Planning weddings

[Dub]

BTW, here's some background that may or may not be relevant...

The company I work for only has 10 employees and my boss is the owner. So he probably made his daughter invite all his employees. But did he really expect the employees to show up? Or is it just like a courtesy invite and he doesn't really expect us to show?

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.

[Mrs. Gooch]

With the invite coming so late, they probably had other guests decline and so all the employees got a courtesy invite because they had seats available.

I've had "black tie formal" on a separate line twice, but those are the only times I've seen a dress code explicitly requested

Mine is "black tie optional"

Sorry @dlew12 no swimsuits, maybe if I had any say in the matter...

I would have to google what that means

I had to ask... I think in effect it means suit but tux / black tie not necessary

[Tobias]

"black tie optional" is more or less saying you better not show up in less than a suit, tux is ok.  "black tie" implies tux but it seems like it ends up 50/50

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?

Kill your future brother in law. It's the only solution.

[pissclams]

sneak out and chill over at nebraska furniture mart

[Tobias]

skc home game?

I agree. They just got married last year and they're super into the Catholic church. So I know it's coming from a good place, but it just isn't Ms Wacky and I's style, you know? I don't even want to know how much he spent on this.

We're registered there.  We did registry stuff on Saturday at bed, bath, and beyond. Man, it's a blast!

Is this the same guy that made you pay for half the meal when you only ate a salad?

[DQ12]

Take a lot of bathroom breaks and run over to Hollywood.

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????)

Also, just wondering, but what are the sleeping arrangements at this place for engaged couples?

[Tobias]

also, ms wacky should've bounced the eff out of this when her bro asked what weekends you were available to do this

Nope. This is my favorite brother by far. Different brother.

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!

She thought they were taking us to the lake or something that weekend. She had no idea.

I will get kicked out of this place. I'm going to bring up a bunch of disturbing stuff. I'll just talk about butt stuff to thee entire room.

[AbeFroman]

I don't know, this seems like a good opportunity to get some intel on some other dorks relationships. Then 5 years from now during a fight just go "hey remember when we went to Chateu Avalon before our wedding and that one dorky couple had that one stupid problem? Guess ours isn't so bad. lol @ that couple"

[420seriouscat69]

  I had never thought about that. I like that angle of thought. 

[DQ12]

you could also give it an honest shot.  I assume your BIL and SIL went there?  if so, they apparently thought it was worthwhile.

Yeah, they loved it.
