What would you do if you were given a ticket to see your favourite team in a major final (lets say Brazil in the World Cup final) and the match just happens to clash with your wedding day?

The results of the poll are on the BBC siteFor the other folks who dont follow football, think about the situation if the F1 season went down to the wire and

There is this guy in my lab who has a similar problem - except that his wife might deliver a baby on the same day as the World Cup Finals and he is still deciding about buying the ticket. Actually, there is also a deal involved: at his wedding, his wife had promised him the world cup finals ticket. Considering how hard they are to get... it is a Situation. What would you do?

Hmm the devil's alternative. Sounds a lot like a situation where I heard about the wife telling the guy that you either be present at the birth or better not be at home when I arrive.

Of course, with this thought on both the couple's minds, I can also easily imagine the girl smiling sweetly holding up the ticket and just daring the guy to take up the offer

I also imagine that next, he grabs the ticket and runs, thinking he can always make up later, but the match would of course not repeat. I would agree with that choice :D

Which is harder, making a baby or getting the ticket?

Depends on who you are :-P

for the woman, I am sure the baby part would have been really tough. For the guy, it would feel almost the same :)

Get the doctor and the wife and make her deliver in the staduim. And , yes this time he can actually yell gooooooooool! and mean something else....

[bluesmoon]

you don't need a doctor to deliver a baby

[rashmiprasad]

Now see, that would mean 3 expensive tickets. I guess it would be more feasable to go for one!

[hitesh]

Umm, whose side are you on

[rashmiprasad]

She promised. So she shouldn't complain if he does go. And he ... well, it is a tough choice for him :)
