Wedding this summer
Wife's friend is a big far left liberal. Her wedding was canceled this last summer for obvious reasons. So it's now this summer unless cancelled again. I told my wife I ain't going.....but, am I wrong? Do I go just for the free meal and drinks, or stick to my guns and say no way, I'm staying home.

Tough call. No easy answer but going against your wife's wishes is a losing proposition.

Go just to irritate people.

She doesn't care if I don't go. My wife has to go as she's a brides maid. This is her friends 2nd wedding. Me and the kids were going to go eat and leave early was the original plan.

I might wear a red Trump tie.

You should go to please your wife. Not going because the lady is far left is weak.

Going with your wife is the proper thing to do. Your wife is in the wedding party, so she must be a close friend of the bride.
Everything in life can’t be about politics.

Correct, but you should see the crazy stuff she posts on Facebook. Like not being friends with a Republican but not in such a polite way. She's the type that is full of hate.

Whether your wife cares or not, it is still a nice move on your part.
Maybe she is saying she doesn’t care, so you won’t feel you have to go.
I think you should go and keep your mouth shut, except when eating all the food you are going to eat.

Maybe she is just saying that because she knows you don't want to go.

You're going for your wife. To make her happy. Not anyone else.

Listen to Wissmiss, she got it exactly right. Go, keep you wife company and keep your opinions to yourself.

Weddings are OK as long as it isn't mine. I wouldn't go and make myself miserable.

You obviously aren’t married!!! It is a good thing you aren’t, you are saving the women of the world from being miserable and unhappy.

Go to the wedding with your wife and show her a good time.
Also, what Wissmiss and ADC said.

I's perfectly reasonable and rationale to be civil to people you disagree with on politics. You get that right?
And nobody cares about what clip on tie you wear

Duh! And clip-on’s are not permitted.

You don’t go to these functions for you or them, you go for your wife and her alone. To you, she’s the prettiest woman there and the bride made a huge mistake by asking her because all you see is her. If she’s going you’re there by her side...and to keep all the other guys at bay. Trust me, I’ve been to quite a few functions where I’d have rather sat at home and pulled my fingernails out with pliers, but my wife was going and I’m her MAN.

When my wife ask me to do something that I don’t want to do or have no interest in I remind myself that she puts up with me and my hobbies and ask for very little in return. It’s a privilege and an honor to spend time with her. Change your perspective on how you look at it.

Nice! Me too!
Just go to the dang wedding.
All else fails, you can make comments about fishing, hunting and trapping and maybe bring a few over, if not, at least you tried.
Hope you go and have a good time, milk the open bar by drinking scotch and flirt with your wife all night. That is what I’d do.

Are you sure you don't have to work that day?
go make the wife happy.
strike up some conversations , use some well researched logic
oh and get the bride something fur for the wedding gift , well if it is something you bring gifts to.
I have all sorts of friends , funny the guy with no less than 5 biden sings in his front yard was asking me how he can get an AR-15 he is an old cop from NYC his wife is the biden nut.
if you never go any were or present the other side logically all they ever hear is "Yeah for our side". present some logical arguments and make them scratch their head is better than them just thinking there is no other side that isn't wearing sheets and carrying the stars and bars.
especially first amendment violations they are often easy to find and they often walk right into the trap.
you never know there may well be there and find someone with a beaver issue or a coon infestation and pick up some ground to trap and maybe even hunt.
5 biden signs has a pond my son can go fish whenever. We don't talk about candidates but he has some good cop stories and I help him with gun questions , after 20 years of no gun he bought a 9mm and is thinking about an AR.
maybe they can stop being useful idiots for a little while and be useful to you.
maybe invite the groom out to shoot , if she is hard core and he comes home after buying a pistol , rifle or shotgun , hey you might shake things up.

I wore a tie a few weeks ago for a meeting, will wear one in a few weeks for job interviews on WebEx.
I like a tie sometimes, then I’ll put on a pair of coveralls and check traps after.

Go for your wife , show her that no matter what she is the most important thing in the world to you. And when you say good bye just till the bride you'll see her the next time too!

Exactly, cuz you 2 are a team, and sometimes ya must "take one for the team".........it's a man thing....and men should not be too proud to take care of their woman....just like when she asks you to pick up "feminine products" on the way thru town.

Sounds like a good plan. Be there to support your wife. Do what comes naturally for trappers.... Sit there, smile and look pretty.

Go. You're not there to support anyone's politics, you're there to support and witness a couple making vows to each other and God. Some things are more important than politics. With marriage treated so lightly.today, new couples need all the support they can get in starting a marriage, especially if it's a second marriage. Second marriages have an even higher divorce rate than first marriages. I say go, leave your politics at the door, wish them well, and leave it at that.

You are free and over 21, do as you please. Your wife does not care one way or the other. She is in the wedding party so you will not be with her. JMO
