All I know is that the wife better be showing you a "romantic evening" for taking one for the team.

That completely changes everything....... if it is her uncle's 3rd wife and both of you have met her only once.
Send some flowers and get your arse to Tiger Stadium.

Ask the wife. They'll surprise you from time to time. If she wants you to go with her, don't think twice.
I think I'd feel too guilty even if she said yes, just trying to rationalize it.

This doesn't qualify as an Aunt to me( My wife has an aunt by marriage, Uncle's third wife)
Enjoy the game

Its a memorial service for Christ's sake. There is absolutely gonna be a couple hours before the service to be there and visit with everyone and be "seen" by the uncle and family.
I was at a good friend's dad's funeral last week. Went to the funeral home and the church service for a while, then had to go take care of some work. Did NOT need to see the putting in the ground part anyway.
The uncle will be happy to see you there early and he will be pissed that you would miss the game IMHO. If you wouldnt go to an out of town service, why feel obligated to stay the whole time at an in-town service.
Do both!

Just like weddings in the Fall, anybody who dies a couple days before an LSU game where there is a possibility that their service/wake could be on gameday, is just being inconsiderate!

Here's the thing... you go to the funeral/service for this person that you don't know -- your wife will remember it for about an hour.
You go to the game... and not be by her side... man, she will remember that FOREVER.
You can always watch a replay of the game... once you give your wife the memory that you didn't support her... nothing you do will remove it.
just sayin.

Given the situation you described, your wife barely knows the aunt who passed. Seems to me that she's probably not that upset about it. If that's the case, it's probably worth running it by her and feeling out her reaction. I know if it was my wife, she wouldn't care since it's more of an obligatory situation . I think it's worth trying and not morally wrong if your not hurting anyones feelings by not going

Going to the game or watching on TV?
If you've got tickets, go to the game.

Jesus, this reminds me of my friend's sister who planned her wedding the day of the home opener last year. People didn't go and he got butthurt. Probably in a few ways.
In my will there will be a stipulation that if it is gameday for the tigers or saints, there must be a TV at the service with sound, food, and kegs.

I salute you...
I also passed up a wedding to watch LSU/UF.. WTF were they thinking..

If it was your wife's idea for neither of you to go ... then you'd be in the clear.
But..in all seriousness...if she goes...regardless of whether she tells you to go to the game...you'd better be there...or else you will pay for it later, as they forget nothing.
Later on..when you say, "well, you said go to the game"....she will have conveniently come up with revisionist history.
Just be happy it's not the Bama game.
Sorry to hear about your wife's uncle's 3rd wife.

why does your wife want to go? 
Posted on 9/28/10 at 2:35 pm to Ghostfacedistiller
This is one where you take care of the wife, get to a radio as soon as it is over and listen to the silky smooth play by play of Jim Hawthorne. That is of course until you get to the stadium or in front of a TV somewhere.

It's a memorial, go drown your sorrows at a bar afterwards - just make sure they have the LSU game on.
Posted on 9/28/10 at 2:44 pm to WildTchoupitoulas
Send your condolences via your wife, who will attend the funeral while you are at the game.

it wouldn't even be close to a dilemma for me, my wife wouldn't have thought twice about it and we would be at the game, I got a good women with her priorities in line.

She's upset like anyone would be but given the situation, more for the family that the actual deceased -- it could be far worse, relative-wise, but still. If it was a blood relative it would be a whole other story.
yes, I have tickets and planned to go to the game with a friend.
We will talk in greater detail tonight. I think it's more that my wife and my mother in law (who's brother lost the wife) are effectivly the default hosts for a bunch of out of towners simply because of geography. The mother in law is now hosting a "reception?" after the memorial service at her house. This unfortunatly provides me with ample opportunity to watch the game.
I feel I would definetly come accross as an a-hole to many involved. Whether or not that is worth it I can't decide. I will have to guage the wife's thoughts tonight.
