I'm shocked so many don't like weddings. Usually good food, free booze, and dressed up drunk girls dancing...what's not to love?
For me, many involve travel, sitting through a catholic mass, and possibly a hotel stay for at least one night. Plus I have to buy a gift. Free food and booze? Shoot, I usually come out behind for a wedding. I could save money by ordering better food and better booze at home. Bud light seems to be popular at weddings. No wonder its free. Plus I'm not a big fan of being drunk around my kids, which everyone always wants us to bring. Therefore, I hate weddings. Sincerely, Grumpy Old Guy
I've been engaged for two years now, my future wife has not mentioned one of these types of social gatherings. Does that mean I'm in the clear??? God I hope so. It sounds terrible. Although, I can see just getting your close friends together to go out and have a bonfire or do some camping, but we already do that anyways so why night just call it a normal weekend?
I think K and I's engagement party consisted of updating our statuses on facebook. hahahahaha! True to my feminine side... I've been thinking about the wedding reception and the honeymoon. I'm thinking of renting the World Shooting Complex for the reception. (it would be a shotgun wedding as well as rifle, pistol and bows....) A nice, romantic drop camp archery hunt for moose in Alaska for a honeymoon.... A woman can dream, right??
Logic demands that the statute of limitations has expired on the novelty and announcement of an engagement after two years. Wouldn’t the reason for such an event be to make the announcement of the pending nuptials? (that and begging people to give you stuff)
A couple months ago we were invited to an engagement party that was at a nice restaurant and the invitation stated that food and drinks would be provided. It also said...NO GIFTS PLEASE! We showed up to the engagement party and it was actually their wedding.
How many months along was the bride??? This sort of thing makes perfect sense. Get it all over with in one event and get on with your life.
Wait a minute! Not all women are like this. I think all those parties are stupid. Hell, I don't even want to go to my own baby shower this weekend (no, my husband is not going). BS=Baby Shower... Coincidence? Lol
I saw that too. Nobody else noticed? I also think he bears a striking resemblance to the guy from Super Troopers. Shenanigans! Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Nope, not pregnant. They are both in their low 40s and both had owned their own houses so together they already had everything they needed...and more. They just wanted their friends and family to celebrate with them and they knew if they had planned a traditional wedding, people would bring gifts or give money regardless of what the invitation said. This way, if it was just an engagement party and they told them no gifts, then people would be more ok with that thinking they would bring the gifts to the wedding.
You have it all wrong. The promise ring is meant to buy a little more time until you have to drop thousands of dollars for the real thing. It works especially well when given to a gf that constantly nags you about why you haven't popped the question yet. (atleast it worked for me... So far) Sent from my SGH-T959 using Tapatalk 2
