Sober in a sub-par dress is much more beautiful than a drunk in haute couture!
I just had to turn down a wedding invite for this weekend. It will be a top notch band with a great party and I just knew I couldn't do it sober.
I'm glad you know drinking is off the table but I agree that maybe a sick pass is ok on this one. Only you can answer that though. You could also go and stay only for the ceremony. Or stay for dinner and leave right after. Could you bring along a good sober support friend?
There are many options you have if you think about it, not going is option 1.....
