This has to be the most hardest decision to make, all event really and absolutely has it important but as it is I can't be at three people the same time, so I have to I have to choose.
My best friend wedding anniversary to me at this moment has to be the list important not because I love her less but because she has had her day, and an anniversary is the mark of a very successful wedding, and knowing her, she would absolutely kick me out of her anniversary party if I was found there, because she would expect me to be trying to bound with my family even if I was
not in good standing with them. now am left to choose between my family reunion and my cousin wedding.
Wedding is actually a one time dream event well for some, and my cousin wedding wouldn't be different and the fact that I got an invite to it make me a very important family member and show that my presence would mean a lot,and come to think of it who plans a family reunion when there is a function, on this side of the world, in my country and as much as I have known my family both close and extended,it is rare to attend a relative wedding or even occasion and not meet other family members.
A wedding is not an overnight event from where I'm from there are plans like a lot of plans put into a wedding ceremony, it takes weeks of planing that becomes months and everyone in the family plays a part, anyways not everyone but a number of people, definitely invite has been pass to the family members first before even an external body, wedding is like a full blown family reunion on it own so it brings me to wonder again who plans a family reunion when there is a wedding.
I can think of so many reasons why there may plan a family reunion in the mist of a family occasion but not a logically one,no matter how horrible the person wedding is I feel family members should be in attendance.
Using the example of family wedding we had in December I was amazed, my cousin was getting married and she being the last born of her home and there have been other weddings as well I would say she had the most attendance,while she was strategic in packing a data and it fell during the Christmas period so it was the best time to have a wedding and have the most people in attendance, no body would give excess of work or school anyways there where still people not in attendance but believe me there where not really notice until after the ceremony because those in attendance where more than those who had no reason not to be there and there could all be counted on one palms.
I can only just imagine a family reunion while that kind of ceremony was taking place, who ever the organizer was. He or her would not only loss a lot of funds that was put into organizing the family reunion but would also go home with a bucket full of shame.
It is safe to say I have a family that over looks grievances when it time to celebrate success.
