to a football game( Mich. vs. Mich. State game). Without hurting her feelings.
We aren't that close...just neutral.

Well you don't have to mention that it's a football game though I'm sure most people would completely understand. I guess etiquette requires you say you regretably will not be going because something of extreme importance came up that you can not miss. Sorry and maybe a gift...

You can't tell her without hurting her feelings. Man up and go to the wedding, as you already committed. Now if you want to do the wrong thing and go to the game then tell your cousin that you won't be able to attend and you are very sorry for it. Don't tell her why, but tell her NOW, and send them a good gift to make up for your poor excuse of not going.

If you aren't that close, just tell her something has come up and you have to work (if you have a job) or have to work on a project (if you are in school). She will think you are a jerk if you tell her the truth especially if you already said you would go.
Personally, I would definitely go to the game.

Ooh, that's harsh. If you said you were going to her wedding, then go.
How'd you feel if the roles were reversed, and someone you invited told you they'd rather attend a football game than your wedding?
Football games are played all the time.
Relatives getting married are not all the time.
It's supposed to be a blessed event. So, honor your word, attend.
Go to another game, someother time.

Tell her you have a phobia about weddings. And if she gets nasty about it, just say, you probably will get divorced anyway, so don't waste my time!
I blew off my nephews wedding in the late 80's because I don't miss Bear's games, you had better be on your deathbed. They were a little angry with me. But so what, he got divorced anyway. He was only 20 or so, what a waste of time. His marriage is long over, and the Bears and me are still here!
So the hell with your cousin, life is too short to miss good football games!

She might be a bit upset that you chose a football game
over her wedding. I would just tell her, I am unable to come
to your wedding, but I wish you the best. If you are not that close
she should not be offended. You really don't have to give her
reasons. Just remember, tho if you aren't yet married, don't be
offended if she misses your wedding. Do you care?

You can't.
If you told her you're going, then you are committed.
There's no way to tell someone that a game (games happen all the time and are of no real consequence in life) is more important to you that a huge milestone in her life without hurting her feelings.
Go to the wedding; you'll survive.
