My best friend who i have known all my life had an engagement party at the local working mans club recently, I was well excited as we hadnt had a proper boogie together for ages. She'd booked a mobile disco so i was expecting the usual line up, YMCA, Ooops upside yer head, Agadoo and a liitle bit of Come on Eileen to bring everybody together, how bloody wrong could I be? Turns out she'd requested all this modern stuff, no birdie song, no !0cc to round the night off?? Who the hell is this James Blunt fella?? It was not beautiful at all i had a crap night and didnt get up to dance once, just sat with my Campari and soda all night.
Is it worth me going to the wedding or will that be as crap too?

You're not going to a reunion, you're going to a wedding. Weddings do generally revolve around the two people getting married. If you wanted to have a dance party circa 1988 you should have thrown her an engagement party or a bachelorette party. Otherwise you're a guest. And you're also her friend. If you haven't seen your friend in some time you probably aren't very close with your friends fiancee. The two of them have created a new life together with new music and less dancing. If you choose not to go to their wedding, that's your choice. But if you were invited to their wedding it's because they want you to be a part of their big day. So if ultimately you decide that Campari and soda and a room full of fresh faces sounds like a good time, talk to the DJ or the band. Suggest one or two of your old favorites. People will dance and no one can pass up a classic 80's tune, especially after a few of those Campari's you speak of.

I know that you had high hopes on this party but you need to realize that everyone changes. As long as your friendship with her hasn't change i dont think it matters what kind of music they play at the wedding what matters is that you are ther for your best friend on one of her most important day of her life. At the wedding sometimes the DJ will ask for a request on a favore song go and ask for the YMCA Song and get your friend to join in on the fun. Good luck.

There is no way you are talking about your best friend for two reasons
1 You would know her taste in music
2 You wouldn't consider not going to her wedding, no matter what
Anyway if you are her best friend why hasnt she asked you to be a bridesmaid or witness
Personally if I were you I would do her a favour and stay away from her wedding and let people who recognise it is her day attend and enjoy it with her
Guess you won't be voting this as the best answer - but you did ask the question

placed on besides the fact which you're asked to placed on. Take administration of "stag night" earlier somebody else does and save your superb bud a international of difficulty. make beneficial that the bride's brothers or another male buddies/relatives that she trusts are portion of the occasion, so as that the couple would not start up marriage along with your bud interior the doghouse. circulate to a severe end person night club for some drinks and enable the only fellows relish the prepare at the same time as the groom seems on in bemused superiority. do no longer enable absolutely everyone stress you into having a "inner maximum" occasion. Your #a million job to any extent further is to be a sturdy chum on your chum AND to his spouse.

Let me give you some advice - I had a small argument with my best friend which meant that I didn't go to her wedding. It was to prove some point or other, I can't remember what now. But the point is ..... it irretrievably damaged our friendship. We made up after the wedding but I had missed it and that could never be recovered. And, as time went on, she resented that and we were never as close again. Now we haven't seen each other for ten years and we only live a few miles away from each other.
So, think hard before you decide to miss her wedding. Will you miss her as a friend? I'd go if it were you - I don't think her choice of music is a good enough excuse to chuck a longstanding friendship down the drain.

Hopefully, you're joking. Thats no reason not to go This is what you do. Go to the wedding. When everyone gets bored of the music, whip out your cd collection. You'll be the life of the party, and make your best friend happy by going.
-Also, eat before in case the food is bad

The bigger question is why your best friend would want to even invite you if you are debating about your attendance at her wedding because of her song choices. Some friend you are.
Newsflash: You attend a friend's wedding to be part of this momentous occasion in her life, to share the joy, and give her joy by your presence. You do not attend your best friend's wedding in order to be entertained. If you are, that is a nice side effect, but entertaining guests is not the point of a wedding.
If your idea of a wedding is that you are entitled to hear and dance to only what you wish then you are a Guestzilla. Guestzillas SHOULD stay home and then later wonder why they are no longer friends with the bride.

So because you have been living under a rock and have not kept up with the music that is popular today, your friend should do the same? Really, it's her wedding not yours, if that is what SHE likes, stop feeling sorry for yourself and pretend you live in 2007:)

I think maybe you should stay in the past, living a dreamy life with the blue skies and the birds singing etc and forget your BEST EVER FRIEND. Go to the wedding donut, dance and be happy, stop sulking and grow up!!!

It's your best friend's wedding. Go to it. What kind of music is being played shouldn't deter you from going.
Plus, it would make you seem selfish if you didn't go because you don't like modern music. It could ruin your friendship.
At the reception for the wedding it is likely that they will play all the "regular" wedding reception songs.
