I treated the whole wedding thing like a relay race. Me putting the ring on her finger was me passing the baton and watching her turn and start her leg of the race. I then leisurely meandered across the midfield and regained my breath by the time we met at the finish line, where we then partied our asses off.
Interesting analogy.

Let the woman plan everything. You want no part in that nonsense. Open bar. Make the ceremony short as balls. Ummm thats pretty much it.
This is the secret. That was my approach. Great advice.

Something that wasn't mentioned...if like her family is a bunch of small town folks they won't think your two different kegs of craft beer are any good. They'll pound the three kegs of Bud Light you have in an hour then come running that you ran out of beer and it's a life or death rough ridin' emergency. At that point just look at them and say you don't give a crap and keep getting drunk on the good beer and they'll scramble on their own to get more kegs. You see there's always that one guy that wants to be the party hero but it doesn't have to be you on your wedding night.

And the florist now calls me like once a week to inquire about do I want deep red, blood red, bright red, super soppy pink red. And then my maid of honor calls me daily -- not to talk about friend stuff -- but who I want to invite to showers and can I find their addresses. What bridal shower games do I want... UM Effing NONE.

Most guys feel exactly like this. It seems you guys are spending a bunch of money for nothing. Also, no one other than your mom and the grandparents care about the ceremony.
If I were you, I would spend that money on a sweet honeymoon, actually get married on said honeymoon, then throw a reception when you get back for fam/friends. From a guy's perspective, that is the ideal wedding.

if you're in kc there's a guy named jim powers who does engagement/wedding session for $850 total. my coworker used him and he's awesome. I booked him about a week ago. he gives you a two hour engagement session anywhere in the metro area. for the ceremony he shows up at 8 AM and doesn't leave until midnight. takes great pics...just an older dude who doesn't charge much because he doesn't need to.
my coworker said that when he was done at the end of the night, he just handed them a DVD with 4400 pictures on it. :sdeek:
obviously pretty basic service but you can save a ton of money by just taking his copyright released pics and making them into albums, frames, etc., using online services.
he's also super laid back. asked him if he needed a deposit and he was like, "naw, just pay me on the day of the wedding, it's whatev." I get the sense he just loves taking pics and would do it for free if asked.

Dobbs, I bought a Sony Mavica 1.2MP cam for $440 in 1999 the summer after my Soph yr....so, yeah, they had them. But I am pretty sure they topped out at like 3MP then and that cam prob cost like $5k at the time and produced images that you wouldn't want your wedding saved as.

Purchasing the photos is still a large part of the expense. Very few photographers would give you the copyright on the photos, and nobody will make copies of photos that look professionally done for you.

Bride has a good friend in Seattle, not in the wedding, who is a pro photog of weddings and babies and stuff. Thinking of asking her. Should we expect her to cut us a deal since she's good buds with Ms. SB or should we pay her what she would normally get? Or, if we offered to buy her flight to NOLA and pay for her hotel room in exchange for her services, would she see that as an insult? Or what? She's pretty laid back most of the time.

She's friends with your fiancé. Have them discuss it. She won't offer to do anything she's not comfortable with.

She barely cares too, it's pretty awesome. That's why we picked this one venue, because they handle all the food, booze, tables/chairs/linens, etc. we looked at a few places where we would've had to do more legwork and she was like, "F this, let's go with the place where we do less work." But yeah, I bet pro photos of the reception might actually be worth the investment. I guess.

OK cat, what's the protocol for this?:
Bride has a good friend in Seattle, not in the wedding, who is a pro photog of weddings and babies and stuff. Thinking of asking her. Should we expect her to cut us a deal since she's good buds with Ms. SB or should we pay her what she would normally get? Or, if we offered to buy her flight to NOLA and pay for her hotel room in exchange for her services, would she see that as an insult? Or what? She's pretty laid back most of the time.
OK will be able to provide a more definitive answer, but from what I've seen on wedding photog blogs, some of them want to just attend friends weddings as guests without having to worry about photos, some are willing to do photos. Best bet is probably to approach her as you would any other wedding photographer, and she can say "Oh, I'd like to just attend," or "I'd love to take photos, and I can cut you a deal." But approach it like you're going to pay her the usual rate for her work. It's her business; it's up to her to offer to give you discounted services based on friendship.

Girlfriend just dragged me to my first "don't know anyone except my gf" wedding/reception a couple weeks ago, it was horrible. Like, the wedding itself was nice and there was pretty good food and free beer but I absolutely hated spending that much time around ~300 people I had never met. Plus, it was in her hometown in Nebraska so we were there the whole weekend and I got screwed out of a few hundred dollars (had to miss a big baseball tournament I was asked to umpire that weekend). All in all, I'd rather pay Mike Tyson to use my testicles as a punching bag instead of doing that again. Pulling that crap during football season would be an offense worthy of a break up.

Any of you marriedcats have Adults Only reception? Is it weird or unreasonable to ask that? Because we're going to do it anyway. (First of all, it's really rough ridin' expensive to put on weddings even when you're a :kstategrad:. Every head that walks through the door costs like a billion dollars. Secondly, it's in New Orleans and is going to be a total boozefest shitshow and we want the adults to have fun. Third, been reading a lot of wedding blogs lately you guys and it seems like sometimes when there are a thousand kids there it's often chaotic and turns into a bit of a romper room. :eek: Fourth, really small venue. Precious few seats, both at the ceremony and the reception.
I guess what I'm asking is does this mean I have to provide childcare at the hotel or what? Because we're considering it since so many people will be coming from out of town.

So I think we're going to do a hard and fast NO KIDS on this one for both the ceremony and reception. At first I felt like this would be a dick move, but in Googling it apparently it's a pretty common thing to put "Adults only" on the invitation...and even after this it's still common for at least one dillweed to call and ask if she can bring her little angel. :don'tcare:
Any of you marriedcats have Adults Only reception? Is it weird or unreasonable to ask that? Because we're going to do it anyway. (First of all, it's really rough ridin' expensive to put on weddings even when you're a :kstategrad:. Every head that walks through the door costs like a billion dollars. Secondly, it's in New Orleans and is going to be a total boozefest shitshow and we want the adults to have fun. Third, been reading a lot of wedding blogs lately you guys and it seems like sometimes when there are a thousand kids there it's often chaotic and turns into a bit of a romper room. :eek: Fourth, really small venue. Precious few seats, both at the ceremony and the reception.
I guess what I'm asking is does this mean I have to provide childcare at the hotel or what? Because we're considering it since so many people will be coming from out of town.
Is this like a destination wedding? Are either you or her from NO?

Never heard of anyone banning kids at a wedding. Probly people with kids just won't come at all.

Well yeah, that's what it is.
I hadn't really heard of it either but apparently it's extremely common.

I think that if you wanted no kids but wanted people with kids to come and have a good time, booking some child care at the hotel would be a pretty stand up thing to do, and show those people that you actually want them to come and have a good time.
Yeah I think that's what we'll do. Seems like a good compromise/gesture of good faith. We definitely want people to bring their kids on the trip if they want to...Plus, the parents are coming to New Orleans, so (at least the few that I've talked to right now) seem like they want a night off from the kids to get super blasted in the Crescent City. The main issue is we don't have seats in the place for the at least 20 kids who would come. But also it's just wasteful to pay a ton of money for each kid who A) won't eat/booze much anyway, and B) will probably too young to remember anything anyway.

People that send invitations get to set some terms, people who receive invitations get to decide whether they want to accept those terms and come. All the points you made are from the perspective of a guest at a wedding, most of the stuff he posted is from the perspective of someone planning a wedding. These are two different parties, their interests may not always align perfectly. If you are butthurt enough not to show only because you are not allowed to bring your kids, then the terms of the invitation were an excellent filter.
none of my points were "from the perspective of a guest at a wedding". you should go back and reread.

wife and I planned a no-kids wedding. everyone we invited that has kids still came to wedding without a fuss. it was an intimate moment for us and didn't want the screaming, spinning around on the dance floor distractions that come with the little ones. no offense to kids or people who have them, as i'm sure we'll have some of our own someday as well. it was our day, mostly paid for by us, and we planned it the way we wanted to. and everyone had a great time.
a whole lot of i's and we's and us's and our's in those few sentences. glad to hear "your day" was a "special" one though. dorks. enjoy your fajitas the next time you two eat out at a mexican restaurant.

my actual opinion- if you are going to have a wedding then you decide who is important enough in your life to get an invitation. then you turn the decision of whether or not they bring their family (spouse, children) over to them. because hey let's face it, this person is pretty darn important to you, warrants an invitation to your wedding, is giving up their time to come see you get married and is an adult capable of making adult decisions.
but hey that's just me and i'm maybe weird that way. as a side note, i also let my wedding guests pick out their own clothes and decide on their own when they needed to use the bathroom during the reception.

Nobody will be having any fun with you anyway. Kids at weddings annoy the hell out of me as a guest and every damn time I want to punch the parents square in their fat rough ridin' faces. Oh look, neither of you are very attractive and you had a couple mediocre at best kids. Great job assholes is what I say. Thanks for subjecting everyone else to your mistakes.

Girlfriend just dragged me to my first "don't know anyone except my gf" wedding/reception a couple weeks ago, it was horrible. Like, the wedding itself was nice and there was pretty good food and free beer but I absolutely hated spending that much time around ~300 people I had never met. Plus, it was in her hometown in Nebraska so we were there the whole weekend and I got screwed out of a few hundred dollars (had to miss a big baseball tournament I was asked to umpire that weekend). All in all, I'd rather pay Mike Tyson to use my testicles as a punching bag instead of doing that again. Pulling that crap during football season would be an offense worthy of a break up.

sister in law did a hotel reception and hired a babysitter. kids were welcome but everybody knew there was a babysitter. got a bunch of toys/dvds/coloring books etc and a room adjacent to the reception room.
My wife arranged this set up for our wedding. Worked great for everyone, especially the guests who were binging and not having to worry about their kids for a little while. Highly recommend if it's feasible.
Also, my best man's daughter screamed through the entire ceremony, but no one knew because the grandparents were there and they had enough sense to take the baby outside.

hey dork, the line in the sand was drawn when two people (who want to spend the rest of their life together and start a family) decided to invite their closest friends and family to an event celebrating that fact and then included a stipulation that none of those close friends and family members were allowed to bring their four month old son or their seven year old daughter, despite the fact that it's a pretty much universally accepted thing to do.
i do agree that humans are allowed to make whatever calls they want to though.

Nobody will be having any fun with you anyway. Kids at weddings annoy the hell out of me as a guest and every damn time I want to punch the parents square in their fat rough ridin' faces. Oh look, neither of you are very attractive and you had a couple mediocre at best kids. Great job assholes is what I say. Thanks for subjecting everyone else to your mistakes.

explain yourself
he just dunked in your pud town face.
sounds about right. got me right in my ego. the balls of the ego even. i will be back shortly to prove how great where i live is and therefore by association how great i am.
That's not quite it. I just think you try too hard sometimes and your Peorianess might explain it. Maybe some sort of an urge to overcompensate. Not sure.
That's what I thought about the topic at the moment I responded. It wasn't for anyone's benefit. You're shitty at armchair psychology. I'm not surprised that you would would think that though. Suits you. Probably tough to fathom how someone wouldn't base a large portion of their self-worth on where they live for a cat like you. San fran tho, huh rusty?

Is Peoria considered a college town? I think Midwestern/southern college towns have the best combination of cost of living and culture in the country. Maybe I'm jealous?I wouldn't say Peoria is a college town. The college definitely seemed like a significant part of the town though, but less-so than the KSU/MHK or the Illinois/Chambana relationship.
:surprised:
Bradley is a very small school and Peoria is a good sized town.

There are no elitist hipster things to do here and I imagine the local music scene is more or less crap. I don't think you would like it. I don't think Peoria considers itself a college town. I'm pretty sure it thinks of itself as somehow above that. I disagree. Also, Bradley isn't big enough and their campus sucks. Plus no football and small-timey basketball.

If I have to tell you not to bring your kids to an event that goes late into the night where unlimited booze is served, than I can't help you or your kids. Only God/Allah can.
This was my point. There shouldn't need to be a prohibition. Fun people already know better. If you're bringing your children, then you are a boring loser of a friend.

Most of the weddings I've went to the parents bail at the kids' bedtimes anyway and leave it to the professionals to continue the celebration.
Yep. Secretly though it's me that wants to go to bed but the kids make a good excuse.

i personally choose not to take my kids to weddings as well for the same reasons listed above. it's a wedding and if i'm going, then i'm going to booze and probably even sneak off out back for a cig or two.
that's me though and it's my call and there have been a few times for various different reasons that we brought our kids and did not do the above things. just a quick nice to see you, here's your present, eat some food, have one beer and bail.
just seriously though... if you are getting married and honestly feel the need to make the whole "do i bring my six month old or not" decision for the people that you invited, then that raises a serious red flag about you as a person and the people that you choose to associate with. or maybe it doesn't at all and you are just a narcissistic weirdo that chose your wedding day to throw societal norms and conventional wisdom out the window because it's all about you and it's your day and you can do anything you want to on your day and people can either like it and deal with it or eff em.

yeah. but my parents are both dead and my wife's parents live in reno. my sister lives in leawood and would watch our daughter, but her husbands family is in town staying with them this week as well and we don't really want to add further inconvenience to her. it's our first child and we don't really feel comfortable leaving her with a strange baby sitter that we've never met in a hotel room eight hours away from home. so while we'd both absolutely love to make it to the wedding (you were a groomsmen in ours), it really looks like we'll have to decline. say hi to everyone for me though and tell them i can't wait to see them at the ten year reunion. you and your wife make a great couple, btw. congrats, she's a keeper.

If you get a flat tire is the couple supposed to pay for a tow and a taxi? Are they supposed to charter a flight? Maybe they can just get married in your living room so that you don't need to get up from your recliner.
you know what i've never in my life heard of? a couple that is getting married paying for a tow and taxi or a chartered flight or offering to get married in someones living room so that they didn't need to get up from their recliner.
you know what i have heard of roughly one kabillion times? weddings where the couple let's their guests decide whether they want to bring a kid along or leave them at home.

It seems like by not putting you in my wedding party I've already sent a pretty clear message on whether or not I care if you come. Still, your wife could skip the ceremony and stay in the hotel room giving your baby all the tit it can handle and then maybe make an appearance at the reception to congratulate us and then leave again. You could then stay and party balls. Hell you could just go to the reception and skip the ceremony too if you like. I just want you to have fun and also not to have your baby crying at my ceremony because it isn't his/her goddamned day, it's my bride's. Glad we got this sorted.

What about my 15 year old? He just got his learners permit (dd?) and is very responsible. I know he isnt old enough to buy chew or vote or even join the army, but do you think it would be ok for him to come to the wedding?
If he sits there silently he's obviously good to go. If he has Tourette's, he can't come. He can however come to the reception and yell crap until he passes out. He can also have a beer or two if you're cool with that.

your brother already told me that there are no groomsmen/bridesmaids because your wife is one of those women that doesn't really have any "girlfriends" and that she just wanted her sister to maid of honor and no bridesmaids so you couldn't have groomsmen. no big deal man. also something about how she's pretty high maintenance and wanted your wedding day to be "her day". like i said, mfeo.

What would you do if, say, you were at a wedding and the mascot of the couple's favorite team walked in and your kids (also fans) went batshit crazy? Pretty tough decision here, IMO. Do you temper their excitement? I mean they're kids, and this is rough ridin'

maybe pick a table by a wall/corner and then you grab the seat next to it so that you can't see the whole room. then just have bros bring you drinks and you go to pound town on the drinks and there's no way that you see someone under the age of 18 unless your friend pulls a prank and pranks you by bringing one over to the table. :dunno:

the singalong does sound fun. also, omg kids. it is just impossible for a normal person to just go about their business in anyway whatsoever when one of them is within fifty feet. i mean what in the world is wrong with them. the kids i mean obviously and not the completely normal adult that isn't able to just go about their own business.

he said after.. and she did whisperWent to family Christmas with 10 little kids. Old SB Gramps read a 2-minute long devotional prayer thingy before Christmas dinner and only like two of the kids were quiet. Future Mrs. Benny looked at me afterward and whispered "Uhhhhhh clearly we made the right deciszh on no kids at the wedding." :whistle1: Oh also SB whole family sung Joy To The World around the piano, which was really really great. :D
Anyway, we're registering for stuff now. Tips? :Wha:

there'd be a dance competition with candy payouts towards the middle/end of the reception. i guess i'd give out some participation candy too. nothing too early though

i think you are confusing butthurt w/ me making fun of you, but that was to be expected.
on a side note, i was at orange leaf the other day and had just got my favorite orange leaf to eat and sat down. guess what happened? a woman and a five year old walked into the orange leaf. what did i do you ask? stood up, threw my orange leaf in the trash and walked out. orange leaf offically ruined.

Bottom line, this is adorable. People follow those twitter feeds with adorable kid stuff and viral youtube vines and what not and it is right in front of their face and do I even get a compliment for raising a great kid? The future of America? A well behaved youngster?
Nope.
Is it any wonder that there is a line half way up the aisle every basketball game so parents can take their children to sit on Snyder Santa's lap, take a pic, have him ask them about their studies and sign something to memorialize the encounter and an extra special place in their child's heart? IS IT?
Well, no. It isn't much of a wonder at all. Because this whole damn country has gone to hell because of people that don't love kids in general, but my kid in specific, and think that they are just God's gift to society because they can poop in toilets and legally drink and what not.

You know what really pisses me right the hell off? When I go somewhere with my adorable little kid and no one pays attention. He usually just sits on my lap adorably, but sometimes he also will read a book with me or I'll let him look through pics of us on my phone. Most times we do that he smiles and sometimes says "daddy!" or "hello!" and laughs.

Any particular reason? Also what is the best/worst wedding gifts you guys got? :Wha:
everyone has a Target, not everyone has a BB&B or whatever. Also, very easy to return unwanted ur duplicate gifts to Target for store credit.
China is worthless (tried to tell my wife)
Best gift: Hate to say it, but money. We paid off most of our honeymoon that way. I really didn't need/want all the kitchen crap and knicknacks you have to pick to fill out a registry.

Yeah. I would love to do just straight cash but our honeymoon is basically free already and I think people know that so it might be considered gauche or whatevs.good way to see what you are worth to them tho, imo

yeah, the secret is to not put a TON of things on your registry, so people who buy late might be more apt to say screw it, give them cash, and to register at a place like Target where you can shop for everyday needs with the store credit from returns.

no the wedding has been in the works since july and the brewery has been in the works since october-ish.
in the beginning i was concerned with her not wanting me to be spending all my time working on the brewery and ignoring the wedding, but she has handled the whole situ really well. we basically talk about wedding stuff for an hour or two on the weekend to get on the same page, then she handles the rest while I work on my stuff. it's pretty great.

1. First thing you need to do is get a drunken confessional booth. "Hey Skinny, what is that?" So glad you asked. If you are having any kind of a fun, non-stuffy wedding reception and your wife is down with it too, do this. We didn't want to do the TOTALLY ZANY PHOTO BOOTH WITH LOTSA FAKE MUSTACHES OMG!!! So we bought one of these (http://media.bellacor.com.edgesuite.net/images/500/2096WRD-01657.jpg) for about $30 at Wal-Mart and stuck it out back on the smoking patio, then put a video camera on a tripod in there. After people got shitfaced we instructed them to go in the booth by themselves and turn the camera on, then tell a secret to that they've never told anyone before. Results were amazing. Just watched the footage two nights ago and it's pure gold. We promised the wedding guests that their secrets would be kept secret so I won't divulge too much but let's just say one guy we all know divulged to us that he pooped in the doghouse in his backyard when he was 5 and then the dog died a week later and he's pretty sure it's his fault. Another person confessed that he had trouble coming to terms with his puffy nips back in the day and finally went to his mom to ask if she would pay for his nipple reduction surgery.
2. Had at least three guests who were parents get in there and confess on the video how grateful they were that we said no kids. Lotsa this: "I mmmean don't gget me wrong my kidsss are grrreat but sometimes I just gottagetaway, you know? And nnow I'm dddrunk and dancing to Coolio, thank you so fuggging much iloveyou." In your face, haters.
P.S. Weddings are real fun and mocat I hope you have a blast at yours because I 100% had a blast at mine. :cheers:

With weddings, it's to share among guests, (many whom would be strangers). Also so the bride can easily find all the photos people took.
For the mom, it may just be so she can easily find all the baby pics later. Who knows.

Holy crap. That might be the most insufferable thing I've ever read.
And no, if she lives in Zachary that means she must have some long-term ties to Louisiana, and thus her name probably is Fleur.

If someone doesn't want your bratty kids at their wedding that is up to them. She says something like "Why did you even invite me?" but she would have bitched for not getting invited just because she had kids.
yup. Invites go to lots of people that you know probably won't attend.
I appreciated her passive aggressive comment that the people were too poor to feed her kids. that was high level bad person-ness that is hard to develop and still seem serious

Of course. Definitely just wanted something to angrily momblog about. Also the hypothetical answer to her question is probably, "Because we were incredibly close friends in college a few years ago and you were an important part of my life, but that doesn't necessarily extend to your two bratty toddlers I've never met. Sorry I don't want to pay for them to scream over the vows I spent a week writing."

Guys, I'm in a wedding this Saturday. What do I do with my hands?!!! In my pockets? I have to stand up there for an hour in front of everyone?!!! :runaway:You will be fine. You got some good advice from a few on here. It all goes pretty naturally in my experience as groomsman or best man.

We saw that on the news last night which then caused a discussion about how catering pricing works. Do they charge you for an exact number of people you reserve or do they round up? Like if I say that we need dinner for 79 people do they charge 79 x $ per person or do they round up and charge 80 x $ per person? Or do they just have an option that is "This amount feeds 75-85 people for $$$" and even if you only have 79 people you have to buy that option?

you tell them the exact number, and you get charged for the exact number, but the caterer will make enough food for extra people
Right, they have like a 10% buffer or something. Thank you for proving Gooch wrong once again.

Buffet wedding or sit down dinner served probably makes a difference here.

I assume we are talking about sit down dinner because that lady specifically billed her no-show guests for a very specific entree.

Canadian's friends significant other's parents are very anti-kids at a wedding. Unfortunately most of this friends / family are from out of town and some have young children. Anyone have experience with this? He is thinking of providing babysitter(s) for the close friends and family affected. Thoughts?
That sounds like a very nice compromise.

How does the significant other feel about kids at the wedding? That is more important than how her (or his?) parents feel.

Even if the Canadian In-laws don't pay, you or one of your local friends with kids should arrange to have a trusted babysitter on hand. It'd be pretty rude to say "come to a city where you don't live to attend my wedding and also find a babysitter that you've never met and then pay for them."
If you go with Option #1, your friends with young kids will be :cheers: :billdance: :excited:.

My experience with no kid weddings is that a lot of people won't show that have young kids
My experience was pretty much that everyone with kids still travelled to my wedding and super duper thanked me for giving them a night free to be an adult with other adults. Lit'rally every one. Do what's right for you, but from my own experience I would say kid-free weddings are a blast and everyone thinks so. :cool:
Post by: Mrs. Gooch on November 05, 2015, 08:44:06 AM
Also, consider where the kids/babysitters are going to be. If there is a separate room in the same building (church?) that the kids/babysitters can be in, that might give some parents peace of mind in knowing that they are on site, so that even if something arises with this babysitter that they don't know, then they can come get the parents if needed.

Ms. Wacky's fam is kind of pissed we're not doing a huge Catholic wedding. They also want more than 40 in Colorado and that's not what we want. We gave them the huge reception back home. I agree that parents are needy, but I get their side of things too. If they're paying, they want major imput. However, i'm not Catholic and i'm not taking classes to get married in a Catholic church. This being their only daughter out of 6 kids, I get their side of things, but this day isn't about hem.Parents are so needy
Agreed.

Post by: star seed 7 on March 03, 2016, 02:11:54 PM
I always rant to Mrs. CF3 when people write their own vows, because they are never actual vows. A vow is "I will forsake all others for you". What they always end up like is "I loved you from the first time we met, that day at the library. You are so beautiful inside and out" its not a vow its just a nice string of words.
I think that's a pretty good rant

Post by: Mrs. Gooch on March 03, 2016, 02:24:39 PM
I went to a Catholic one once and there was a bunch of standing and kneeling.
Also the reception sounds like a good idea in theory but hanging out with a bunch of people I don't know or my co-workers does not sound like the best time to me.
Also, I barely know this girl. I have seen her probably 20 times in the 8 years I have worked here. My boss has 2 daughters and I don't even know which is which.

It's obviously important to your boss, though. Weddings aren't just for the bride - I'm sure it would make your boss very happy to see him that day, even if it's just for a brief moment. You're being very selfish - go to the wedding if you get invited.

No. Leaving work 30 minutes early doesn't make up for staying all night at the dinner and dancing afterwards.

i have no interest in "free booze" or cheap banquet food or shitty wedding DJamer music or the cute dances that they do, or any of the rest of it. i don't care that two people decided to get married and i won't care when a third of them get divorced.
if that makes me selfish, so be it, i don't care about that either. if my boss invited me to his daughter's nuptials, i'd just immediately make up a lie that would preclude me from going. i do buy them wedding gifts though, because i derive enjoyment from finding a good gift for someone. it can be a fun challenge.

Don't invite the mehs, dumbosMs. Wackys step family who live in Chicago and Texas. They tie sweaters around their neck like they just walked off Augusta. No kids, so they probably won't come.

Actually, go to the first one and make it a point to see your friend getting married the second weekend while you're in town. Explain you could only afford to travel to one but you wanted to make it a point to see him and the bride before he got married. You can give the gift and probably have a nice, real conversation you wouldn't have been able to have at the wedding.This isn't really wedding planning, but whatever: I live in AZ and am invited to weddings in back-to-back weekends in May in KC.

I've never seen a bride confront a wedding guest about their attire. It isn't a common occurrence.Me neither. Seems weird and random.

Still, dressing nicely to a wedding is a way of showing the couple that their marriage is important to you. Yeah, it can be uncomfortable, but it isn't really about you. I realize that's difficult for many to understand.
I agree with this when it's someone you're close with, though if you're close with them they wouldn't care either way unless you have petty friends (protip: dump the petty friends)
My responses are from the bosses daughter sort of angle and why I wouldn't attend.

Friends you don't care about, I agree. Just don't go.
The boss's daughter angle is different. If one of my last few bosses invited me to their daughter's wedding, I would go even if I didn't know the bride, because I like and respect them and would know it was important to them. I'd actually be honored to be invited. I guess I was just assuming Mrs. Gooch has a semi-decent relationship with her boss or it wouldn't be considered. If you don't like your boss, why bother?

Actually, go to the first one and make it a point to see your friend getting married the second weekend while you're in town. Explain you could only afford to travel to one but you wanted to make it a point to see him and the bride before he got married. You can give the gift and probably have a nice, real conversation you wouldn't have been able to have at the wedding.This isn't really wedding planning, but whatever: I live in AZ and am invited to weddings in back-to-back weekends in May in KC. I'm roughly equally good friends with both, but one is a college roommate of mine. Is it cool if I tell the other guy I can't make it?
I still have a 3rd wedding I'll be in that's in December and I'll be going to the Stanford game and hopefully 2 other Cat games. Ill be running out of points with all those and don't want to drop the coin. I feel bad, but it gets expensive.
I say go to the wedding that sent the invite first
This is what I was thinking as well. Def what I will do now.

But, that also might mean different things to you and I mc. I maintain professional relationships with everyone I work with, but I have zero desire to spend any time with any of them outside of work
yeah, have you ever been invited to a wedding of a colleague's daughter? That's why I don't think it's a typical professional relationship.
Regardless, doing something nice/meaningful for your boss- such as showing up at their daughter's wedding they invited you to or giving them a gift for Christmas or doing something nice for them if they have a death in the family - doesn't necessarily mean you have any desire to have a relationship out of work. It can just mean you're a nice, respectful person.

It's the hayseeds that wear the jeans. They don't own suits or slacks and even if they did they sure as crap prefer to wear jeans while they are smashing Bud Lights on someone else's dime. Surprised michigancat hasn't seen that before in Ulysses or whichever godforsaken town he grew up in.
I've seen jeans at plenty of weddings, never seen a bride do anything about it or even act like she cared.

Ah I get you. One wedding I've got coming up the bride was concerned enough she put something on the invite about dress code, can't remember specific wording but she might as well have put "DON'T WEAR rough ridin' JEANS" because that's what she was trying to say. And I guarantee 100% there will be jeans there and she will not like that one bit.

No kids, so they probably won't come. We have less than 30 ppl attending. Best men and women. Brothers and sisters, parents and grandparents. I have a small family.

Courtesy invite. She probably wanted to invite one or two people at most but with only 10 people is super obvs so she invited all 10.

Ms. Wacky's brother got us like a couples therapy staycation thing in April. Super nice gesture, but also my worst nightmare. It's an entire weekend, at some place by the legends where we are with other engaged couples, talking about our feelings, communicating concerns, etc. Like, you do a bunch of activities too. How will I get through this guys? I might just be super awkward and make it all about sex until they kick me out. Anyone else done something like this?
oh god, Chateau Avalon? i've always driven by that thing and wondered who in the hell stayed there.

Wacky, call the place and tell them that you can't make it on the weekend it is planned for and ask if you can get like a credit for later. Then when your B-I-L's 1st anniversary rolls around in less than a year, use the credit to buy the B-I-L & wife a weekend there. (I assume they do like relationship building classes for already married people in addition to engaged couples????)I have no clue. I'm going in blind. We're still waiting for him to send over the info. We better be sleeping together!

Yes, this is a good time to discuss expectations of each other (which I remember you two have had a problem communicating before)
Overall it does sound pretty lame though. You can probably just skip the classes and relax in the room or take in many of kck's hidden treasures.

You will be sleeping in a room with another complete stranger (male) in a single bed for 2 nights. You will be writing your feelings out. It's definitely tailored to Catholics, since that is who puts it on. You can get something out of it if you really want to. Having said all of that, it's pretty weird that her brother set this up for you without you saying you wanted to do it (unless I misread something).

Having said all of that, it's pretty weird that her brother set this up for you without you saying you wanted to do it (unless I misread something).
Wait do you mean each male gets their own single/twin sized bed or it's 2 guys sharing one bed?? :sdeek:

Maybe the B-I-L's wife insisted on it for them and then "suggested" (demanded) to B-I-L that they should also get the package for Wacky & Ms. Wacky.

We're indifferent about the sil. She means really well, but she's over the top catholic and gets bombed after 2 glasses of wine at family events and then gets super emotional. She's hot, but i'm not sure she's hot enough to put up with that stuff on the reg.
That doesn't exactly sound indifferent.

i had 2 sisters that did this. One had a roommate that had to wake up periodically throughout the night to check her basal body temp because for natural family planning reasons. The other was matched up with a friend of mine from college.

yep, I had that couple, the big takeaway was whenever you get into a fight, and can't work through it, you are both supposed to take your clothes off, at least that's what the old couple said.
Post by: 420seriouscat69 on March 28, 2016, 03:38:00 PM
so how did he present this to you, and what was your and mrs wacky's exact reaction?Yesterday at easter, they said: "Come here guys. We have a surprise for you. We wanted to give you your wedding present early". So I was like: "Cool!" We open this big bag and it's two huge picture frames with the initial F on them. I'm thinking, damn, that's pretty cool. Go Fanning! Then he said: "Read the card". So we read it and it took me awhile to see wtf I was reading and then I came a crossed it on the last paragraph. I was like "Oh, this sounds cool. Thank you so much." Thinking the whole time in my head :"FUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!". Ms Wacky was like: "Neat. So how does this even work?" He was very vague with his answer and said that they did it before their wedding and it was the best thing ever for them. Right when we left, we got in the car and literally said "eff! This is exactly why we didn't want the wedding in the catholic church. We don't wanna do classes and we don't want it over the top religious". :curse:
Post by: 420seriouscat69 on March 28, 2016, 03:41:15 PM
Yeah, I mean, we have some stuff in common. We lean on each other a lot at family events. We both started dating into the family around the same time and she's a nurse and has really bad anxiety like me, so she talks to me about best practices for it. So I definitely don't hate her, but she can be a lot to handle at times.We're indifferent about the sil. She means really well, but she's over the top catholic and gets bombed after 2 glasses of wine at family events and then gets super emotional.

who cares, you shouldn't plan a weekend for someone (Friday 5pm - Sunday 6 pm) without asking the people going if they would want to do that. and if I remember correctly (been like 8 years ago), it wasn't that expensive.

Her grandpa is like the head of Catholic charities here in KC. Her having a destination wedding came as a shock to many. That's why we're having a huge reception at Lake Quivira and getting it blessed when we come back.

well if you guys are trying to keep up appearances that you're serious about the catholic stuff, it might be a good idea to go. if you don't care about the appearances at all, and don't care that your in laws will be insulted (they will), then either (a) tell them to buzz off, or (2) don't go and say you did.

making weekend long plans for someone else as a "gift", when they were obviously not clear about what those plans all entailed, is shady and weird

That said I can't imagine what kind of person would do this to you. My parents are arguably the most Catholic people in the universe and even they left it completely up to us on what we wanted to do. Kind of a dick move to tell you how to start your marriage.

they shouldn't go just to avoid insulting their in-laws
they should only go if they both want to and are willing to actively participate. that's obviously not the case so they shouldn't go.
i'd be angry w/ in-laws for pushing something like this on me and i would let them know it. lines need to be drawn sooner rather than later.

If my future BIL got me this I would tell him eff no (thanks but no thanks, depending on sobriety). If my future FIL got me this I would definitely have a talk with him about it, and my concerns, but would respect his wishes if it was really important. Fortunately for me, my in-laws are no more religious than me so that sort of thing isn't an issue.It used to be a 6, but I'd say it's about a 3 now. I've always had this inner self conflict of pleasing people and avoiding confrontation IRL. Maybe that's why I like this board so much. I'm a ppl pleaser and it's hard for me to be a dick IRL. I guess I don't want to hurt their feelings.

Also, it's not that i'm not religious or anything. I'm just not catholic and I disagree with a lot of things with the catholic church. Being forced into something that i'm not a fan of, feels a bit awkward. I've been to so many catholic weddings with this fam and I got a death stare one time, because one of the family members finally found out I wasn't catholic, because I wasn't kneeling down and all that stuff. I thought it was pretty funny.

Are there still Catholics that actually care if their kids marry someone outside the church any more? They've evolved into a pretty laid back group, generally. Seems like you're being either overly sensitive or assigning them opinions based on your own insecurities.That's fair. Some do care about that stuff, but most of this family doesn't. They're all very laid back and kind and have done a lot of nice things for me. I guess it's just the powers atop this family that make me feel insecure. Where the roots come from. Yes, they're still old school in a lot of ways. I don't want to crap on them, so i'll just keep it at that.

I think that the B-I-L and his wife (maybe more so the wife) really thought that Wacky & Ms. Wacky would like this gift. But they really made a bad decision in scheduling this kind of thing for someone else and making the decision for them.I totally think this is it. We hang out with this couple a lot. We have a lot in common, minus religion. I know for a fact that the BIL likes me. If he didn't, he would have told me a long time ago. He has done that in the past with some of her former boyfriends.

So you can either suck it up and go (to not hurt their feelings) or tell them that you don't want to go (nicely). If you do go, make sure to still tell them that thing is not your cup of tea (while also saying something complimentary) so that they don't get you anything like that in the future.

pretty sure if you're both Catholic and are having a Catholic wedding, it's kind of required to do this retreat thing, at least that's what we were told.
Nope. Just give them some dough and you can have a pagan orgy in their church.

In my corner of SoJoCo I hear the tithe is determined by what neighborhood you live in. So Wacky keep that in mind if/when Grampa Z drops some cash on you for the down payment.Yeah WC, it will get real with the kids - paying for Catholic school, confirmation, etc.Do you know how affordable catholic school is in Kansas City? No. You don't.

I love all of the non-Catholics who know everything about everything Catholic. Catholics give, on average, less than 2%. It is actually quite embarrassing. "Tithing? GTH{heck}OOH with tithing!" Says about 90% of Catholics.

From what I understand, catholic grade schools and high schools require a flat tuition. Discounts on that tuition are often available if you've already sent older children there (i.e. your third kid gets 20% off tuition or something). Scholarships are also available, but that may be exclusively in the high school context.Some give discounts for parish "members", which would be where the tithing audit comes in.

My nieces and nephews are in the Kansas City Diocese's schools. My bros have never had to show a pay stub/w2. We have tuition where my kids go. It is more expensive because of the area.

I interpret that bit on the St. Peter's website to mean tuition can be covered by donating directly to the parish, rather than formally paying tuition to the school, but who knows.
Post by: Mrs. Gooch on March 29, 2016, 03:50:35 PM
so I guess there is not necessarily an audit, but you can donate to the church rather than pay "tuition".
Also, they have a limit of 69 kids in each grade. :fatty:
Post by: Bloodfart on March 29, 2016, 03:51:30 PM
I don't think "tithing" has meant "10% of your earnings" in a very long time. I think the contemporary definition of "tithing" just covers any donation to the church.
I interpret that bit on the St. Peter's website to mean tuition can be covered by donating directly to the parish, rather than formally paying tuition to the school, but who knows.
It means 10% or you better be volunteering service hrs.

So there is a substantial (50%) discount for "parishioners," which are defined as follows:
Quote
a. Registered with the Parish and attends Mass regularly.
b. Has an offertory pledge on file for 2015
c. Contributes regularly through envelopes-or automatic offerings
d. Volunteers time and/or talents to the parish/school as capable.
The parish continues to rely on your charitable giving as a separate obligation from school tuition. Your parish contributions are essential to maintain, in addition to the school, the many other important responsibilities of our church shared by the entire faith community of Holy Trinity.
I don't know, that all seems pretty reasonable. Here's your tuition, be a part of the parish (and donate what you can) and you'll get a 50% discount on your tuition.

Also why do I have to give god my money?You don't have to give your money to anyone. But if you're worshipping somewhere that has 2 or 3 full time priests -- those guys don't eat for free (well, sometimes they do i guess). There are also a handful (sometimes more) of parish administrators that require compensation, not to mention the month to month bills that come along with owning a building that hosts thousands of people each week.
If you're into going to church, you should probably help pay for it.

I think it's unreasonable for a parish to know the finances of every parishioner if there's not really any reason to know. It's invasive and a waste of resources that serves no purpose.
If a parishioner is coming to the church/school and asking for need-based aid, then yeah, the church/school has a reason to take an interest in that person's financial situation.

Everyone who is a "parishoner" and sending their kid to the school is receiving financial aid. It doesn't seem unreasonable at all for the church to want those those with higher incomes to donate more to the church than poorer families to receive that financial aid from the church.

It's practically 3/1. Already around 250 ppl. I'm missing friends and coworkers on the list. I literally slashed out 27 ppl from my mom's side of the family that I never speak to over lunch. That's a crap load of ppl.I just looked at our reception list. Live look in at me at my desk right now...

Why?
Why were those people on the list to begin with?
Post by: ChiComCat on March 30, 2016, 01:54:27 PM
1. Immediate Family
2. Close Friends
3. Friends you want an excuse to see that live far away
4. Friends/Family that are fun and won't be a pain in the ass
Give your parents a certain number of people they can invite from their friends and stick to that number. If they want one more, they need to cut someone.

I work for a small corporate company in town and have gotten really close with some of my coworkers. Including my CEO, COO, Manager, etc. I think I've invited like 10 work ppl and she's going nuts over it. We also said no kids at the wedding, but i'm only going to have like 8 family members there, so I told my brother it was OK to bring my 16 year old nephew, because they're going on vacation in CO the week after that. She's going nuts over it.

Because we said no kids at the actual wedding and she's already told 8 nieces and nephews his age that they can't come. She has 5 brothers, I have 1. She has two sets of folks, I have 1, She has two sets of grandparents and I have 1, because my grandma is too old to travel.

The problem is, most of her siblings live in KC or have access to a airport and fly home all the time. My brother is driving all the way from Monroe, LA. How am I supposed to tell him no, when my nephew has looked up to me for a long time?

I know if I got an invitation to a wedding and had kids over the age of 14, I wouldn't really think twice about bringing them if the invitation said "no kids".
Depends if the invite was addressed to Mr and Mrs RATM or Mr and Mrs RATM and family...

Then punta cana from sunday till saturday and then back home and then back to work and the reception will be the following week.

what happens in colorado after the wedding ceremony? you walk out of the church waving at everyone saying "see you on the dance floor in two weeks!" and then everyone gets in their car and drives back to the airport?We'll be on peak 7 for the wedding in breck. Then we'll do our dinner and drinks there and then head out on the town that night. Some will stick around the next day and others will go to Denver. We'll fly out Sunday, so we'll probably head to denver with some ppl that night.

WC so at the beginning of the party, are you guys there, or do you wait for all the guests to arrive and then make an entrance?Good question. I think some will be there already to see us get it blessed outside and then we'll head in? I never even thought about that. That's a great question!

What do you mean by "get it blessed"? The marriage? Shouldn't you do that right after the wedding? Is it because the wedding wasn't in a Catholic church?

To the rehearsal dinner? That is weird. I can see if it is a very small destination wedding (which is maybe Wacky's case) but normally you would only invite the people in the wedding (which includes parents) and their spouses.

Yeah I think out-of-town family is a pretty good dividing line. Like, siblings, grandparents, aunts and uncles, and maybe first cousins from out of town.

we had aunts and uncles for our rehearsal dinner.
same. we invited wedding party, immediate family, and out of town family (which was everyone else) I think we had like 85-90 at our rehearsal. Honestly I had way more fun at that than I did at the reception. the place we had it had a great beer selection and even had an awesome beer cellar that they let us raid. So much Chimay, Trappistes Rochefort, etc...some of these bottles were probably valued $20-$25, All included in the drink package we bought.
Also, pie bar for dessert :love:

It's definitely not Rike-ee, like the way the Germans pronounced it. They wanted to run far away from that.
Pretty sure in German that would be pronounced Ree-ke, the second vowel, in this case the "e" in Rieke carries the sound.

Well it's creepy and most guys don't want to get out there and catch a sweaty piece of underwear...hopefully. Waiting for the wedding party is necessary if they're off taking pictures or something. It would be weird if they just walked in and sat down after a few hours of everyone waiting.

no, it's not. Any reception that does stuff like "the chicken dance" "the train" "the electric slide" automatically takes the dumbest part of the reception. next comes the garter toss, the bouquet toss, etc...

if you have an open bar (you better), people will get nice and tipsy/'faced and open there wallets. old, rich people will give you large bills. you'll get a chance to talk while "dancing" with a bunch of people that you want to talk with and say thanks for coming to your wedding.
#teamdollardance
Yeah. For a lot of people it's the only one on one conversation you get w/ the bride/groom. Think of it as a more fun receiving line.

How much are you making your groomsmen/bridesmaids pay to be in your wedding? I spent over $800 just to be in a rough ridin' wedding 3 weeks ago and I'm still not rough ridin' happy about it
too much. the bachelor party/trip is expensive and they're going to have to shell out a couple hundred for a suit and then another couple hundred if they're staying at the hotel plus a couple hundred if they're flying in. i'm constantly worried about making my bros spend money but at the end of the day they can handle it and i have done/will do the same for them.

Now they have a brand new suit for life and only had to chip in $150. All my boys had points to fly in for my bachelor party and one of them works for SW, so it's free. Just lodging I guess.

See at least you are helping pay for stuff.
My issue is if you can't even help pay for other people to be in your wedding don't do it. If you don't have the money to help your friends out, and you are just expecting them to pay to go to your event, I just don't know.

I get both sides. one, you should be honored and two, they should try and help if they can. I've been in a few, but they were all radio friends, so they literally paid for everything with trade. I'm totally fine with my guys not being at my reception either. They'll be doing enough just to get to breck.How much are you making your groomsmen/bridesmaids pay to be in your wedding?

I think she wants me too. At least that's what she says. I'm more of a waist guy myself.Wacky you need to be able to dance properly with your wife. It is not too late to take a few classes before the wedding.Hold left hand and rock back and forth. I've got this.
Wacky are you intending to hold her left hand?
So, she is leading then? Seems logical.

Dancing is stupid anyways, unless i'm at a 5 or a 6 and that's not happening.

How much are you making your groomsmen/bridesmaids pay to be in your wedding? I spent over $800 just to be in a rough ridin' wedding 3 weeks ago and I'm still not rough ridin' happy about it:sdeek:
WTF?

Adorable wedding deets:
-At our rehearsal dinner, we had Brecks best Mexican downtown.
-Wedding group went out and partied till 3 am that night.
-Best man and brides maid (best women) :fatty: two nights straight
-Mrs. Wacky was adorable and so happy when she walked out. We had a crier. :)
-When Mrs. Wacky tried to put my ring on, it was kind of tough, because my finger was swollen and she told everyone out loud the reason for it. "Sorry! We had Mexican the night before!" and everyone started busting up laughing. :D Great memories all around!

WC did you like that horse ride
and what was the horses nameHis name was Rocko. I'm kinda terrified of horses, but the fact that I was almost the same size of it, made it easier. I did it for Mrs. Wacky because she grew up riding them. He was very nice. I got burnt badly days before, so the trotting was kind of uncomfortable. Mrs. Wacky loved it and that's all that matters. Those poor horses do that twice a day in that weather. It was cool doing it by the ocean, but I was afraid the horse would fall and i'd lose my phone in the ocean and all the pics we had taken. Mrs. Wacky got to ride really fast with hers. She's a pro.

"Si senor. The only horse we have left if usually reserved for a little nino but you can ride it ok mi amigo" :lol:Fun facts: They love Yardano, Volquez, Cueto, The Royals, and Lebron.
He even said to me: "Lorenzooooooooooooo Cain!"
-The resort had daily games. The winners were presented on stage at that nights show. Mrs. Wacky and I won the couples water balloon fight on Monday and I won the Texas Hold'em Tournament on Wednesday. We won a bunch of local coffee and alcohol for our prices.
-My best man, who did my voice overs in radio, also made me do my wildcat growl in front of everyone during his speech. :D

Why is Wacky riding a pony?Technically, I think it's just a smaller horse. Also, I wasn't, but Mrs. Wacky was. :surprised: Seriously tho, she was. I think it's because she got to go fast on hers. Wearing sandals was a super dumb idea as well. It was just so freaking hot tho.

Wow! Congrats on the invite! First off, you two love birds love to create lovely looking human beings, so I hope Zika settles by then. Secondly, I'll need more deets on this adventure. Is it an all inclusive? How many days will you be there? Etc. Would go if I were you, but I love paradise, so that's just me. Ppl there are awesome!
Well, I think we are both shutting down team reproduction in August. As for the trip, They are at the Onyx. It looks like an all-inclusive. Which one did you all stay at? Anything else you guys do?

Take all the money you and/or your families were going to spend on your wedding and ask for it in check/cash take it and invest it. Go to the justice of the peace get married, then shack up for a few days in a nice nearby hotel. Host a dinner party with all the family and guests who would have been at the wedding after you get settled.Do you even :kstategrad: or :fun:, bro?
Thank me later.

Even if you don't invest the money, there are better ways to have fun and party and spend money than a wedding. Thinking a wedding is the "omg best night of my life" is kind of sad, really.
There's a happy medium. Its a cause for celebration. But yeah spending 30k on a wedding is pretty bonkers and I think its fairly routine.

Sad that 'Dax sees this as an investment opportunity from his future in laws. You can still throw a decent party, for little $, at a great venue, without breaking the bank. You just have to be a non-horrible human being who knows a few ppl.
FTR my wedding reception was at an elite KC CC and cost a fortune. It was all a blur.

I haven't meant too many over the top, right wing nut jobs, that are also extreme atheists. It's very bizarre to me.
Yes, it's often you see RWNJ's who want: Peace in the Middle East, increased limitations on the sale of certain weapons, a de-militarization of domestic police forces, a roll back of U.S. hegemony, and who agrees that a nationalized infrastructure improvement program would be good-quite good.
Damn :facepalm:
