Hello,
So a family member of mine is getting married later this year. I said I would book the time off work and go, without thinking too much about it. Well, the thing is, now I am thinking about it I don't really want to go. I've been granted the time off work, and I wouldn't mind going if it was happening within the country and lasted for just a day, but she lives in Ireland, so everybody is booking a flight over there and staying for a couple of days. To put it bluntly, I don't want to fork out a couple hundred pound for somebody elses wedding, and it's not really feasible to go there and back in a day. I also don't feel like my prescence will make the slightest bit of difference. While I'm sure some people may like to see me for a moment, it doesn't really matter whether I'm there or not. I'm really stuck for an excuse, because I already told people I would go. Does anybody have any ideas on how I can get out of this?
