Can't help if people actually want me to be best man and at their wedding SH. You never have that problem though :) 

Would refuse though for the finals.

I'd be shocked if your mate didn't encourage you to go although he mustn't be a football fan if he's getting married in middle of euro's


In fairness, the date could have been fixed two years ago. I wouldn't blame the mate at all.

And OP, go to the game. First of all, though, make sure that it is okay with Carlsberg. You wouldn't want them to say you have to attend some publicity sh*te the day after the match, and you sure as hell wouldn't want them coming after you for the full cost of the trip for you not living up to your end of the bargain.


Of course you should. The euros were always going to be on in June of 2012. 

June July and August for Odd years and July and August for Even Years. 

Throw in december January if you fancy a winter wedding and that leavel you well covered for any international Ireland match. 


Ah yeah, but the date might have been fixed after the Russia home game, when, lets face it, only the most optimistic fans thought we had a chance.

Irrelevant of Ireland qualifying people should not be having weddings during a major championship. 

July August  Dec and Jan, they are the valid months only.

you should try and make it ger. Id be surprised a 2am flight would be dealyed given the weather should be perfect. ryanair usually good at getting in on time. Of all airlines they wouldnt want delays, time is money and all that. worst case is the plane being delayed by a couple of hours still would get you to dunlin by 6am. Check all planes trains and automobiles and see the last connection you cant get that lands you in belfast by 10am. Surely the wedding isnt that early anyway so your mate will hopefully be cool with you landing a bit later. chat to your mate and see what he thinks.

Flight due in at 03:45. It takes (about) 20 minutes to get from landing to the bus stop, so even if the flight was an hour late, there'd be no issue. Bus at 05:20. Into Belfast at 07:25, in advance of the rush hour traffic. Even the 06:20 - 08:25 bus might work, although traffic into Belfast may be an issue at that hour of the morning (I speak from limited experience about 5 years ago). So, you don't even need to drive, assuming you are picking up the suit etc in Belfast. Sleep may be an issue, though.

God Ger you are a plank at times .
Think if it was your wedding what would you say to a lad who had just won a great trip to the Euro's ?
I remember last Thursday at the meeting when you asked who wasn't going to the Euro's and you were the only person in the room was until today wasn't going , trust me the look on your face said it all .
The only problem I can see is who are you going to take , I would say play safe and take the groom at least you know that they will not start without you both .
TAKE THE TRIP ......................

Congratulations Clap If I was in your position I wouldn't think twice about going to the match. Anyone that plans a wedding during a major championship should expect that people will not make the wedding. Bad planning on their part Thumbs Down

Was it on the "Road to the USA" or "the Charlton Years" where some couple were all dressed up in Dublin airport heading off to the US after canelling their wedding cause Irl had qualified?!
 
Agreed on here... odd years, summer is fine. Even years, wise up: mid July onwards. Bit OTT but got married in August myself and felt guilty that lads were waking up early cause of the 5 hour time difference to watch the first day of the Premier League!
 
Anyway, go to both. Overpay to get back for the wedding and you'll be grand. Would there not be a flight option from Gdansk to London to Belfast. Have a loyal mate meet you up there with all your bags?

Guys don't give a sh*t who goes to the wedding it's only some girls who give a damn about that.
