THE LAST-MINUTE WEDDING DASH
Two married members of a wedding party race against time, planning to catch a flight with barely any wiggle room, leaving everyone else wondering whether the trip will make it.
Is twenty minutes enough for that flight dash?

The wedding party's flight is already hanging by a thread: the maid of honor and best man, who are married, plan to show up with only "HOPEFULLY 20 minutes" to spare for parking, getting to the terminal, and making it through TSA.
"Should I be pissed," the poster asked, laying out the problem in a single breath. The issue wasn't a delayed drive or a missing bag. It was the timing. Their MOH and BM had decided they could catch their flight to the destination with barely any cushion at all.
The poster spelled out the math in the question itself: "Would anyone else be pissed their MOH and BM (married) plan on catching their flight to destination with HOPEFULLY 20 minutes for parking, getting to terminal and getting through tsa with the hopes of boarding takes usually 30-40 mins?"
That was the sticking point. Twenty minutes had to cover the scramble from the car, the walk to the terminal, security, and whatever line TSA decided to throw at them. Boarding, meanwhile, usually took 30 to 40 minutes. In other words, the couple was planning to arrive with less time than the boarding process typically required.
The concern was simple and immediate: if they showed up that late, would they actually make it onto the plane? The poster seemed to think the answer was obvious enough to be worth asking about at all. The timing was so tight it verged on impossible, especially for a trip tied to a destination event where other people were likely counting on them.
The post didn't mention the reason for the rush, or whether the pair had a backup plan. It just left the image hanging there: two members of the wedding party, married to each other, banking on a last-minute airport dash and hoping the clock would cooperate.
