Weddings

[AndThePickles]

Do you like going to them? I went to a friend's wedding this summer and had a blast dancing and getting drunk but I know a lot of people think they're boring.

I'm going to one tomorrow but it's with my mother and sister so I'm afraid I'll get bored.

Weddings are alright. Like you said, you get to meet a lot of people and talk to them.

I was a best man at the last wedding I was at but that marriage didn't turn out well.

I think it is more boring with family. If you go to a friends wedding, no that is a blast.

 

[SoulManX]

Best wedding I went to was in Charlotte...every kind of meat you wanted, mixed drinks, desserts to die for...price tag 20,000. The marriage lasted 6 months.

 

[AndThePickles]

The one I went to over the summer had an open bar (free) the entire time. It was fantastic.

 

[SoulManX]

But are they worth the money and hassle. Then say the justice of peace and a picnic.

 

[Addendum]

I hate wearing ties, I've never liked going to church, and there's usually something on tv worth watching than going to a wedding.

In college, I turned down being best man for a friend of mine. I told him that it's too much responsibility being a best man and that I was just going to sleep in anyway.

I'm sure they'll be more fun when I'm of legal drinking age.

I went to my first and only jewish wedding and that was off the hook fantastic. High dollar *****es. I'm no longer friends with the bride,marries a corporate lawyer and now she's all high and mighty.
The last one was two years ago in Feb. one of my coworkers;very religious,divorcee. Wouldn't have sex again until he married again,took awhile too cause he's such a chauvinistic ass. He came down the aisle praising god,I guess because he was finally going to get some.

that pretty much sums it all up

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

whether or not the wedding has an open bar is usually the key to whether I enjoy going to it or not

I got to nail one of the bridesmaids at the last wedding I attended.

Wedding receptions are the best parties there are (as long as its not a cash bar). I mean, where else can you take shots with your 90 year old grandmother? Hell, at a wedding you can piss on the floor and no one would look twice.

this sums it up for me as well

Unless you're getting married, marriage ceremony =
The reception (especially if you're in my family), on the other hand =

Standing up, and handing someone a ring is too much responsibility?

Really, I went to weddings before becoming of age and never got carded.

 

[The Original Bamfer]

Going to a wedding and not getting intoxicated? That's unheard of!

If it's a family member's wedding, I wouldn't really be comfortable doing the whole under-age drinking thing.

Then I guess I'm the living embodiment of deaf.

I've only been to two weddings in my life:
1) My mom married my stepdad when I was 10. Fun as hell after the ceremony itself. All my buddies were there, so we had a ton of fun.
2) My stepbrother and his wife. We went to Sanibel Island in Florida... beautiful place. I had a cold, and spending 4 days down there cured it within one day It was a fun place to spend some of my Xmas break. The ceremony was on the beach, really unformal and boring actually. The reception was great fun. This was when I was 16.

Being the best man involves way more than that. You're supposed to plan the bachelor party and just be there doing all the crap that the groom needs you to do. It's a lot of responsibility actually.

Yeah that's how most of them tend to be.

Standing up, and handing someone a ring is too much responsibility?

In the context of a traditional American/British white wedding, the best man's duties typically include:

Organizing a bachelor party (U.S.)/ Stag Night (U.K)/ Buck's Night(Aus.) for the groom
Possibly helping plan or organize some details of the wedding
Getting the groom to the wedding on time
Supervising the groomsmen or ushers
Ensuring the rings are brought to the ceremony (usually they will have been given to the best man either earlier in the day or previously) and then passing these to the bride and groom at the appropriate point in the ceremony
Giving a speech at the wedding and thanking the bridesmaids (in the UK this is supposed to be humorous and to (mildly) embarrass the groom)
Decorating the car of the married couple with soap, ribbons, cans and whipped cream.
