wedding planning...

[Andrew37]

SHOOT ME. For the love of god, if you're considering it, DO NOT PROPOSE. Stay unmarried forever, or, if you must, then just elope. Don't invite anybody.

They dont tell you this, but I'm telling you now, a wedding is not about the bride and groom, apparently it's all about keeping the families happy and doing what they want!

YOU'VE ALL BEEN WARNED!


I'm going to get drunk :leaving:

You're doing it wrong.

10 guests. At BIL's backyard overlooking the ocean. Total cost, including rings, lunch, pastor's fee: under 3k. :dance: :hurray: :yesnod:

Perzactly. A wedding is a loud party that costs too much. A marriage is a shared journey that makes your life richer.

Look- you aren't getting it. The wedding is all about your wife to be and her mother planning a big party. Your only job is to show up- and stay the hell out of the way until that time comes.

44, never been married. Don't plan to, either.


Thanks for the confirmation. :cheers:

Which is why I'm staying out of the planning, it's bridezillas party I just happen to be there.

:lol: apparently he thought getting married would be all kinds of fun...men have no clue about getting married...apparently they do it to keep their female happy :rofl::rofl::rofl:

[Andrew37]

what you're all misunderstanding is it's NOT my future bride who is doing ANY of the bitching... its our mothers and sisters causing the issues by getting their nose into it and trying to change OUR plans (that we agreed to together, the two of us).

My future wife is the one trying to calm me down :lol:

Why are you letting them butt in??? It's your wedding and your marriage. Good grief.

[grainalkahaul]

think the wedding planning is bad, wait till you get to the divorce.

[NEED-A-VETTE]

We eloped to Hawaii. Hired a wedding planner to set up a simple ceremony on the beach. Took my sister and my daughter with us and that was it. Easy.

50% of the time a "shared journey" down shit river.........:kick:

[73sbVert]

That's one of the cool things about being a guy: wedding plans just get done! We show in time to do the deed.

Remember, the wedding is for the bride. The honeymoon is for the groom!

If you can get away with NOT getting married though, I would highly recommend it!

That's why we did Vegas.

Told everyone where we would be and if they wanted to fly out on their own dime they were welcome to come and that I would buy them dinner..

Ended up being 25 close family and friends. We had a blast..:yesnod:

We saved a small fortune too..

[yell01]

My only input into my wedding was that the bar stays open during dinner. Since my FIL is a big drinker that wasn't an issue. Although nobody believed it when they were told and stocked up before dinner. This may have been a contributing factor to a lot of people being really fecked up!.

[dwjz06]

Wedding, I'm getting married in 2weeks.

to the girl in your old avatar from CF with the LSU tshirt? If so congrats man. And remember it is easier to get into them (marriages) then out of them.:D:lol::cheers:

[Montehall]

tell her you want a NASCAR themed wedding... after that, it'll take care of itself.

Here's what my wife and I did. We basically "eloped" to Maine to get married. The only ones invited were were the parents and the one remaining grandmother.

NO brothers/sisters/cousins or any body else.

We were married by my childhood best friend ( he's an ordained minister ) over looking the Atlantic Ocean where the York River flows into it.

The next day we flew to the Bahamas for our week long honeymoon.

Total cost ( 1999 ) was under $4k ( we paid for her parents to fly up to ME from PA ).

No extra bullshit with those "extra" women trying to upscale YOUR wedding at YOUR expense.

Key phrase for your sweetie to say to the other six Exactly who is getting married here?

Good luck

[Luetic]

sounds great. I think we're gonna invite 4 friends to a remote local and have everything prefaded. no hassel, no drama, no family. :shots:

I disagree with this. I feel that if someone is having a big event in their life, I need to be involved. Otherwise I would feel offended, lied to and would take it personal.
