[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What Marathon is on a Friday? Normally they are held on Sunday, early morning start so traffic is less disrupted.
This detail is fake. Maybe the whole post fake too.[/quote]

There are actually many that are run on Saturday with an early start.  Since the wedding is a flight away, it is unlikely that she could go to a 3:00 PM Friday wedding, then a reception and still make a flight to get back for a 7:00 AM start.[/quote]

Sorry, doing a marathon when there is a family event going on is selfish, selfish, selfish. She and her spouse need to take care of their own kids.

Sheesh. My spouse and I never expected other people to take care of our kids for us. We didn’t get to go to a lot of weddings and other events because we had our kids to take care of but we never complained about it because we knew that went along with having kids. I don’t understand people who have a problem with being responsible for their own children.

Ridiculous.  Planning for/training for a marathon isn’t something you do on a whim.  It takes a very long time and I guarantee she signed up for the marathon long before getting the wedding invitation. There’s nothing selfish about her following through on her commitment to herself![/quote]
