I said i would go to a wedding of someone I hardly know - this means I give up my Saturday with my husband to spend a whole day with a group of people I do not know. What can I say to get out of the wedding, bearing in mind they have paid for my seat/food etc.

Show me your hands.
Yup, thats a very nasty rash you have there. Have you been out walking in the countryside. I thought as much.
I'm going to give you this cream and I want you to apply it twice daily for the next 5 days, and stay away from young children, as it's much more serious if they come into contact with it.
If it hasn't started to clear by Monday come back and see me again. Wedding this weekend ? Oh dear lord no! Certainly not.

Hi well, the only thing you can to is tell the bride you cannot attend. I dont think she will ask why as you say you dont really know her. But pay for your part of the meal and your seat as that is the least you can do as they have planned it and you shouldnt of really said you will go. Or you can make an excuse on the day before the wedding that you have a stomach bug that has been going round the family and you cant make it. . But i hope people dont do this at my wedding as i would rather people be honest than not turn up. especially if the meal is very expensive as most ones at weddings are now.

Did it come with an RSVP card Just send it back and say no You could send a gift if you want You can stay a night at an hotel You do not need to give a reason for RSVP cards, that is why they send them I had my wedding on a Friday night, knowing some people who could make the wedding on a Saturday could not make the wedding on Friday. If you are having a Friday night wedding, not getting off work is fine for a reason if ask. I bet you would not be ask for 3 hours away on a Friday

If they have already paid for your seat/food its only good manners for you to call them NOW and tell them you`re unable to go to the wedding so they can invite someone else to fill your place and not leave it to the last minute and just not turn up. All the seating arrangements and everything may well be disrupted if someone doesnt turn up...I know this my daughter has just got married and she was worried about this very thing happening...which it did. She wasn`t bothered about the person not turning up it was them that missed a fabulous day but that she could of invited someone who would have loved to be there! Be polite and gratious and cancel now no silly excuses just honesty is needed.

This is funny, I am in a similar situation just not 'this' weekend!
A last minute plumbing emergency should do the trick! The 'header tank' .... whatever that is started leaking, ... didn't notice till hubby had gone to the football match, I am awaiting an emergency plumber ..... etc etc (phone someone like 30 mins before the ceremony starts, the grooms brother or something??) Afterwards you can say how your outfit got ruined and it cost a fortune to fix and your hubby wasn't very sympathetic and you didn't feel like spreading your misery to them after all that??
I know someone who used grit in their eye as an excuse so your plumber experience should be a goer, just hope they dont read yahoo answers??

There are steps you can take to actually build a strong, stable marriage and avoid divorce. Read here https://tr.im/Czsoi
Here are some key steps to apply to your marriage:
- Start by understanding and being informed.
You can never be too informed about tools, methods and studies about building successful marriages. Understand the risk factors like your age and maturity at marriage can determine how successful it will be, the anatomy of an affair and what you can do after infidelity. Understand the success factors like the personal and psychological circumstances that will influence your marriage, what are the tools and approaches available to you in dealing with conflict, and numerous other relevant data. All this information is readily available to you whether through self-help material, through a counselor, support group or other venues. In fact, we have made it our commitment to provide these to you in different formats to help you make the best marriage you can.
The thing is, remember, this is information is not available for you to begin hyper-psychoanalyzing your relationship, yourself and your partner. It's not a matter of spewing trivia for the sake of conversation ' information is there for you to ponder over and internalize to help you transform yourself and your marriage. That includes maturing to such a point that you become more competent in your knowledge but more prudent in approach.

Last time I had this problem I blamed work. A last minute emergency call. If this does not apply to you ...food poisoning is always second best. Everybody had it sometime in their life and you wouldn't want to ruin somebody's shoes...or dress for that matter. Good luck !
And have a great night in with your husband! You shouldn't go without him to a wedding anyway. And you can even blame it on him! :)

I agree with Miss Kitty. A nice card with something from where they are registered would be nice a nice thought. If you were asked about it, you can just say , " I wish I could have been there to share your special day with you but I had a family emergency which needed my immediate attention. I apologize ! Did you get my card and gift though? I wanted to make sure you had it even though I couldn't be there !" you could always ask to see pictures taken there when they're ready .. that would be a nice gesture.

Let them know as soon as possible - they can probably let the caterer know if you are quick. When I got married people were calling to cancel right up till the day itself. We wanted a small wedding and started with just 35 guests and we ended up with 17 people there, including us. Wish I hadn't turned up either!

I don't understand why they would invite you and not your husband.
Feign a migraine or something like that - but make sure you have a gift. Two freind of mine didn't turn up at my wedding. One I was pretty sure was genuine because he sent a gift later - the other never even sent a card.
