The wedding clashes with the AFL Grand Final in Melbourne - serving up a challenge of priorities for many of the guests, no doubt.
Perhaps no one will struggle more with this than the minister who is officiating at the wedding of his long-term family friends. He is also Chaplain to the Collingwood football team.
I might be a hopeless romantic without a flicker of interest in football of any description (it's all I can do to pay attention during my own daughter's soccer matches), but even I can see the quandary here.
Start today
Often, when two priorities clash, we try to find a way to meet both expectations at least partially.
Sometimes, though, we're faced with what feels like an impossible choice. We simply can't be in two places at once, and must let someone down.
When this happens, it's a good idea to choose to be at the event you would later regret missing the most.
Once you've made your decision, throw yourself into being there 100%. Anything less, and you might as well have missed both occasions - which doesn't do justice to either.
