Scheduling Predicament. What would you do?
 

Ok so on the same day in March 2 things have come up... Both I feel obligated to go to....


The first is a PCA Autocross driver training... A) I just want the seat time but I also feel like I have an obligation to help with this type of thing since I am a Board member in my Region...


The second is a Wedding... its a girl I started school in Kindergarten with and we stayed close all the way through school... So as a close friend I feel obligated to go to her wedding as well....



So what would y'all do?

Go to the one you committed to first.

I have committed to neither is the problem...

Go to the one with the least amount of standing around aimlessly. ...so then, the wedding.

Is she likely to get married again?

I'm not sure... there is that chance I feel...



How big of a douche would it make me to skip a friends wedding to go racing? Feel free to ask your SO?

Go to the wedding.

When I said "go to the one you committed to first," it should follow logically that if you hadn't committed to either one, you'd go to the one you knew about first.

Subsequent posts speak loudly that the wedding of your friend is much more important to you than the driver training... so, it's a no-brainer.

My wife says that since you are asking you should go racing. If the wedding was really important to you, you wouldn't be asking.

This really shouldn't be a predicament. Wedding's should happen once. I've missed too many important things because of "choosing to go racing" If it's a friend you've known for a long time.....how would you feel if she went purse shopping instead of coming to your wedding? The old geezers at the DE will understand.

send a nice gift to the bride and go racing.

If she is a close friend - I would say go to the wedding. If she is not a close friend then do whatever you want.

A couple of years ago I did not go to a very close friend's wedding due to some financial restrictions. I could have put the plane ticket on a card, taken the time off and stayed with my brother in the same town.

6 months later he was killed in a car accident.

One of the biggest regrets in my entire life is not going to his wedding.

Besides, weddings are awesome. I always have a good time (even if there isn't any drinking) and the girls are in the best mood ever.

EVER!

Even now that I've been married - weddings are fantastic fun.

I can relate all-too-well to this. The feeling sucks...

Thanks guys... I was thinking I ought to go to the wedding.... Looks like I will tell dad to take the Porsche and go have a good time......


Edit... Should I go alone? ;)

Cool....now go watch Wedding Crashers to get yourself pumped up. Hopefully there will be a crazy/hot redhead at your friend's shindig.

Hmm.... Good point... Guess that answers the date question as well....

I just told him to take the chick he is chasing... :)

good decision.

If you had asked this ...
"Edit... Should I go alone? "
in you first post the answer woud have been VERY clear ...
;)

Good choice. If it was a dude rather than a chick I would say send a gift and go drive.

Seriously...there will be many other PCA events in your future. Hopefully, your friend will get married only once.

Weddings are a blast... go... you'll be glad you did...

Go to the wedding.

go to the wedding, take a hot chick and you may end up swapping some seat time for some saddle time

When single... always go to the wedding!!!

I can't BELIEVE so many people recommend going to the wedding!
I'd skip a wedding to go race tricycles, or even 944's! ;)
Weddings are so fkn lame they're almost unbearable, and the ones with free booze are just as bad because I drink myself into oblivion in an attempt to numb the agony.

This was my thought. Plus, weddings are GREAT places to get laid. Well not AT the wedding but after the reception. And finally, one of life's most important lessons: Always take a handkerchief to a wedding or a funeral. You WILL sit beside a crying female.

go to the wedding.

Depends on what the bridesmaids look like. They get all horndogged up at weddings.

A big one. A REAL BIG one

Funerals are lame too, but you go.

You've been watching Wedding Crashers, huh?

If yer single....ya got a chance of getting some....

AX is like masturbation, not the real thing....

If you've known this girl for as long as you say you have and you skip her wedding.......well just say goodbye because she'll never let you live it down or forgive you......

You need to multitask.

Go to the wedding, and drive around the church parking lot fast a few times.

go to the wedding...talk about the "race" you are missing out on, find sympathy with the ladies..try to put it in them.

weddings are a happy blast. single chicks feel left out. go. wear clean underwear.

On second thought.... Dad won't be taking the Porsche to have a good time... I need it....

this is no brainer. go to the wedding. its not whats important to you, its whats important to your friend. 10 years later and im still pissed at some friends of mine who didnt come to my wedding becuase of some 'stupid' reason.

There is only 1 wedding,------ go. There will be many more autocross'es to go to over the years.
