There was one fellow in the wedding party who I felt kinda bad for. He's a geeky/nerdy type...very intelligent...great if somewhat odd sense of humor...good looking...but just can't get a date. He attended alone...started getting real depressed because all his friends are getting married and he's spinning his wheels.
It became especially apparent the wedding night. Seems like htere's this new deal where the ENTIRE wedding party spends the night with the bride and groom at a hotel. Yuppers over a dozen guyz n gurlz in several rooms adjacent to the bridal suite. Pool party, beer in the bathtub...things are a lot different from when Wife and I tied the knot.
Wife and I were there for a couple of hours as well. It was sad watching this fellow try to mingle when everybody else was pairing off. He and I ended up sitting in one of the rooms and watching coverage os hurricane Dennis...at least until I left early Sunday morning.
That said here are a couple of other highlights/things I learned from the wedding...
For a year all I heard around the house was...wedding this...blah-blah-blah...wedding that...blah-blah-blah. I know their speaking but all I hears was blah-blah-blah...hey I'm a guy.
Here are some of the festive weekend highlights...and prove why guys aren't into weddings.
In no particular order...
Ceremony opened with 5 minute stand up comedy routine byt Pastor Greg...actually was kinda cool in a guy kinda way.
Now the best...
Being chased by the State Police Copter during the drug bust...
Being strafed by the USAF Thunderbirds jets 50 feet above the car on the way to the reception...
The dead or dying deer flying in front of my car after a mini van in the next lane hit the animal...late saturday night coming back from the reception.
I also learned...
I don't even OWN a pair of dark socks.
A white and red USA baseball cap is NOT considered appropriate attire with a tux...even OUTSIDE the church.
Now it wasn't a total loss. I've come up with a new and I suspect very lucrative idea. Weddings planned by, organized by and totally run by and for MEN! Picture this No wimink at the church...They'll be off to the side in their own room where they can talk and take tens of thousands of pictures to their heart's delight. Meanwhile Men will gather for the ceremony using pictures or possibly life size cutouts of the bride and the other wimink. Vows can be taped or phoned in.
Preferably taped.
For the reception ...again the wimink can gather in a side room while Men enjoy a couple of big screen HDTV's...a few kegs ...and finger food...preferably fried....deep fried. Only wimink present will be Hooters girls...or similar ...attending to filling the mugs, plates...etcetera. Who knows you >might< find a gal more...ummm...interesting.
