The partner would understand but once again though it will be her having to do the dirty work and talk to friend etc, explain it to every on the day why i pulled out, deal with those at the wedding who think im doing the wrong thing.
Guess im a bit gun shy after missing a separate bucks show last week and copping a few sprays on facebook from people that dont even know me about my priorities etc (**** being an elite sportsmen/celebrity who has to deal with that stuff week in / week out.
Definitely feel like im letting the lads down though. No wonder ive become a bit of a recluse in recent time....much easier.

Sounds to me like you're over playing your importance in the ceremony part of the day, nobody will notice you're not there and when Mrs Whuffer tells them you're playing a cricket final they'll be keen to hear how you went later that night.

Wasn't a fun shift at work last night finding that out 5 minutes before I started.
Nearing 50 makes me sad, so many more funerals than weddings or births.

Was kept on life support for 3 days to assess whether his liver would be suitable for donation and passed away last night.
I love the fact we can donate organs these days but it must be hard on the family having people's bodies kept alive extra days to help the process.
