if you were invited to your cousins wedding, that recently moved out of state, is 8 years younger than, you have mich. vs. msu football game tickets on the same day.
Would you:
1. go to the wedding?
2. go to game?
3. go to first part of game leave and show up at reception at 9pm?
4. go to wedding at church and then show up at game a little late?

I'm not that close to my cousin. I do see her at family functions, but we really don't talk. We just have nothing to say. She is nice though. My family does expect me to show... I'm 32 and I don't like to be told what to do.

These tickets are hard to get and my husband's parents are going to the game. A guy at work goes out of his way to get us tickets... I don't want to disappoint him either. He will be at game. He is a nice guy too.

Go to the game. Spend time with your husband who is the most important person in your life.
Send her a card to congratulate her. She's your cousin and you are not close to her..........that's a good reason for not going. Even if you go, your relationship with her won't grow closer and I don't see any point in attending her wedding. As long as your parents (and maybe other siblings) show up it should be good enough.

How close are you to this cousin? How disappointed would your family be if you didn't show up? There are always more games, but how many weddings does your cousin plan to have? Most likely, just 1.

Go to the wedding and leave after you have said good luck to both of them, then drive like heck to the game. Both teams always play better after half-time anyway. Now you have made your family happy and you get to have some fun too.
Just watch out for flying bouquets!

If it were my family, I'd choose game. It all depends on how tight your family is. There is risk in trying to do both. You may get too sucked into one and not make the other. Take a long walk and put yourself in the "after" shoes. How will you feel with each of these choices. You'll figure ot out.

If it is a cousin that you are very close to , then your choice is simple --GO TO THE WEDDING. However, if you are not very close to this cousin then go to the game first, then go to the reception and be sure to give the bride and groom a great gift.

Depends on how close you are to your cousin. If you're close, you go to the wedding, period. If not, you at least go to some part of it either before or after the game.

Go to the game. Lie and say you have work commitment and if you do not go you will get fired. If you are not that close she should not care. Plus it is MSU v UM. Those tickets are hard as hell to get.

Do you care about your cousin? If so then 1. go to the wedding.

you should go to the first part of the game, and then show up to the reception, no one would notice your not at the church anyways.
