...or it'll be forgettable. I wasn't able to bring my wife into town because of our kid situation and she didn't miss much although we missed each other as happens in this business. If you've had other accomplishments in life, it might feel weird celebrating the wings in spite of not having even started aircraft training. Not to say you'll have a bad time, and it could be a great date night. But IMHO (and it's only that), I wouldn't move heaven and earth to attend as a couple.
