<b>Ever</b>
Had she not reacted this way, would you still suddenly "want" to go to the wedding? I would imagine your answer is "Hell no! Who wants to go to a crummy, old wedding when there's 6 keggers at 5 Points New Year's night!" Fact is, you aren't going to pull one over on her regarding the wedding. Her outburst and subsequent cold shoulder has been highly effective at getting you to do what she wants. Your sudden change of heart regarding the pending nuptuals have not gone unnoticed, but things aren't suddenly going to be perfect - now that you manned-up to the wedding thing. She knows (no matter what you say) that it was her behavior that prompted the change of heart. So, you aren't going to get much credit for this move, just yet.
Getting your credit is a timing issue. If you said you were willing to go to the wedding, leave it at that. Don't say it again until your day-to-day routines return to the usual. Then, one Friday night, rent Casablanca and get a bottle of wine. Great couch, great wine, great movie, great girl, great life. Bogie is standing on the tarmac as Ingrid flies off. You turn and say, "You know, I'm really looking forward to flying with you to the wedding. I always like talking about rabbit hunting with your Uncle Jed." Here's looking at you...getting your freak on all over that poor couch. Okay, so maybe I'm just making this shit up as I go along.
