Unfortunately my brothers wedding lands during the exact same time as my graduation and it’s going to be a ton of fun, he’s got this nice venue picked out on the beach and we get to stay there 3 days in advance for it so and so forth, however I’ve also heard that graduation is pretty important and it’s a big deal.. so which should I attend? Those who’ve graduated is it worth it?
How worth it was it to walk for your graduation?

I skipped graduation and do not care at all. Never once have I thought, man I wish I had gone to graduation.
On the flip side, my brother is married and I went to his wedding. If I had missed that, I know I would regret being there for him on such a special day.
It all comes down to your priorities. What’s more important to you.
I reckon that it’s a pretty important moment in a lot of people’s lives when they graduate. It’s kind of like officially opening up a new chapter of life. I’ve had a few mates who didn’t walk at graduation and they don’t seem too fussed about it though. To be fair they hated school and everything to do with it. It’s tricky because they are both big milestones in life. But I reckon if you’re concerned much with school that you go to your graduation. Otherwise you may be wondering what it’s like for the rest of your life.
It was great. My last year I went to my local high school (went to private school from 1-11th grade) and I got to walk with my best friend since childhood. Was really special to me.
I skipped my graduation. But I really enjoyed watching my twins graduate.
So I have to ask. Were you a stellar student that’s gonna get awards and are going on to college or something similar? If so I’d say go to graduation. Odds are your brother is gonna have another wedding in a decade or so.
If you were like most folks, myself included, and were an average to below average student. Then skip graduation and go to the wedding.
youre graduating, so you got all the credentials you need. the actual graduation ceremony is just to showcase it to family, friends, colleagues, etc. in my opinion, the wedding would be a better experience for you, seeing as though youre seeing your brother on a once in a lifetime (HOPEFULLY) celebration. if it was me? i’d say scratch the graduation, go to the wedding.
It’s not important at all.
My graduation was not worth it for me, I couldn’t tell you what people said in their speeches or what kids won what awards or anything like that. The only thing I really remember was the entire time I was at graduation I was wishing I could just leave.
If you gave me the option of going to what’s essentially just a school assembly or spending 3 days having a blast hanging out with my family and going to the beach followed by a wedding, I’m taking the wedding every time hands down
