    I would be there. Wouldn't care about the attire, because frankly, I really don't like dressing up no matter what.

    However, the point about the anniversaries every year is a great point. Good luck with that:D

    Try telling your groomsman they're wearing pink ties and pocket squares:D

    My Anniversary is Oct 21. I would rather be with my wife any day than in the treestand. You will manage. But dude, opening day? Why not maybe the next week?:eek:

    Missing one day of hunting for your friends wedding is not a big deal at all. I might make a joke or two, but actually considering not coming is immature and ridiculous.

    My buddy did the same thing, we gave him a ration for the date but then laughed at him for a few years because his anniversay weekend was always the opener. He had to give up deer hunting opening day because the wife would always plan little getaways for their anniversary on opening weekend.

    Now he's divorced and dating some other woman and we remind him of which dates he can't get married on.

    I would be there without question! I would be more concerned about the future anniversaries,being reminded that you are hunting on yor anniversary would be an issue I wouldn't want to deal with.Hopefully you spelled your future hunting out in the prenup!

    I just talked to the fiancee about this, and she assured me that I would still be able to hunt during the day, as long as we did something that night.

    But then she mentioned that we might want to have a weekend getaway for our anniversary some years.

    I don't think she understands that a weekend in the woods is my weekend getaway.

    For the origanal question I would give you crap but I would be there. Second I planned my kids, wedding and other dates around hunting season. I have no guilt about being somewhere else instead of anniversies or birthdays. The only thing that gets in the way is my wifes birthday in October but it's early in October so not that bad for hunting.

    You have to think of the long term.:rolleyes:
