You could have declined the invitation.
But you said tux, so I guess you're in the wedding party?
Got to fly across the county, rent a hotel room, rent a car. Now I get to wear a fucking tux for 5+ hours so I can watch a couple of people say "I do".
Great
It'd be kind of hard to explain at this point, while I stand in my hotel room half naked.
So why are you not talking about how great this couple is
I mean, why did you agree to go in the first place?It'd be kind of hard to explain at this point, while I stand in my hotel room half naked.
Yes, it's an obligation, but you said yes and it would be nice to not be a shitty friend/family member to whoever is getting married that likes you so much they want you in their wedding party
Wedding space are pretty limited, they would have no trouble finding someone else. It is also perfectly understandable why someone out of state can't make it.
What the OP described is a huge sink of money and time for some people, just for a wedding. Let's not pretend some weddings aren't ridiculous in what they ask of the guests, putting them in the position of either having to commit or looking like a "bad friend" for declining.So anything that has you doing something for the happiness of others is selfish

This isn't about you, it's about you being there on the biggest day of their lives
