Heh... If you don't want to go, I don't blame you a bit. My friend Tiff would probably really like it... We'll ask her.
It sounds like a good idea...
"Hey Dad, you know those tickets to that marriage seminar...well, I hope it's ok, but we gave them to a friend that couldn't really afford to go but wanted to...and since it's not something that we are in to, I asked her if she'd like our tickets. She is so excited about it."
You come off compassionate and thankful at the same time.
