Begining of the end for me...

[Ba Chicka Wa Wa]

Well Saturday while me and Jess were on a stroll by the river I popped the question. I'm hopping this shit doesn't get completely blown up with gay jokes cause I really do have some questions and not sure if anyone is actually married. Like what rules do you go by when picking who comes and who doesn't. My family is so much bigger we don't have a lot of money. I don't want kids their but where do I draw the line on age and where do I draw the line on who gets invited and not and if I make an exception for one person do I have to for another...plus some of the family is saying I have to do certain things but I think I should do whatever the fuck we want. Like since money is so short we were talking about just eloping and taking a few week va-ca to some exotic place...

I'll appreciate all comments and advice and understand I'm gonna get some angry gays mad I didn't ask them. Oh and brains tell your mom I sorry but I can't be sticking it to her anymore on Saturday nights...

 

[S@lv_dor]

Congrats man, do what you two want to do, that's the most important thing. However, listen to your family, if they insist on creating a larger ceremony than by all means let THEM do it, in other words tell them what you want to do (elope) and if they put up a fuss then they can pay for whatever they want.

My .02 cents

ya mon, i hate to say it but me and the wifey eloped cause it was too much of a hassle fukin dealing with setting up a wedding and shit. all i know is they can get big really fukin quick once you invite aunts uncles and cousins and their girlfriends/boyfriends,

anyhow, a month or two later, my mother in law fully planned out and ran a sick fukin reception, i made some cash, and me didn't have to stress about shit except not getting completely fuckin shitfaced polluted in front of my relatives, and passing out on the sidewalk.

the conflict between the two sides on how a wedding should go was really fucked and i never expected such immature behavior from my kids grandparents.


ended up doin the drive thru wedding thing in london, that wedding including gas, marriage license, and the ceremony was like $300-400. that is one cheap wedding motherfucker.

 

[dead mike]

oh ya, don't forget that it is scientifically proven that wedding cake decreases a woman's sex drive by around 80%, so keep that in mind.

 

[iCe]

congrats.... ur still a fag tho

Plan a big trip just for you and your bride to be somewhere and get married there (i.e....Italy -- no, not cs_italy, Europe Italy!) Say you go for 2 weeks, get married on the 3rd day and the rest of it will be your honeymoon!

And congrats Corey! You now have onegina (pronouced &quotne-jyna&quot

as someone that does wedding photography part time (just an assistant), i can tell you this much

big weddings are FUN

but "I" would never have a big wedding :)

just too much bullshit and hassle.

there are generally 3 stages, more if you have a videographer/photographer.

1. at the house,

2. at the church

3. at a banquet hall

if you are paying good coin for some photography/videography, they will usually take you someplace photogenic between the church and the banquet hall, along with your wedding party.

personally i couldnt imagine having to put all that shit together...

 

[Steve]

Congrats corey

my only .02 is for the age thing, just make it 18+, setting a cut off at 14 or 16 can lead to issues.

 

[Keeripes!]

1) Congratulations!
2) Hire Fork for your photography needs.
3) Make your wedding a TD meet.
4) Steve will get teabagged this time.
5) Lol @ 3 and 4
6) Read number 7
7) It's your wedding, do what you want. Family should understand. Like others have mentioned, if ALL the family really wants to come then ask them kindly to help out, because yo ass ain't made of money. Steve, NB, and dead mike's suggestions are money (haven't read the whole thread forgive me if I forgot someone). You can also save money by downgrading your venue for the reception, say from a 5 star hotel to a town hall, or even better - a family member's house.

The TD meet thing is a semi-serious suggestion. Imagine 47 gettin' drunk and running around your wedding with kneepads and a helmet yelling "EEEEEIIIIRRR". Narf will be posing for photos with all the randoms "who're they?"'s at your wedding. BJ will probably end up nailing your wife. DeMarcio will have his shirt off, cheering Steve as he get dunked by Apeshit while he's drinking champagne from a condom that Shotgun was wearing while he was in the wolf cage at the zoo.

I dunno... seems like a pretty kickass scenario to me.

 

[Fork Included]

thats probably the best suggestion i heard all week, from anybody, about any topic.


from now on, the solution to every problem "make it a TD meet"

 

[Ba Chicka Wa Wa]

I like that idea but iCe's worthless ass comment just got him uninvited lol

and yeah we were talking about eloping and doing a crazy fun honeymoon

 

[dead mike]

only problem with eloping is that you will probably lose out on a lot of gifts, really i don't know too much about them, but like a baby shower or something like that, the cold truth is that you invite tons of people to get cash and gifts, i think that anyone who comes should at least be giving you enough to cover their meal say $50, and you don't have to have open bar, you can make cash of that too, not to much though, it will be more fun if you say have $2.00 drinks, everyone will get fuckin smashed... (i don't think you can do this in a hotel/banquet hall)... but probably in the back of a church or a rented town hall you can, just need a liquor license, and actually you can over stock on the booze, and after you can refund any unopened shit you didn't use.

anyhow, elope, have a bomb ass vacation with relatively little stress in the planning, though you may piss some mother in laws off, or go for broke, have a huge party with your family and friends, and hope that they aren't cheapskates and somehow you get enough gifts for a down payment or something, but i think that might be a bit far fetched unless that's what traditionally happens in your family.

in conclusion, wtf is the point of marriage? i guess as long as there is a real commitment, you can have the same thing for nothing.

 

[Fork Included]

by your logic why do we have funerals,

just leave the dead bodies where they lie or haul them to the city dump...

tradition and respect to an unexplainable set of circumstances.

 

[dead mike]

lol sounds like you or some friends are in the funeral industry...
