That is flat out the worst excuse I've ever heard! Actually admitting that a day at the beach is more important than your cousin's wedding. My God, I'd rather lie than give that excuse.

In Response to Re: RSVP Vent : A friend of my Mom's was in tears after calling some people 3 weeks before her daughter's wedding.  He nephew said, well September Saturdays are iffy,  we do not want to say yes and have it turn out that that is the last good beach day, which means we would say yes then miss the wedding.  Can't we just tell you like 3 days before, when the weather forecast is pretty certain?   Posted by whatawagSBNy
