the nuts and bolts of the dreaded nuptials are that it is my wife's cousin and his future wife, both of whom I like. We could have used the "we have a 3 year old and a 5 month old so we probably won't take off work to drive six hours round trip on a thursday but thanks" card, but it appears my wife was guilted by family members who don't see our kids as much as the rest of the fam and thus, on opening day, i will be on the road. but the good news is that there is also a wedding on saturday i must attend as well
