[quote=Anonymous]I played D1aa field hockey in college, and played on a state championship high school field hockey team (I was not on varsity as a frosh, but would haved loved to have made it). I honestly don't know what my 14 yr old brain would have thought had I faced this dilemma, but I know with certainty that it would not have actually been a dilemma because it would not have been a choice for my parents - we all would have gone to the wedding. I did miss other important family events here and there but a wedding (or a funeral) of a close family member would trump just about anything in my family. Reflecting through my adult eyes, I am very glad that I have such a close knit family and I know I can count on them to be there for me and to support me at major lifecycle events (and many other things, of course).  For those who would respond to me that the aunt should support the nephew at his important event (by letting him go to the soccer match), I just don't come close to equating a wedding with any soccer tournament (except maybe an opp to play in the world cup!).[/quote]
