Do you consider weddings to be an excusable absence?

Teaching / Pedagogy

Let's say that you allow students to make up an exam if the absence is considered excusable (illness, traveling athlete with the school, attending a conference, etc.).

I'm unsure how to handle weddings - on one hand, attending what is essentially a party doesn't feel like a valid reason to miss an exam, but on the other hand I understand it's a family event and that you as a college student likely have no say in scheduling it.

Would you allow a makeup exam if a student had to attend a wedding?
