked in and i explained everything to her and she forgave me then and still held it inside of her until a few months ago. i called the parents house since my stuff i had on the other day was there, telling them who i was, where i was at and what i was planning on doing. when i took my girl to work i drove to her parents house and had a 'nice' talk with the dad. now, should dad get over it

You left a wedding to go get gas????? It couldn't have waited? Obviously, that was a very stupid decision.
As far as the dad goes, you've apologized and told your side of the story. That's all you can do. If he doesn't decide to forgive you for being so insensitive, then it's his problem. Your girlfriend is the only one you really need to please. If you mean girlfriend as in significant other, then perhaps this is part of the reason - he may not respect that his daughter is gay and is looking for an excuse not to like you. The best that you can do is treat your girlfriend right, get your priorities in gear and try to be a little more sensitive any situation, and always be polite and civil to him. Perhaps he will come around and in 15 years it will be a funny family memory. Good luck to you.

OK, your question is very confusing, you'll find you get better answers if you word things just a wee bit better. It sounds like you left after the wedding ceremony to get gasoline in your car (don't know why that couldn't have waited, but whatever), and got lost and couldn't find the reception location. I don't know why you didn't have a map or the invite in your car, so that even if you had gotten lost, all you would've had to do is pull over and ask someone, but it sounds like you had no idea where the reception was being held at. Sounds like you did a terrible job of planning. Your friend and her family were upset with you for leaving, right? And if it was a sit down dinner, they had every right to, because they paid for your dinner, that you weren't there to eat. You apologized to them NICELY, right? Explained in calm, rational tones what had happened, right? Maybe even offered to repay them the cost of your meal? But the dad's still upset about it, right? If that's the case, then dad needs to get over it. I mean, geez, it's been 2 years, talk about holding a grudge.

Have you considered that it's not about you leaving the wedding it's about his daughter being gay?

I agree, that was a very poor decision.
