Shall we see Indy together?

This has put me in quite a quandry (not the trailer for Gunga Din), but the fact that I'd rather go to a movie I'll have already seen twice with a bunch of friends than go to the WEDDING of some kind acquaintances ... and that I'm hoping for a way to ditch the reception after the ceremony.

I feel so creepy for this, and now I know I won't be entirely happy no matter what happens or what I do.

Bah.

If they forgot to mail you the invite, what are the chances they "forgot" and not forgot? If they are just acquaintances, and not good friends who decided to run away and get married on that day (and if they planned a reception it doesn't sound that this is the case) I'd tell them you have plans and you wish them all the best.

It speaks volumes that you'd rather go see the movie (that you've seen twice) then see the marriage.

No, see I think the actual marriage, which is less fun for the guests, is quite important, sacred, and significant. I really care for these people, and want to attend their WEDDING ... but don't care all that much about the reception, even though it would give me a chance to have fun with some people I don't see enough of anymore.


Sigh, once I get the invite and find out the where and when of things, I'll know more. But I already know I will not be entirely pleased with any choice I make.

That makes complete sense. The phrasing in your original posting led to mine.

Glad everything is going to work out!
