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

You can request a reschedule if the duty causes an undue hardship they even give you the form relax OP you'll get off. Ironically, I wonder if it's a messy divorce case?

Do jury duty and you'll be at the courthouse already! Two birds one stone.

They almost surely will excuse you. My mom basically told them where they could put it twice before when she used to keep kids. All she said was that they would be causing a great amount of grief because every parent would have to find someone else to temporarily sit their child/children until my mom returned and they excused her. Just tell them you have already put a significant amount of money into it and sent out invitations and people, including yourself and your betrothed, have asked off work and can't do so again.

I'm pretty sure this can be fixed by asking them to postpone.

You can get an exception or delay off service. Can the court house and tell them that you're getting married and that you've had this planned for some time.

Yeah let's just ditch jury duty and get married. I'm sure a honeymoon in jail is wonderful.

Do you read the comments before you post? It's easy to get out of.

This is what people on "The Mother of All Excuses" website say: "Unless the jury duty summons arrives by a method that proves you received the summons (e.g., registered mail with your signature required), the government entity that issued the summons cannot prove that you ever received the summons. You can just throw it away with the rest of the junk mail." "I get Juror summons every couple of months. I just throw them away. Since its not certified mail, how can they prove I got it." "I have simply thrown them away! I'm 58 and never gone or had a problem with this method yet! I figure I've tossed 30+ in the trash. Who is to say if I got it or not I did not sign anything."

I don't want to be here. I'm voting guilty regardless. then you are free to go.

Just let them know, I am sure you can change it with enough time. They know some people might have weddings, funerals, vacations, business trips, etc. I had jury duty in Miami the same day Justin Bieber had his trial... in Miami! I was hoping to be able to sentence him to a trial by combat or something but instead I ended up watching Sandra Bullock movies and being sent home without pay at the end of the day. Yay, jury duty!
