Let's name the best 'will not attend' response explanation...

'our 10 yr. old is in a basketball tournament that weekend'

ETA: they knew about this wedding almost a year before!

at least they responded????
I have a fear of several people not responding at all.

---

Well........she was 5 days late....my response cards were due August 1--and sadly, this is a friend I've know for many, many years........but its OK.....just wish she could've used something a bit more beleivable since she knew the date for over a year now........

---

I'm sorry! Hope i didn't upset you, its such a crazy response!

'we are getting back from vacation the day before.'

so I must ask W T F does the day before my wedding have to do with the day of my wedding?

That being said, I sent out STD's and received a call from my 'friend' that said - I'm sorry, I just don't see myself going there without a date and sitting by myself - I just won't enjoy it, and it's a WASTE of money!

---

Honestly, I know this is the same real reason she is not coming, and that is fine. I'd honestly be so much more OK w/ her saying she didnt have anyone to bring than to say she has tennis lessons.

Besides, she lives in Brooklyn, Im getting married in WAding River, its a hike. And I wouldnt expect her to go there alone.....but it just cracks me up....not only are you so freakin late w/ your response.......but thats the excuse you write??? Its just so un-real

---

I've gone to plenty of weddings SOLO or bought a friend with me (female & male) - it's a poor excuse to not attend a wedding for a close friend!

I'm from Brooklyn - can I come? I'll be her replacement!

p.s. No one in Brooklyn has tennis lessons...

---

LOL--Trust me...I know.....thats why I know she is such full of s&&T. And, yes, you most definitley can come--

Oooh ooh me me... well this is a pre-invite 'will not attend response' from FH's Uncle in Florida... ready for this?????


'I go hunting that week'

---

ya know what's sad? I can relate to this response. My Dad would totally not go to a wedding during the two weeks a year he could possibly shoot bambi. Hunting is an addiction-they get ready for season all year round.

---

I could have wrote that.. my dad to

mine was ' even though weve been friends for 10 years we havent seen each other much in the past couple of months..a wedding shouldnt be a place for friends to get together and connect..' ok so where do you do that?

---

W T F is that all about.

I would write back that if she thinks so little of the friendship then maybe never would be a better time to reconnect.

It would be horrible to be with friends on their wedding day , wouldn't it?

No kidding, guess that 10 years didn't mean anything to you.

People need to get over themselves. I had a good friend that I've had 10+ years tell me she couldn't come to a wedding-related event, so we were changing the date around HER. When we finally found a date that she didn't have a good excuse for, she just went with ' I don't think that's going work out for me.' Ummmm. Ok. .... I wasn't really shocked, but it still hurt my feelings.

i got one..... 'Sorry, Eric ( her 18 yr old son) doesnt have a suit ( and she is too cheap to go and buy one) so we will not be able to make it!!!

---

Seriously?!?! Does Eric have to come... but then she'd have trouble getting a sitter (for her 18 year old son). What do they do if they have a funeral to go to?!?!

Edited for spelling.

Im so confused.......

I'll go over and kill the parot!!! They could of told me they had another wedding or something!!!!!!

A friend of family that we have know for 28 years, has a parot and 2 dogs! Its like when you go on vaca and you have to get a dog sitter, but a parot for 5 hours, c'mon...that's a bit much for me to handle!
