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

There are a million ways to get out of jury duty if push comes to shove just say you're racist...Even better if it's your own race so you got a little crazy going for you too haha

Ditch it. Wedding is more important

Why are you complaining, it's not difficult at all to get out of jury duty if you have a valid excuse.

Has the court ruled this man guilty of being wanting to be your husband? Yes your honor the jury has decided, guilty. -bangs gavial- You may now kiss the bride then

Speak with the Clerk of the Court, I'm sure they will understand. If they say no ask what the fine is for no show.

When your have problems you punch them. Punch your problems!

Call the court and they'll give you a new date.

You people are complicating this way to much. Go to the wedding, then call in afterwards and say you were out of town planning and having a wedding. It's not like there's a camera in the envelope that they use to see exactly when you opened the summons. Hell, I check my mail once a week and have missed a summons or two.

How about the easy thing is just to postpone it. You can't get out of things the way you describe.

You can ger an exception man. Read the dang thing.

When you got your jury summons, there should have been a part attached for reasons you can't start that day. I got summoned the week I was starting a new job as a caretaker for a family that had run out of options. I called the courthouse and explained why I couldn't, they sent me paperwork to fill out, and I sent it back. They contacted me about a week later telling me I was excused. If I can get out of it for a job, you can surely get out of it for a wedding. They'll just reschedule your jury duty. Good luck, and congratulations!

you can always defer to next date..if its a first summon...
