...going to enjoy myself.? I was invited to go to this savvy wedding of a relative of mine and my brother and sister are going solo and said i should go along. But i'll end up missing 2 days of classes for a 3 day trip and most of the time, it seems like, will be spent on the plane. Plus i'm shy and it is usually awkward for me to "mingle" at weddings. But i've never been to california.
What do you think?
 
Dang, Myth got that one SPOT ON!

Seriously, your question indicates that your mind is already made up. And there's nothing we can do to open a closed mind.

But why not use this as an excuse to grow a little bit? Why are you shy? Sounds like you're insecure. Make a game out of it. Challenge yourself. See how many new people you can meet. If you never step out of your comfort zone.

Trust me. Missing a couple classes for a once in a lifetime trip to California is SO worth it! 20 years from now, you won't even remember which classes you missed. But you'll remember the trip to California.
 
How likely are you to rent a car or find a tour and go exploring without your brother and sister. If the answer - is not hardly - you won't see much more than what you would see at any wedding and just be able to stick a pin in the map to say been there.

You will have 5-6 hours tops on the plane - For a wedding the only thing you are obligated for is the wedding and reception - 5 hours tops - that give you some time to do at least minimal sight seeing but if you have to stay connected to your family - won't do anything.

Your ability to have fun and see some things it TOTALLY up to you - if it's something that you are not willing to do on your own - and would begrudge the time away for classes - don't go.
 
you have to decide if it's worth traveling that far for only a few days. i personally do not go on flights that are 6 hours or longer if i'm not staying for at least 2 weeks. you won't be able to see anything in california really if you're not going for that long, since as you said, you'll be spending a lot of time traveling and you'll be at the wedding. tell them you're sorry, but then say that you'll plan a longer trip to see them another time so you can have fun and congratulate them at the same time.
