I sense that it's much more just a total lack of understanding of how most folks deal with finances.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
She does because to her, she'd drop the commercial in a heartbeat. And not because she has the money to drop it, either. It's how she is and expects everyone around her to be the same.

He is. He spoke to the director and the producer and they are filming as planned. He's doing both.

I'm sure he just burned a major favor with both the director and the producer too.

Not really - they were friends of his. Wow. Understanding friends, imagine that.

"Now that we know that he'll drop the commercial, if it actually comes up again we'll probably let him off the hook, but we had to know he was a real friend and understood how important this day is to us."
What Cash said. Damn, that's high school shit. A friend is a friend, no matter what they are, or aren't, able to do for you. Gah.

What is even happening?
The thing that appaled me was when B said, basically, "Now that we know that he'll drop the commercial, if it actually comes up again we'll probably let him off the hook, but we had to know he was a real friend and understood how important this day is to us."
It's like a friendship pop quiz, but it doesn't count on your final grade.
Ugh.
You know, I can see being hurt/disappointed, whatever. I can't see telling one of my friends to give up 20,000 bucks, in order to make it to my wedding, whether or not the friend was in the wedding. That's just too much money to ask someone to give up. And in that business, getting a national commercial can mean so much. No. No way. That's just mean. I think the only thing you're allowed to do is so, "Oh, I hope there isn't a conflict; we'd miss you so much," and then feel really sorry for yourself, if there was a conflict, but totally understand because man, that's a lot of money.
