    Just had a wedding invite from the mrs. One of her friends getting hitched. Lovely gesture, but happening on Sat 10th August!!

    Option 1 - happily oblige and miss the season opener?
    Option 2 - decline the day do and just go for the reception?
    Option 3 - decline the whole thing?

    Some people just have consideration!

    Accept it and hope we start away.

    Few seasons ago we played Bradford at home and I was invited to my partner's friend's wedding. Reception was at 1pm at the Metrodome so went to that and legged it at quarter to 3. Apparently the bride wasn't too impressed!

    That's alot of thought for just a mate of the mrs when in 2002 I was annoyed at having to miss our August home game against QPR because my bloody inconsiderate sister picked that day to marry, with no thought at all for the waste of a game from the season ticket......

    Really oddly, I don't remember that QPR game but I must have been there as I pretty much didn't miss a game that season. Even more odd is that having looked through the results, I reckon there are six games I can properly recall, all of them except Cardiff home being dour draws or traumatic defeats. Oh, and the Brentford game of course. I wonder if I have actually erased that season from my mind for the sake of my mental health, or whether the scarcity of my memories is more connected to the amount of time I was spending in the trance and techno clubs of the north and Midlands in those days. Probably a combination of the two.

    Option 4 - Anonymously start rumours that the groom to be has been shagging one of the bridesmaids. Wedding gets cancelled. You get to go to footy and don't look bad turning them down.

    Win win. Except for them of course

    That is an ethical dilemma, not a moral one.

    All I can say is football clubs are forever, marriage is just for Christmas.
