Make me feel like I'm not an ***...
Okay, so one of my close friends from growing up (elementary - high school) is getting married next weekend. She is SUCH a great person, and she was born with eye sight problems (she was supposed to be blind by the time she was 16, but can still see well enough to drive during the day). She is the most deserving person of happiness I know. Well, I was completely planning on attending her wedding, but I just found out that Jeff's sister is coming to visit us from Texas that weekend. It is his only sister, and she and I are very close (she was my MOH). So, since they are traveling 11+ hours each way to come see us, there is NO way I can leave for the whole day. The wedding is 4 hours (each way) away, so I just can't swing it. Help me to not feel like the worst friend in the world!!!

Re: Make me feel like I'm not an ***...
These things happen, I think the sooner that you let your friend know that you can't make it the better. Maybe she hasn't given her guarantee to the venue yet? I know when people backed out of my wedding the more notice they gave the less PO'ed I was. I had a few people just not show up which sucked a looooot.
How long is Jeff's sister in town for?
Just talk to you friend and tell her the circumstances, I am sure she will understand.
Wouldn't you be the worst SIL in the world if you left?
Kidding! But honestly, I think it's okay. She's far enough away from the wedding date that if you tell her today she will be able to re-do her final headcount (if she's even given it) and not have to pay for your plate. It sounds like she's a pretty understanding person, and will totally get it that an unexpected family event came up that you just can't miss.
And send a nice gift!
Luckily, around here, most people don't have to give a true final head count because most weddings are buffet style. I have already bought the gift and sent it to her directly this morning with a nice note.
Jeff's sister is only going to be here for a few days. If it was a week, that would be different. I just feel bad for not being there for her. But, like you ladies said, these things happen. I just can't believe the timing!!!
