Maybe the "skip your wedding crowd" doesn't have a lot of experience with women but the one thing you learn early on is you don't dick around with a woman's wedding. Unless it's her 3rd marriage and you're running down to the courthouse to sign the paper work there aren't many excuses outside of dropping dead that warrant missing it. That's her day and she will hold that against you for the rest of your life if you screw it up for her. Plus it's usually a good time, far better than some garbage regional's indoc. Have fun, get married, go on your honeymoon and enjoy the time with your new bride. Once you start doing the regional dance it seems like the music never ends...
