You're inviting me? Seriously?
Last night I received a wedding invitation that seemed to come out of the blue. Normally you have some idea that you'll be receiving an invite to the wedding, but I never saw this coming.
My surprise wasn't because I didn't know the couple was engaged, it was just that I had only met the bride once -- and I've still never met the groom. Maybe this is the price I pay because the bride drove me to the airport about a year ago -- now she wants a wedding present in return.
Getting the wedding invite was almost as awkward as the time I received a baby announcement from an ex-girlfriend. I was wondering if it was a creative way of telling me the child was mine, until friends assured me that the 27 months since we had broken up was awful long for a pregnancy.

Don't stress... just don't go. Receiving an invitation does not mean you are obligated to attend, silly boy! If you're afraid of hurting her feelings (though I can't imagine why), just plan a business trip for the same timeframe and I'm sure she'll understand! You travel a lot; it could happen. :)

Do what I do in these situations. Go and wear some ridiculous dress, get drunk, and flirt with the groomsmen.
OK, maybe don't do the EXACT same thing.

Thats what you get for being related to the Maid of Honor I guess. . . Invite by association!
