My wedding was modest, as my parents opted out of the deal and my wife's family was of limited means...so we pooled what we had to make it a decent event.

We didn't do a gift registry for the same financial reasons...a lot of well-meaning well-wishers who were short on funds.

Got some nice token wedding gifts, as well as some cheap ones, like a plastic pasta collander from one relative. While most of the other gifts have long since been broken or worn out, the collander is still being used today and sits in a prominent place in the kitchen cabinet! Who would have figured?

I hate weddings, I really hate them. But if you have nothing better to do go, they can be fun if you know a few people their.


I would figure a dinner jacket would work, as for gifts meh whatever crap they want.

That pic G-Benz posted is funny and arousing at the same time.

The wedding is gonna be held at a hotel--Hyatt, I think. I'm not sure of there will be a bar, but I don't care since I don't drink. I'll bring some cash in case I need a soda.

Hmmm, yeah, maybe some of you guys are right, weddings are fertile grounds for lovelorn chicks, or at least chicks who may feel a bit in the mood to hook-up because of the atmosphere and all the subliminal signs weddings give out.

I know there will be quite a few people I know that will be there. The bride-to-be is friends with some people from the place we both used to work at, and I'm sure they were invited. I know most of them pretty well, so it'll be like a little work reunion.

Yeah, I better send my RSVP reply note. It was nice that the envelope is already stamped. Who knows, maybe I'll meet some cute single chick!

Frosty- Go to the wedding and have a good time and remember to wear your best hunting cloths.

Go for it and good luck talent scouting. I wasn't too sure at first advising you to attend but since you will know some people there you have a fall back if the talent is weak.

I was told the proper time to bail out of a wedding reception is after the bride's dance, make sure your gift is properly placed, and thank the appropriate people.
