[quote=Anonymous]I will never understand why people are so insistent in celebrating a milestone on the EXACT day, even if it is less fun or screws up other plans. We like to do nice birthdays and anniversaries (not lavish but special and memorable) and sometimes the exact date is just not an option--either it's a weekday or we have another obligation. So we do it another day within a week or so. Our kids are not old enough to understand calendars yet and it's never caused any type of problem. It's MUCH nicer than stressing about how to do too many things in one day. Bottom line, I don't think a 2-year-old's birthday is a valid reason to miss your best friend's wedding. Also it kind of sounds like you're making excuses. Were you really planning on carrying your toddler as a lap child on a 5-hour flight, even if it was a few weeks before his 2nd bday? And have you looked into or asked your friend about any other airport transfer options? What about renting a car or carpooling with another wedding guest? If you want to make it happen you wil make it happen. [/quote]
