Bummer for him... he needs to do what I did...my wife knows very well that I do not accept any invitations or make any plans in Oct,Nov (deer hunting) and April, May (turkey hunting). Its a blanket rule...year in and year out. And she also knows that I do not attend weddings unless its for a blood relative (but even then, not if its in Oct,Nov,April or May) She understands. Guess I'm lucky!
