How does everyone have so many weddings that you don't have to take time off for? I have never been to an in-town wedding. I have never not had to take time off to go to a wedding. Never.
Actually, we went to one that was only 2 hours away by car once. But we still had to take time off because Brad was in the wedding so we had to do that rehearsal dinner thing the night before.
Am I the odd one here? I never knew so many other people could just hop in their cars and call it a day.
I agree with everything that muddled said. You should listen to her. -ESDReturns

I have only been to three wedding. I was only in one, but I was 10. They have all been fairly local, never had to take time off.
People I know just don't get married, I guess.
lately most weddings have been local (no more then a 2 hour drive)
I do have to travel for a wedding in sept, my daughter is in the wedding and there is no convient way to fly up there so we are driving up on thursday (8 hours) the rehersal is friday at noon (though that was a strange time) and then wedding is on saturday and there is a brunch on sunday for the wedding party which we are invtied to but skipping so we can get back on the road and get home.
My wedding was the second one I had ever attended. I've been to one or two since. H and I skipped one this fall that was taking place at West Point after we realized it would cost us well over $1000 to attend.
A bunch of our friends are already married. Of those that aren't, several are engaged, and none of our siblings are married (all are younger and there are five b/w H and I) so I think we'll hit our wedding peak in the next few years...we'll have to travel for any/all family weddings.
I'm not helping here, am I?
Just your mere presence is a help.
Your day will come, Grasshopper. Don't you worry.
I've never had to fly to attend a wedding and I go to most of the weddings I'm invited to. I have a cousin that got married in Hawaii and we did not attend that wedding. His wife's family lives in Hawaii (she also grew up there), so it wasn't really a destination wedding, I suppose.
I live in the town I grew up in and all of my family that I speak to are within an hour of where I live (most are a 15 min or less drive). FI's family is a 2-3 hr drive away and most of them are married, so there's only been one wedding to attend on his side since we've known each other. My friends are all around here too.
I know, but all the dresses I own (half of which have tags on them!) might not be as cute by then! Stop living in sin and get married already people!
Hmmmm.... I could take your cute cute dresses to a wedding this year.
