Still, not a very classy move on his part.

I think certain personalities work in a marriage where one (or both) spouse has a job that requires a lot of time away, travel, or other things that aren't standard. I have no problem with a man who has a job like that, as I have my own stuff going on; I would have a problem with the celebrity issue though and people in my business or bothering us when we're just trying to live.

I understand what you mean; I'm kind of the same way. BUT...the professional athlete lifestyle is a lot different. There are many who stay out of that world, but between the groupies, drugs, and crazy lifestyle I can't see myself committing to life with a professional athlete in a sport like football or basketball. Yikes!

I think it's better to cancel the wedding, even in the 11th hour, if you know it's not going to work.

IMO that's better than just going through with it and getting it annulled a day later.

A close friend of mine called off her wedding just a few days before it happened. Both her & the would-be groom notified the guests though, so that they wouldn't just show up. I think he [the basketball dude] should have done the right thing and told people way more than 2 hrs before the ceremony was supposed to begin
