    I really don't understand the mentality of people on these forums. Have none of you been to the internet before? Maybe it's because I've been on different forums for 10+ years now that topics like these are commonplace and unsurprising. What I DON'T understand is why people come in here and feel the need to pass judgement on the OP rather than 1 -joining in the conversation or 2- ignore the topic and move on to one that doesn't offend you in some way.

    I just get really tired of trying to enjoy myself in the "Chit-Chat, Fun and Games" forum and running into so many people who want to shoot down topics for one reason or another. Super annoying.

    I know right? Where is the outrage? The horror?

    Maybe dry weddings are more common than I thought. Which is scary in and of itself.

    I went to a wedding once and found out AFTER the fact it was dry. Thankfully I roll to all weddings packing hooch in the car. I broughtt a great gift too - I should always bring a substitute cheap gift in case someone pulls the unannounced dry move again.

    Yes. Too subtle, just like your apparent insecurity....

    Okay. You're right. I'm insecure and sharing this totally true store about my actual cousin and not at all making a reference to multiple threads. Which is why I used terms like 'momcousin' and 'mommom' and someone asked if I was taking my 'Man Brother' as an escort.

    Because of my insecurity. You have hit the nail on the head and figured me out. Darn social media.

    No cake and no booze? Can it even be considered a wedding at that point?

    No idea. It just sounds like a really depressing and long family gathering if you ask me.

    And no gelato either. Basically happiness is not allowed here.

    My family has cake and booze at every occasion. Even funerals. I say skip it.

    Can your family adopt me?

    I believe I shall skip it. I'll just tell people I lack the funds to make the trip. Done and done.

    F-it, tell them the truth, it's not the lack of funds, it's the lack of cake, booze and respect. Others that have to go will appreciate you speaking up for everyone, I know I would

    You're clearly a wise man, and very well prepared to boot.

    It's fine. Sequels are never as good as the original/the reboot. I played it too straight and expected little things (like the title and goofy terms) would be enough but around here you gotta go big.

    You need to go - then sleep with the bride (and groom) separately. They will love you so much they will get you cake.

    Baking my own cake would be a thousand times cheaper. Literally.
    But I thought the new thing this week was sweet rolls with colored cool whip. No cake. No cupcakes.

    Don't go.


    Free booze and cake are the only redeeming qualities of attending a wedding of someone you don't like. And if you're being made to a wear a dress you're not happy with then free booze and cake is all the more necessary.

    Save your cash and buy lots of cake and champagne and toast to their marriage from the comfort of your home.

    I went to a wedding last year that had no booze and no cake. It was miserable. Don't go.

    The important question is : "What type of food is being served at the reception?" and "Is the DJ/Band any good?". I mentioned this before about a wedding and some got really miffed, but the reality is MOST people attend to a wedding to party.

    I honestly don't get why you seem so upset over something that is pretty common around here/is all in fun. Seems like you need to relax.

    I wouldn't take time out of my life, or job, to fly to attend a wedding for someone I didn't like.
