Maybe the whole thing was a scam. Anybody can just get engaged and get presents and just keep them all.

Even though we lived in Jersey, he had season tickets for 6 seats to the Orioles. That was cool for a while. Driving 2 hours to get there sucked. My biggest regret was choosing not to go to Ripken's 2131st game.

this one always gets people's attention!  “I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once again able to defend our Island home, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone. At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do. That is the resolve of His Majesty’s Government-every man of them. That is the will of Parliament and the nation. The British Empire and the French Republic, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength. Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God’s good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.”

Who writes to somebody telling them they're NOT invited? Is he quite the full ticket?
Yes, he is a knave.

I've been to enough weddings to last a lifetime. I've been to two weddings in one day for Christ's sake. If nobody ever invites to a another wedding, I'll be happy. I've blocked my own wedding out of my mind. I can tell you more about most of the weddings I've been to than I can tell you about my own-- and I'm still happily married. The whole ordeal is entirely unnecessary.

The reference to 'the New World' is obvious, but also earlier, they way he drops his voice down just a tad, "...if necessary alone." Translation, "Any time you guys want to stop profiting off this war and actually help us save the world, that would be great." The speech had three intended audiences. 1. The British people, of course. 2. The US government. 3. Hitler. Somebody needed to tell Hitler it wasn't going to be a cakewalk. You aren't just rolling over us like you did the continent. Though when you think about it, it does reveal a certain defeatist mentality. While he's going on and on about not surrendering, he's painting a picture of a relentless Nazi advance. First they're fighting on the seas, then the beaches, then the streets and finally the hills. Sounds like you never gave up but you still lost. Well the Battle of Britain gave Hitler pause; if he only knew how close the UK was to the breaking point he would've continued a few more weeks at least. As it is, Herr Dummy gave up and decided it made much more sense to invade Russia and fight a war on two fronts, one of which sent Napoleon packing 130 years earlier. Good move. Anyway, Churchill had his flaws, but you have to admit he was the right man at the right time. And marriage is indeed a global conflict, so I totally understand how we got here.

You should write back and say you are going to show up anyways. And, that you are going to make a toast and he can suck on it.
Then just stay home and catch the games. Or phone in a bomb threat on the wedding.

I would just show up with some Ring-Dings and a liter of Pepsi. Go all Constanza on his ass. Start a grease fire while you're there, then knock over old ladies and kids as you bolt out of there. |

I hate weddings and wedding receptions.
When we got married, it was mid summer. On the invitation, we said, "Casual dress, but not TOO casual". And we had a cookout. Burgers, hot dogs, shit like that. We wanted to have a fun party, not the receptions that you have been to 10,000 times. Same old meat tray, potato salad, sticky fucking rigatoni all the inedible shit. The way some people reacted, you would have thought it was clothing optional and we were sacrificing small animals to Satan. And who the fuck want to wear a suit and a dress in August, let alone a gown or a tux? We heard quite a few times "This isn't a wedding reception, no dollar dance, no throwing the garder, no crummy food". Fuck them.

Good lord, sounds like a spiteful jerk. You should give him all new contact info that does not, in reality, belong to you. Do you know if he owes someone money or know of someone he's otherwise dodging? You could send him that person's contact info with a note saying "How to reach me...", then immediately block him on your real email and phone.
