Right Lifers I am in a bit of a pickle...
The date of the Play Off final coincides with a wedding for one of my Missus's friends. Not majorly close friends by a long shot but chummy all the same.
We've been together for a couple of years and I've let her know for ages that the Play Off final is this day. Just so I could get it in early doors. She's having none of it though and said I HAVE to be at this wedding.
IF indeed we do get to the Final, what the hell do I say or do to get out of this wedding!?
I've already said to take her sister who's also friendly with them to go with her in my place.
WHAT DO I DO?!?!?!

Also who gets married on a Sunday?!
If the answer is yes you should on this occasion attend the wedding.
I never have to ask my wife , so if the wife asked me on this one occasion of course I'd attend the wedding
Moment she leaves chuck on your Charlton kit and get down the pub with your mates for some pre-match beverages ahead of a short trip down Wembley Way - Just make sure that no photos of you enjoying your special day ever either (1) Reach FaceBook or (2) Reach the eyes of your wife
If No.2 happens then just give your wife a thumbs up and say: "Imodium is a life saver innit"
I missed my wife's brother's wedding because I was at Le Mans. I hadn't actually booked it when they announced the date but my wife knew how much me and my dad used to enjoy and look forward to it that she was happy (ish) for me to go.
It was a very quiet affair, even his wife said to me before the day that I'd made the right choice and wouldn't be missing much!
Give her some money and say to her "spend it on something to trim your bush"
That'll bound to win her over.
thankfully though when it comes to Charlton she knows that there is zero chance of stopping me from ever attending
No brainer...see you at Wembley
The wife thinks I can be selfish some of the time , well in fact all the time.
I'm now able to show the wife this thread when she comes in from work to show her how lucky she is to have me.
Mind you, I'm probably the wrong person to ask. Back in 1976 I married the first Mrs Isawsummersplay in Sidcup Registery Office at 9:00am, and spent the afternoon with the lads at The Valley. Well worth it as we beat Sheffield United 3-2!
Slight difference !!! A GARDEN show that is probably held annually to other halfs mate's wedding.
To answer the OP...........
In this case I'd probably have to suck it up & go - but tell her you'd be following on all social media & probably even see if the event had Sky. This is coming from a bloke who is divorced twice & who's first wife found out how important CAFC is. Just make sure you never have to answer the question (after a bottle of wine) of......"if you had to choose between xxxxx (name of partner) or CAFC, what would you choose....."
btw.............its not an issue until Friday evening. We might not get to Wembley. chill until then.
PS. At my 2nd wedding there was a gap of a few hours between wedding breakfast (lunch) and evening reception. The wedding was on Lades Final day at Wimbledon and due to a previous rain delay Tin Henman played his Semi final. Also there was a Test match being shown on C4. Me & a few guests managed to watch a few hours of both after I had brought along a portable tv (wayyyy before everyone had mobile phones). You just have to be creative.
Does your girlfriend have a lot of other friends there or will you be the only person she knows? If she knows a lot of people there I think that you not being there is nowhere near as much of a big deal.
Wedding of a friend - should get a pass for the final.
