Did you ever miss a wedding party for some reason?

I have missed many of my cousins weddings. I have over 75 first and second cousins. It was just be impossible for me to attend them all. Plus, almost all of them live at least two hours away.

Morning williamjisir. That's ashame you will have to miss the wedding but I do understand. Sometimes it's not possible to get away. We did miss one of my husband's employee's wedding in Oct. We felt bad but there were a couple of things happening the same day/night and we just couldn't attend. We tried to work things out so we could do everything that evening but it just didn't work. A gift was sent so at least they know we remembered and cared. Take care, carolbee.

Perhaps I haven't experienced to miss a wedding party that I like to join. Since your nephew's wedding was already planned, so it was too difficult to change the schedule. As you know, there were many guests and it was not possible to find a perfect date that suited everyone.

William, two months ago i didn't attend one of my faraway nephew's wedding. Because they are living very faraway from us and my hubby can't take leave at that time. Besides that, my son is still attending exam at that time. So, we just send wedding gift and give them a call at that time. I hope they won't feel disappointed because we are unable to attend their wedding. Hope your that nephew don't feel disappointed since your wife able to attend on behalf of you.

Wedding is one of the most memorable event that we really feel bad to miss. I also missed my brother's wedding and really feel bad about it. I was so sick that we cannot travel- no matter how I really want to be there, but I can't Wish your nephew all the best

I miss my friend wedding party last month for some reason.I can't go there because i have lots of works to do.I call him for sorry,and he understand about that.But if my close family wedding party,i will try to come.

I have missed many marriages due to unavailability of leave. At times I feel by doing a job you really become a servant and at times if you want to attend a function you ar unable to do so. But the salary stops you for leaving to be a servant.Recently there is a marriage in the family but I have to attend a presentation which will provide funding for my work. so this is life.

I'm sorry you can't make the wedding of your nephew. It's sad when we live far from our loved ones and can't make it to important events like this. I didn't get to go to my daughters wedding for the same reason. She lived in California and I was here in MA and couldn't afford to fly there.

several occasions i missed wedding parties due to not availability of tickets and leave. i missed even wedding of my closed friends and relatives.

Williams Right now i have 7 invitation cards lying on my table, 3 are for wedding in my city, one from the city where i taught last, the groom is son of ex-student of mine one is from Iowa in USA and one from Philippines, one from KL. I will attend the local ones and that one 60kms away too. For abroad i have sent gifts already, will call on the wedding day,

I only go to a party, no matter if it's a wedding party or not, if I feel well enough and I want to be at that party as well. I don't like to sit/be in between people I do not like or know at all.

yes many times i miss wedding parties, if the person is not really close or i am not interested to visit the party. But i feel its a must to visit the relatives parties as they are important .

Hi williamjisir, yeah normally if the wedding is held overseas and requires a flight to be there, surely i will miss it. This is because i wouldn't be able to apply such leave off if i am working. So, i understand how you feel. Sorry to hear that wouldn't be able to attend the wedding. But i am sure they would understand, and have received your blessing for them. =)

my best friend are getting married on this December , but unfortunately i could't attend , due to a situation that isn't possible , because there is a great family event which coincided with the celebration. So later I can only congratulate and apologize to her that i couln't attend her wedding party and her reception

Yes, I've missed a couple of weddings before. One that I missed was on my husband's side. His uncle was getting married again (his last wife had passed on). My husband and I were fairly new parents at that time and did not want to leave our baby with someone else, nor did we want to bring a baby to a wedding. Plus, it was a bit of a distance to drive...not something we wanted to subject our baby to. So, we didn't go. Another time was a few years ago. This time it was on my side of the family (a cousin of mine had a daughter who was getting married). Although I don't know this cousin or her daughter very well, it was near my home (about 10 miles away), so I wanted to go...just so I could see them and the rest of the family. However, my car (AKA the family car) was in need of repair. The only drivable vehicle was my husband's work truck. It was a single cab which meant I would have had to go alone...either that, or take one of my kids with me. I didn't want to do either. I wanted to be able to go as a whole family. Since that was out of the question I didn't go at all.

I'm sorry you don't get to go. But you know like you said you can only do what you can do with the time off your employer allows. I hope if anything you send them a nice gift in place of your presence. I don't get invited to weddings too often and the last one I wanted to miss totally but I also had to work but hubby insisted I go to the reception.

I missed one of my cousins weddings. They held it on a saturday morning on a long weekend however i was unable to get the friday off to travel to where they were getting married. I felt bad for missing it but they understood...and my mom and sisters attended.

Hiya William, Missed the Weddings of my Nieces as we live so far apart is the main reason and they are not much into being online or even letter writing either. So I missed their Weddings and a few other Weddings too in part again through lack of contact. They are my closest Family as well but its enough for me to know that they are all well and I now have a lot more little nieces. Congrats to their Wedding pity you could not make it over there.xxx
