(NP trying to catch up.)

This is so sad to me.[/quote]

When you grow up you will realize this was NOT the most important day of your life. [/quote]

When did anyone (OP or a poster) say it was the most important day of anyone's life??  The point, which I think is obvious but apparently not, is whether a sports tournament is or can be or should be more important than a close family wedding.  The wedding doesn't have to be the most important day of the person's life to think that a tournament shouldn't trump.  The bride could place it in line with a number of important life events, like a 75th anniversary party for grandparents, like a bat mitvah of a sibling, like a parent's retirement party after decades of public service etc.[/quote]

Can you rank those so we know your value system and implement those in our life. What is more important bat mitzvah of a sibling, wedding, bar mitvah of best friend, retirement parties, graduation parties, baptisms/bris, weddings, anniversary parties... did i miss something. See this is not the only event they have to manage around. There are tons and tons of family events going on. Every blue moon, it just doesn't work out. [/quote]
