"Honestly, you say \"he is not college level\" as far as wrestling. He was going to state championship.  My cousin was not a high ranking enough player when you considered kids at bigger schools to get a huge football contract at a big 10 school, but football helped him get in the door at a smaller school that he would not otherwise got into.  You never know what kids get noticed.   \nI do think you should have chosen another wedding date. You put him in an impossible position, actually. If he didn't go to the wedding, he may be viewed differently by his new step family and get off on the wrong foot, and also not be there for his mom, and on the other hand, how often does going to the state championship as a senior etc, happen.  A kid that did that his senior even if he doesn't get on the college team looks better than the kid who slacked off his senior year.   \nOn the other hand, a relative's kid and husband missed a family wedding because they had a ball game.  They are in 5th grade and middle school. missing one game doesn't really mean a hill of beans.   \nyou can't work around every guest but your parents and children should be considered. "
