FI just found out his best friend/ GM most likely won't make it to the wedding. His GM got laid off a little while ago, and just recently found a new job, but they won't give him the time off

He would need at least 2 days because he would be driving up from FL. FI is really depressed, also because only a third of the people he invited are coming, and I'm depressed because I can't cheer him up.
