Help me with moral dilemma

[SunTracker]

Ok, I have a friend whom I've known since high school.  Last spring he got engaged to be married.  He asked me to be a groomsmen in his wedding.  I said ok.  He told me he was getting married when his girlfriend finished college.  

This summer I learned how to scuba dive and joined a scuba club.  My dive buddy and I were invited to go on an ecology dive with the club on Sept 11 at Dale Hollow Lake.  For freshwater, its actually supposed to be a pretty neat dive.

Well I hear from my friend this past weekend that he has changed his wedding date to Sept 11.  And he still wants me to be in his wedding.

So either way somebody is getting let down, either my friend or my dive buddy.  I'm leaning towards going on the scuba trip, because its alot more fun than a wedding.

Any suggestions or advice?

You can go diving anytime. Your buddy will only get married 3 or 4 times. Go to the wedding, you can always bag a bridesmaid and go diving.

No brainer. Your friend should get married only once, the lake will be there for a long time.

Some friend you are.

Being in the wedding party is an honor.

This will be one of the biggest days in their lives!

Invited to be in a wedding party and is thinking of going scuba diving instead?

You should be ashamed to even think of turning down your friends invitation like that!

As stated above, that water will always be there.



P.S. Scuba gear makes good wedding gifts.

Tough call.  You're not the best man, just a groomsman.  I was originally gonna say 'wedding', but...  tough call.

This is a lot like the dumbtruck post.

Tough call....


Just kidding, depending on how good of a friend, I'd go scuba diving.

Thanks for the feedback blooz (and others).

Personally I hate weddings.  They are boring and waste of time (to me).  But apparently most people think they are important.  

I agree that the lake will always be there, but this is a once a year trip for my club.  

But perhaps I will go to this antiquated ceremony to appease the natives.

ho my god.

You are clearly not going to these with the right attitude. Are you single? These are anything BUT boring.

Just a small wonderment... why did they choose 9-11 as a wedding date?



I guess he'll never forget an anniversary.

Thought the same thing. I'm thinking discount.

I cant imagine why anybody would want that wedding date these years..

My step-mom's birthday was 9/11.

She actually changed it to August... same as my dad's. Heh, kinda weird, but goes to show....

Tell him Sept.11th really isn't a good date to get married, and by using a sad occasion to remember his annervisary reall won't work out..
