Okay, before I start this post, let me say that I get that weddings are expensive and that having a Sunday wedding is a good way to save money. I really do.
But my sister just got married this past Sunday, and I have spent the entire workweek paying for the fact that I had to take Monday off to attend the day-after brunches.
I know some people are going to say in response to this that I didn’t have to go to them, but, really, when it’s that close of a family member, do you realistically ever have a “real” choice. Had I not gone, I would be hearing about it for at least the rest of the month, if not for the remainder of 2010.
So, while she is off blissfully honeymooning, I am now work until 10/11 every night to make up for missing 1 day of work for this wedding.
People who are thinking about Sunday weddings, please, please, please think about your guests. Not just the ones you figure can choose not to come, but also the ones who have no choice in the matter.
