Just go to a GA and say that your wife is terribly ill and has to make an emergency trip to a hospital and that you will not be able to make your connection.
I'd advise against any excuse which may prompt them to ask for a doctor's note. I got drunk at the bar is probably also not good
I've played the "I thought the flight was at time X" more than once, and it's always worked....
