Today, I got a letter in the mail telling me to report for jury duty. The day that I have to show up is the day of my wedding. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after sleeping in, I finally sorted through a stack of mail I had been putting off and I found a Jury summons. Thinking it must be coming up soon, I checked the date, my appearance is scheduled for 7:45am on November 16th. Today is November 17th. FML
Today, I came home after spending two days in the hospital for suicidal ideation and found a summons for jury duty in the mail. FML
Today, my family has begun preparations for my dad's birthday party. We figured out that the closest date that will work is the fifth of June. Also today, I got a letter in the mail. I have jury duty. Take a wild guess what day it's on. FML
Today, after moving back in with my parents, I found out they had held on to a chunk of mail still being sent during the time I had been changing my old address. Included was a summons to jury duty. FML
Today, I found out that my fiancé is going to be deployed on our wedding day. FML
Today, I found out that I have to reschedule my upcoming honeymoon because my office will be understaffed that week, due to the boss going on vacation right after my wedding. Oh, yeah, and he's in my bridal party. FML
Today, I got a letter from the state that I'm being divorced. I've never been married. FML
Today, my fiancée decided to go on a "vacation." Our wedding is tomorrow. FML
Today, I was told there was a bench warrant out for my arrest because a notice to appear for jury duty was sent to my old address and I never responded. I haven't lived at my old address for 2 years. FML
Today, I accidentally slept in two hours later than I was supposed to. Today is my wedding day. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I was just able to postpone mine for 2 months and gave the excuse of an unreschedulable doctor appointment and minor surgery. I'm certain they'd let you postpone a few weeks for your wedding.

I'm sure you'll be able to get out of jury duty. Congratulations on the wedding!

Just say you are going on vacation that day or week.

Well why don't you have your wedding during the trial?? You get your wedding AND you show up for jury duty... Win-win situation for you and the government. ;)

Yeah...because every woman dreams of getting married while their groom is doing jury duty. That's real romantic! Hey, while they're at it why don't they spend their honeymoon in a cell and "do time" to get the full experience of a GREAT wedding day/honeymoon? And for lingerie, a sexy orange jumpsuit! win NOT win

@53 I think you missed the fact that 22 was joking.

My mum got out of doing it with the excuse that she was breastfeeding. Pretty easy to get out of. :)

If everything was booked in advance you will get off. Same logic as pre-planned holidays.

I am quite sure you will be excused from serving. It's your wedding after all
