Depends how close he is to his step daughter but sounds a bit of a dick head move tbh.

One of my colleagues & best friends is a fanatical Villa supporter & long standing season ticket holder. He's been to every game this season and decades of previous seasons.
On Saturday Villa play their play-off final against Fulham at 5pm.
At 1pm his step-daughter gets married 110 miles from Wembley. He's leaving the ceremony at 2pm prompt. Then driving to London, getting the tube (if he can park!) and planning to get to Wembley for a 5pm kick-off. After the game he's returning to get to the end of the wedding evening do.
He's seriously considered hiring a helicopter, a motor-cycle taxi & other such options.
He says military precision, I say very best of luck!

Idiot.
If it were me, I would've had words to avoid a potential clash. Then again, if I were a Villa fan, my delusions of grandeur would've meant I was sure if second place until it was too late
I’ll only be at the happiest day of your life love I’ve got to go and watch a game!
What will i be watched your first dance? No I’ll be on the 12.40 to London to watch some millionaires kicking a ball around some grass.
I missed a good friend's wedding because Cardiff were playing Sheff U the same day. At the time, I was going to my preferred option (didn't really fancy a wedding, was younger and naive and self-centred, and Cardiff had were in the top 6), but in hindsight it was a shitty thing to do - and that was "only" a good mate.
It’s bad but your mate probably wouldn’t miss you that much with all his family there.
Imagine the guy who raised you running you down the isle because he had to get to Wembley
Bit of a dick move tbh. Family should come first and I'd imagine his step-daughter is (quite rightly) furious
Just to put the record straight, she's in her late 20's and it's his new partners daughter, he's only known her a couple of years. She's 100% supportive of him going. The intent of my posting related to him being 110 miles away 3 hours before kick-off and efforts he's going to get there on time.
Who gets married in the football season?
Bloody dickheads that's who.
I would rather watch it on sky, all that stress would ruin the enjoyment of the game for me
This is a Netmums-like thread with a possible family feud in the making. I hope the OP keeps us informed of the unfolding intrigue.
There's not much point in him going back for the evening do. Everyone will have spent the whole day slagging him off.
