For me personally, the whole revenge thing is kinda icky... As a Christian I've heard enough sermons about that I suppose, to know that we're supposed to leave that to God and just worry about forgiving others their faults...

HOWEVER, having said that -- the little devil on my other shoulder is telling me a great alternative solution... Rather than risk making a big scene or anything, upsetting people overtly and blatantly, especially "mom," I would just bail at the last minute. "OFF" goes the cellphone, and on the way to the wedding, I'd "stop for a quick pint" and somehow manage to lose track of time till... ohhh.. I dunno... the next day.

Oooops! Sorry we couldn't make it to the wedding -- something important came up.
