How many times have you refused to attend a cousin’s wedding on the pretext of a Lab or internal test? Me? I’ve lost count. I never considered it a big deal, missing someone’s wedding or a house warming ceremony, until the day of my own wedding reception and the poor turnout on the occasion. Until the D-day, all that matters is the fact that you are getting married to the person you love, you don’t give a damn who makes it or who does not. But come wedding day, an empty wedding hall is depressing and the absentees unpardonable. And mind you, even the ones with the poorest of poor memories will remember if or not you were present on their wedding day. So, there’s no escaping!
Ok why all this? I just missed a classmate’s wedding due to negligence. (Actually my dad’s PC that refuses to open attachments)
But I’m making up to her by meeting her shortly. You do too if it’s happened with you. J

I had a missed a few myself. But sometimes I can't find enuf enthu to pull myself to the wedding of a not so close friend/cousin.
When I had missed a couple of marriages of my colleagues, there were few who said that I lack social ettiquette !! But then the reason why I had to miss them is only known to me :o)))
However, never have I missed a relatives or cousins wedding...
And am sure it does not feel good to not have too many of friends not turn up... And that's what I foresee is gonna happen in my wedding :o)
Somu: Good that u r prepared, u'll have no rude shocks on the wedding day! :-) Wish I was too!
Murali: You can? Was CAT the next day? yes? You can.
Just about time... and I was about to change the link to your blog as "Gowri writes... no more"
Good to see you back.
And as for the post, I know! Missed the same classmate's wedding too. And am too embarrassed now to say sorry et al.
thanks for the insight. something not easily learnt :)
Shom: Just in time; eh? :-)
The talkitive man: I so like the old paper invitations. It was much easier to remember and cross check wedding dates and timings with them handy at home. With everyone sending e-invitations to official email-ids, one's more likely to miss a weekend function. What do u think?
Gowri, I feel like I wrote this post! I know EXACTLY what you mean. For weeks, I felt so bitter about how some of my good friends did not make it for some stupid reason or the other. I mean, I can understand if there's a good reason, but this is the biggest day of your life!! On the contrary, I feel so incredibly good about my friends who were with me throughout! :) Good memories!! :)
And now, I try as hard as I can to attend every single wedding I am invited to. Guess you need to have been there and done that to realize how it feels!
Vaish: "You need to have been there and done that to realize how it feels!" - Exactly!
