There's a wedding this weekend and I don't want to go. The groom is my husband's friend and they haven't hung out since they were in high school so I'm surprised we were even invited. I suggested to my husband that he doesn't need me there to put in an appearance and give the happy couple a gift card, but he doesn't want to show up alone.
This should be fun. Not. It'll be chock full of this friend's old Army buddies, and my husband (who was a squid until a little while ago) will probably end up punching one of them, and then I'll punch one of them because it's fun to punch people. I'll probably get trashed and tell the groom's little sister she looks like a crackhead, because she does even when she attempts to look nice.
I don't know these people. I don't want to go to somebody else's unit reunion. I'm not interested in their stories, and I have a feeling we'll end up in a scrap with these chuckleheads about something really dumb.
I'm not interested in my husband's high school friend if they barely kept in touch. Why are they reconnecting now, ten years later? If a friend from ten years ago suddenly invited me to her wedding, I would decline because I've moved on unless it was one of my Army buddies, but it hasn't been ten years quite yet. In other words, I'd understand if it was one of my husband's friends from when he was in the Navy but a high school friend?
