They cross the political, religion and basic decency lines, so I can't repeat them here. |

"Thanks for the invite, but I don't choose to attend." |

Location: Budd Lake, NJ | We actually got an invitation to a wedding once that we declined to go to because neither one of us recognized the names of either the bride or the groom, the home address where the invitation came from--absolutely nothing rang a bell with us. We declined, along with a note that basically said, "Please forgive us, but we're getting older now, and we can't remember where we know you from; we do thank you for your kind invitation, but we won't be able to come." Plus it was in North Carolina, at a time when Jack's work made it inconvenient for us to leave and travel that far for people we honestly couldn't place. (And, trust me, we tried.)
None of our close friends suddenly stopped speaking to us after that; we never did figure out who the happy couple were......and maybe by now it's "was." (Play "Twilight Zone" theme here.)

Getcha some free refreshments at the reception. Come home with your family relationships maintained and reflect that it really wasn't all that bad after all. |
