I'm attending a wedding, I really don't want to go.

Ceremony starts at 2.30pm
Speeches & food 6pm
"Games" and music 8pm
Special fun hour 12pm-1am

It's been expressed bride wants everyone to stay until 1am

When can I leave while being polite? Do I have to stay until 1am?

The bride won't even notice that you've left early.
What a ridiculous schedule.
She sounds delusional.
Gotta say I feel sorry for the groom.

I'm intrigued by the special late night fun. Are they offering everyone cocaine?
Y'all will need it.

😂

My migraines come on at the worst times, right? Such a shame. Gutted to go. You look beautiful, it's been wonderful, byebyebye, bu-bye.

This is the one.

8pm? So 5.5hrs. Doable.

Sorry went to sleep.
Yes 8 absolutely before the erm. Games and special fun.
good luck.

8:15 and if anyone asks why you left early, say you didn't, you were in the loo all night.

I'd say certainly before the "special fun hour".

Go, eat, dance, slip away. Home by ten thirty.
