Thanks for the quick response and clarifying what I wanted. I hadn't realized that I didn't really want to attend the wedding. You're right, it must not have been that important. It was a 5-day stay, and a 3-day wedding, I only missed the first day (which is the least important), but you're right again, I just wanted to get in and get out. Those tedious weddings are always making me think I'm entitled to compensation.
That's exactly why I b*tched incessantly for hours, and didn't simply state my facts and ask for advice. Since it's the first time this has happened in 50+ flights, you are right, it was ridiculous for me to even ask.
I appreciate the fact my story allowed you to respond from the position with an illusion of power to bolster your ego. Statistically, this is proven to help you sleep at night.
Yanno.

If you really wanted to attend the wedding, you would have flown in the day before. It just wasn't that important. You wanted to get in and get out (and who can blame you, it's somebody else's tedious wedding) but you are not entitled to compensation for that...
And you know that. Even Northwest wouldn't comp you for that, get over it!!! We're not stupid just because we're from the south, yanno!
