If I'm not in the wedding I feel no obligation what so ever to attend said wedding.

god i'd love to see this chicks reaction if her best friend in the entire world was getting married and she was the maid of honor or whatever and was going to have to a speech and bought a new dress and had been telling benji about it for months and then all of the sudden benji was all like "hey babe when was that wedding thing this spring? oh sorry. just got an invite to the big trains wedding from goEMAW.com and it's in dallas that same weekend. looks like i can't make it to you're thing. you have fun though!"

she'd flip her crap and i'd make her own that. i mean give her the choice and all i guess but make sure she knows she wouldn't be ok w/ it if the shoe were on the other foot. make her know how immature she is being. i mean it's benji's best friend in the entire world and he's the best man and he wants her to go. it shouldn't even be an option for her and the non chalantedness of this girl about the whole thing is making me angry.

Yeah Lady BR's sister is getting married the same day as one of my best tailgating buddies.  You better believe the tailgaiting buddies wedding will be 10x as fun, but there is no chance i would even think about suggesting we go to separate weddings.  Thats a good way to piss off her whole fam.

Just wanted to say that I've had a girlfriend for about 4 months now. I'm putting this here in case I want to talk about it later. K Thanks.

Sounds pretty serious!

She goes to school 7 hours away but is from Topeka originally.

7 HOURS AWAY? sounds rough ridin' stupid.

can get bread's advice up close and personal, tho'.

as for the last few pages, ben ji's so is really making me mad at her, his quirkiness be damned. i hope he is reading daris' posts. (another married guy checking in who would not be married if the missus pulled that crap.)

I think Ben Ji knows what he has to do.  This is a red flag....  Keep her around but be a dick to her... Pee on her clothes, lose her key, and then ram her cornhole right before you dump her.

[Dr Rick Daris]

here's the deal though... i have a pretty good feeling that stuff just kind of rolls off benji in a way that just doesn't happen for most folks and is maybe why they are a decent fit/have been together for a couple of years. she does something not nice, he doesn't really notice and is like "gonna go catch some crappie real quick, love ya babe" and life goes on for him. not a bad way to live really. i'd still get her to admit that she's being pretty silly and wouldn't appreciate it if you did the same thing to her. i mean at least get her to own up to it.

DC, were those weddings you were drug to close the weddings of your wife's besties or just her acquaintances?  I have skipped out on plenty of weddings of my wife's acquaintances knowing that she is going out of obligation rather than care.  That is a fully different matter and not in the same universe as to what ben ji is describing.

Obligation is pretty much the only reason I ever go to weddings. If I like the people I'd rather just meet them for dinner and drinks or something. Eating buffet food and watching their uncle Bob drink free crown and cokes til he pukes isn't that fun.

My wife and I make it a point to minimize the number of times the other has to do something they don't want to and skipping weddings is not really a big deal to either of us. Sounds like Ben Ji has decided this isn't worth fighting about (i e he doesn't care that much) so he is rightly giving his gf a pass.

My wedding is sort of a big deal

[Emo EMAW]

If ben ji gf was cool or interesting she'd have no problem staying entertained at a wedding where her date is the best man.  I mean she just has to, like, talk to people.  Not that big of a deal. If she can't do that and have fun doing it then I think that says more about her than not wanting to go at all.

If a current/former co-worker or someone I generally don't hang out with often invites me to their wedding, I absolutely feel no obligation to go. Cool lets go sit in a church for an hour then go to the reception and talk to the 4 other people I know. Oh and you want a gift too? No thanks, I have better things to do with my Saturday.

Or Friday...or New Year's rough ridin' Eve, apparently.

Your circle can't be so small that you are either in the wedding or barely know those getting married?

No, but there is a group of friends that I would without a doubt be at their wedding because either I know I'd be in it or have been good friends for a while. I have plenty of other friends where if I was invited to their wedding I wouldn't feel bad if I didn't attend. Weddings should be small and for immediate family and close friends.

I'll say no more about her. I may not give an eff about my anonymity, but hers on the other hand.

Really, it's all about the wedding.

i don't want you at my boozefest anyway.

fwiw I'd attend and buy an amazing gift if I was so lucky to be invited to your boozefest.

who the eff are you to say what a wedding should and shouldn't be? imo a wedding should be whatever the people paying for it and getting married want it to be. if someone wants it to be small then go crazy. if someone wants all of their friends and family there then go even crazier. I know which one has more fun potential, tho.

I guess I'm not an attention whore and don't need 500 people at my wedding.

Had 300 at mine and it was the boozefest of all boozefests I had every been to or have ever been to since.  People still talk about it 12 yrs later as the best boozefest they have ever been to.  It was fantastic.
