NSC Help Appreciated! Need an excuse to get out of attending my sister's wedding...

[little al]

And its not your fault anyway that your respective parents split up, you already have the moral high ground in that her future family are retards.

 

[Billy the Fish]

Go to the wedding, you've got to show up in some capacity, I'm sure you'll regret it if you don't.

Speak to your sister and see what she thinks.

Speak to your sister and see what she thinks.

Just spoke to my other half and my ma-in-law and they both agree ^ is the best way to go. See how much your sis needs you. I guess she really does.

It looks like all this Christmas food is going to have to give you a stomach upset and a case of the old two bob bits, my friend.

For three months?!?!?!?!

Do a Stephen Ireland - tell her your granny died

Go mate, be on your best behaviour, don't get pissed, be polite even if provoked, you will win them over and your sister will love you for it. Simple. Chance to be an absolute winner on this ocassion, unlike watching the Albion!

 

[king Wombat]

Its your sister ffs, its quite important that you go.
Go for her, don't get pissed, if you can take a mate or girlfriend then do, go to the ceremony, if theres a meal ask your sister to put you on a table with people that you're likely to get on with rather than her family..

Stay for as long as you can, although if anyone does start to get arsey, just leave.
You never know, you might enjoy it and you might even get on with some members of her family, but if you don;t go then you will regret it.

We're missing the biggest reason for going here...weddings have lots of birds looking totally hot and getting pissed..
Only one outcome..

You could always use the excuse that my brother gave for failing to turn up at mine. "The windscreen wipers broke".

It helps if it's raining on the day, of course.

 

[The Ringleader]

If you don't go her family (who sound like cunts) get what they want...

 

[little al]

There is a lot off advice on this thread, and they all point in the same direction.

Your call now.

 

[looney]

Go along and explain to anyone who gets iffy what you posted at the beginning of this thread, if they wont accept it tell them you can understand why your father left if they are so unreasonable, then give as much shit as you get.

Or explain this to her step-father and ask him to make sure his relatives get a clue.

Btw This is what I would probably do and its probably best you choose a different strategy.

My sister has set her wedding date for Sat 27th March, when we are at home to Tranmere Rovers.
Bit complicated, basically we have the same dad but different mothers, our dad left her mum to be with mine and as a a product of him my sister's mum's family hate me.
I can't tell my sister, i don't want to spend £50 to go to Reading and sit in a church, and reception with 70 odd people who all hate me just because of who me dad is, it's not worth the hassle and arguments, yet i can't really say i would much rather watch Tranmere Rovers at home, need a happy medium!

If you so please.....

Balls it out at the wedding....you're not there for her family, you are there for your sister. If she didn't want you there she wouldn't have invited you. Its the right thing to do.

 

[looney]

Oh and if you dont go then the evil relatives will say the acorn doesn't fall far from the tree as youve copped out of your responsibility to your sister in the way that would be compared by them to your fathers behaviour.

your in a right bind but you just got to go imo.

I know i should and i want to. It's not a case of I'd rather be at the football that day ( although i did point out she is stupid for arranging a wedding in the football season grrr), just her mum's family never met, me, but completely dislike me and are very open about it and there is quite the bad element in some of them.
I want to be there for my sister, but the chance of them doing something that could ruin her big day are quite high if I'm there, especially once they have started drinking, and i really don't want her big day ruined.

You are making up a whole lot of story, calling up some hypothetical stuff about how the big day could be ruined, to potentially justify you not being there.

The day is not about you. It's about your sister and she wants you to be there.

If your sister's mum's family have got something against you because of the circumstances with your father, there is a conversation to be had about you not really having any say in the circumstances in which you were born, and the sadness you feel for not being accepted because of the actions of your father, which are unrelated to the actions of you.

There are other opportunities to watch the Albion play hoofball next month. This may be your only chance in your life to ever see your sister getting married.

take a tip from Eastenders & say you can't go because you're in love with the groom.
