Forgot to add that the person who planned this shite is an LSU alum and the groom is trying to get it moved now that I talked to him.

Life long friends understand each other. Was in a wedding for one myself. Engagement party was planned early. Saints end up playing Lions in a playoff game at the Superdome the day of. I call him to let him know I've got tickets and will be missing the party. Before I can tell him he says "Actually I was going to call you. If you have playoff tickets then please by all means go to the game. I would never expect anyone to miss a big game for a ridiculous engagement party that's mainly to appease family anyway." That's a friend. Also he wasn't announcing his best man at the party because he isn't a gay

I'm in kind of a similar situation but not quite the same. My GF's family is have fricking family reunion this coming saturday. My GF completely expects me to go and I've chalked it up to one of those things that I just have to do. Well, now we are having serious fricking problems if I had to bet on it, we'll probably be breaking up in the next month or so. Trying to work through it but it ain't looking so hot. Anyway, do I just expediate the probable result and screw the reunion to go to the game? I'm going to be pissed if I miss the game and we break up next f'n week. I'm not trying to be cool because I really don't want to break up with her and will be upset about but I'm really starting to think the writing is on the wall.

Decisions, decisions, decisions....

And that is something that just needs to be based on each friendship and person. I'm sure plenty of people wouldn't care if you were there one way or another.

I'm just saying I would go to the party, because I value friendship over football. But being a female that isn't totally shocking.

You are just a bf, not a husband...so why are you expected to go again?

I agree, OP should go to the party.


I also agree that the friend sucks for scheduling a party and doing this pansy announcement stuff on the date of the Bama game.

I talked to him last night about just giving him shite in a friendly manner. I mean I am going regardless but it would be tits if it got moved and i was the savior for most people attending since half the crowd is LSU fans.

I think we can all agree this "announcing the best man" at the party is ridiculous.

not a save the date. He just hasnt decided for the past 3 months now or has and hasnt told anyone so he prolly told himself to just tell the best man @ the party since he has waited this long already.

If he was your best friend he wouldn't have scheduled his wedding party on Bama/LSU day, knowing how important that is to you.

If it was his wedding day I would say miss the game but this is just an engagement party. Go the the game & the wedding. Screw his lame-arse best-man-to-be announcement party.

He had nothing to do with the scheduling of it. He doesn't even want to go honestly. It was his brothers g/f and his sister and fiances sister who planned it.
