Objectivisation of women - discrimination or men just being pigs?

I wouldn't invite Mart to anything. He'd get drunk, grope somebody in the bathroom and eat all the cocktail weenies.

I only remember Mart doing the first one when I met him though I didn't check to see what he was up to in the restroom. :zipped:

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

I only was to two weddings. Both were as a kid and I thought they were horrid.

I hope hell is more like a nightclub.

Wha? I love weddings!

Weddings can be awesome or terrible.  My brother's wedding so so terrible I was embarrassed for him and his wife even though they didn't have sense enough to be embarrassed for themselves.  I apologized to all my friends who made the trip.
Did they: have it at The Elks Lodge!

Venue wasn't terrible.  But they only got that place because they knew the golf pro at that course and they got it basically for free.  Everything was done on the cheap.  Music was terrible, food was bland and they had a cash bar with limited options.  They had one bottle of champagne.  One.  As in-- one bottle for the head table to share and that was it.  Silly me, I had a glass and a half assuming there was more and caused a huge scandal.  Only thing we had to entertain us was my drunk aunt.

My parents had paid for the rehearsal dinner which was great.  I knew her parents were "thrifty", but didn't realize they'd skimp on every aspect of the wedding.  And it's not like they didn't have the money.

I've never been to a bad wet wedding and I've never been to a good dry one.  I can't think of any other social event that is so heavily booze dependent.

Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Come to think of it, every wet wedding I've been to has had an open bar.

So you prefer overpaying for drinks than free drinks?  Weird.

My sister's wedding was a week-long Romneytacular in Nantucket that cost more than some peoples' yearly salaries.  I ate lobster every day. 

I would want my wedding--were I to leave my senses long enough--to be schmaltzy and corny Vegas-style, performed by an jumpsuited and caped Elvis impersonator at 3am with $20 worth of complimentary casino chips and a free coupon for our "Hunka Hunka Burnin' Brunch!" Special.  But I don't think this is 1971 anymore.

Although it was always nice to be posting the occasional appeal bail in a circuit court somewhere, and chance upon somebody getting married right there at the counter in the clerk's office.  Usually senior citizens, but not always.  That was always kind of sweet.

Marriage is an overrated, outdated, religious buffoonery.

Our wedding was the two of us, my mom, a student photographer with a friend lugging her gear, and my wife's school friend, and a wedding commissioner in a park overlooking the Pacific Ocean on a Saturday. We stayed a night in a fancy hotel and went back on Sunday. Monday we went to work.

Some months later we had a dinner at a fancy restaurant in Chengdu as well, for local family and friends. I think it was about a hundred or hundred and twenty people. I brought six friends with me from Canada for the cultural learnings and tourism, but other than that I had little input on what happened or little idea what was going on most of the time. Which suited me perfectly.

Pay?  I figure Marti just runs up big bar tabs and then welches on them.  Well, assuming he really is a lawyer.
