    I feel like this thread is about "shocking" people.

    I would change your party to another date. Just easier.
    And as far as the time off people request.

    It's pretty easy to say "hey, turns out they changed the date. Can I have _________ off instead"

    I am honestly thinking of it.

    Theirs is once in a life time.

    And I really care about them both.

    Maybe I can just push mine into a night time event.

    Is 8pm too late to start?

    unless she invited you after the fact in an effort to get you to change your event.



    You're on to something....If that were the case, why the hell would you humor her by going to her wedding when she's only inviting you so that you don't sabotage her wedding.

    LOL Because I do care about their family and I'm not sure about the bride's motifs, but in any case would be supportive of her groom's choices, and happy for the children involved.

    The motifs are likely floral. Or maybe pagan symbolic motifs?
    I read it as motive.

    I think it's tartan/kilt with black collars with blingy hearts on it.

    Despite the fact that this thread probably does sound made up and pointless, truth is stranger than fiction, sometimes.
    Now I'm onboard. I thought it was motive as in behaviour earlier, but it was the pattern. My bad.

    It was motive earlier. But they do have a motif, as well.

    Last year we got naked and jumped over the fire pit, though.

    Clearly, I need new friends.
    Ditto. Wanna have a party? We don't have to be sober for the naked fire jumping right?

    see?

    I'm not seeing the blingy hearts. Is that hearts with sparkles?
    I'm having a hard time imagining that on Tartan.

    Why can't you be normal and have a Fourth of July party? When you say Mid Summer "Event" I'm thinking of a bunch of adults skipping around a pole with different colored ribbons.:yawn:

    I keep thinking about Shakespeare, to be honest. lol

    If their event starts at 4, the ceremony at 6, then how are you going to have a party at 7?

    Is this real life? I don't see how this works. Isn't almost worse to show up and leave?

    This whole thread is a lesson on the important of patience.

    Would it be worse to show up and leave?

    Maybe I should just mail a gift.

    I'm not sure what to do.

    If I could change my event I would, but a lot of people have already submitted time off requests for the Mid-summer.

    I'm not sure what to do.

    They honestly can't change their requests?

    ^This

    OP, I think what has gotten you into trouble here is that you have a tendency to assume. That's always a bad idea.

    Call your friends that put in requests, apologize and see if they can resubmit. It's really not a big deal. But, in order to sort it out, you are actually going to have to TALK TO PEOPLE.

    5 gallons of pomegranate mead, brisket, pie

    I'm sure we'll have cheese and meat appetizers, side dishes and a couple cases of German beer.

    I would have just sent her an invitation to the party

    if she complained, I'd sent her a salt shaker.
