I am Suppose 2 Go 2 A Wedding The Same Day As My FAMILY REUNION BUT IDK WHICH ONE TO GO TO?

Question

EVERYONE IS COUNTING ON ME TO BE AT THE WEDDING & I AM SUPPOSE TO SERVE THE FOOD...I REALLY WANT TO GO BECAUSE I'VE NEVER BEEN TO A WEDDING. MY FAMILY REUNION IS THE SAME EXACT DAY AND I WANT TO SEE MY MY SISTERS I'VE NEVER MET AND CATCH UP WITH MY FAMILY...THERE IS NO WAY I CAN GO TO BOTH SO WHAT SHOULD I DO

Answer 1

go to the wedding.  call the person that is incharge of the reunion and tell them about your situation and then ask them if they can bump it up a week or make it the next week.  you want to meet your sisters but you don't want to let the bride down or stress her out (about having to find another person to serve the food) .  hope this helps

Answer 2

Tell them both your situation and let them hear their opinions of which one you should go to.

Answer 3

If you have promised to serve the food at the wedding you are supposed to go to, you have a duty to stick by your promise.  The people that you have promised are relying on you to do what you said you would.  One way or the other, you MUST let those people in the wedding know if you change your plans and go to the 'reunion'.

Answer 4

i think you should go to the event that you first committed to, first off

.  

Are you the caterer or just a person to hold the spoon to dish out the food?  were you paid to serve or is this a favor?  

I think its really based on what you truely want to do.  If the above question is a favor to the bride...talk to her and see how she feels first.  i dont know the relationship between you two.  

if this is a catering job, i wouldnt stress out the bride...sisters are forever...a wedding should be at least one time for most cases...if you tell your sisters your situations...i think they would stay for one extra day for you and can do sister bonding thing the next day.  

This is a tough one...its really up to you...if i knew more about your situation for the wedding...i would tell you a better answer...ill check back.

Answer 5

My mantra is family first...cancel the wedding, Hon.....good luck.

a server can easily be replaced......who knows when another family re-union will come around....and you have sisters you have yet to meet????? Are you kidding with this question? lol....family, hon...there will be other weddings to attend.

Answer 6

Hmm.. it sounds like the family reunion is important because of the sisters you've never met. Besides you serving the food at the wedding and never been to a wedding... how important is this wedding to you? Is there a way for your family to hang around for another day so you can see them after the wedding? If not, you need to decide which is more important to you.

Good luck!

Answer 7

Can you get in touch with this sister and arrange a time to get together?  If people are counting on you to serve food you should go to the wedding unless you can find someone who can take your place.  Is this a good friend's wedding?  If not, you will have many opportunities to go to other weddings.  Either decision would be fine.

Answer 8

Go to the wedding. You can catch up with family anytime but a wedding with that person is a one time deal :). Unless they're both at different times then I don't see how you could go to both.

Answer 9

Wont there be other family functions?  A wedding is only one time.  Plus, if you've already made a commitment to assist with food at the wedding, it would be distasteful and seem selfish of you to cancle on them.  I think you should stick to your commitments.

Answer 10

you should call to the wedding and cancle..and go to the family reunion..well that's what i would do

Answer 11

whos wedding is it? most likley not a family members. if you have enough time mabey you could move the location of the renunion closer to the wedding

you will be invited to so many wedding as you get older, but not that many reunions. the people who do go the reunion you may never have the chance to see again. i woukld chose the reunion but you do what your heart feels, not your head. if you choose the wedding and have some one really close who is going to the renunion, have them video tape it or vice versa

this is one you have to awnser for yourself

the decision can impact the rest of your life so chose carefully

dont let other peoples feelings get int he way , but do listen to their opinions.
