Exactly, Lisa. Why not leave me in the dark?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Punishingly Intricate
Why not leave me in the dark?
I mean you'd probably find out anyway (if they have connections to other people who are invited to the wedding) but why rub it in?
In happier wedding news, your shoes are SEXXXAY!

They probably just want you to know that they have a prior engagement, or else they'd love to come.
Signed, my sisters in-laws missed my wedding because they were hanging with Dave Barry instead, and for once, I'm really not bitter.

Aren't they? And cheap too. The original pair I wanted were 3x's as much.

It's one thing to be hanging out and holding a conversation with Dave Barry; it's an intimate setting. It's another to be packed into a stadium with 20,000 screaming fans. What gets my goat is that they're not attending the afternoon wedding, ostensibly because of the concert. Lisa was right, regretfully decline and leave it at that.
No impending bitter for me. I've got PLENTY of other things about which to be vitriolic.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
Also a 8 cup measuring bowl w/lid that you can bake a cake in. There was a recipe.
I'm not the type of person who could be described as someone who likes to cook, and even *I* love the Pampered Chef batter bowl.

Well, the Stones concert is probably a once-in-a-lifetime last chance to see sort of thing. Dave Barry, OTOH, at least for the people in question, was not, so I think it evens out. While I agree it's boneheaded of them to not just regretfully decline, I can understand why they mentioned it, because they probably thought it was nicer of them to explain. @@
They should, I feel, send you one hell of a nice gift to make up for their priorities. But that's just my sense of what's right talking. (I got a place setting in my china.)

On this, we agree!*
*Lest anyone think I am related to Aimee's MOH from hell, I'd much rather have them there than sending us a kickass gift.

Silly people. Yes, they should have just regretfully declined.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Mmm...maybe not. Those guys seem to want to keep going. I think they should have retired to their money forts with their supermodel girlfriends a looooong time ago.
My brother in law skipped our wedding because he was *suppose* to take his race car to a track to race. It rained like hell and the race was cancelled. He still didn't come. Friends of ours that also raced said they'd make it if it rained. Sure enough, they pulled the race car trailer up in the church parking lot and changed into their formal wear in the trailer. They were cool. BiL, NSM.
I love Pampered Chef stuff but I've managed to avoid getting hooked so far. I doubt if I'll stay a Pampered Chef virgin my whole life though.
Yes, they should have just regretfully declined.
Yeah, assuming a Stones concert would be an acceptable excuse is pretty silly. Just say, sorry, can't make it and send a nice gift.
