WOAT wedding was my friend getting married at 18. Reception felt like a school dance with a bunch of parents as chaperones, and they gave wristbands to people 21+, ****ing wristbands.

Kind of crazy to realize that people used to regularly get married at 18/19, early twenties.

outside of costing you money, I really don't mind going to weddings. Food is good most of the time and open bar.

Don't get married and invite 400 people, i.e., don't get married to a woman that would invite 400 people to her wedding.

No doubt. I've attended plenty of weddings within driving distance. Can't imagine shelling out 2 gees to fly over the country and stay in decent hotels for 5 weddings every year. Seems like a pretty hudge life leak.

Wedding blitz is far worse for girls, they have to buy expensive dresses for everything

And of course stupid women think THEIR WEDDING IS GOING TO BE THE BEST and all pick $500 bridesmaid dresses

Also any guy who agrees to cut out the open bar for flowers/cake/whatever is a ****ing tool and deserves a lifetime of misery

Weddings are great. Anyone who says otherwise seems like a pretty big life nit, a terrible friend, or a general bore.

Went to 3 last year and missed the flight to DC for one other. Got to the airport 2 hours early and everything from checkin to security was ****ed. 39 people missed my flight and we were 28 and 29 for standby the rest of the day on overbooked flights. Ended up going to NOLA that weekend given we had two tickets and only NOLA and Jacksonville were within a 2.5 hour flight with seats available.

My sister's is the only one I know of on the docket this summer though.

Weddings def great, but 7 in a year is a lot and ties up up a lot of your weekends

so what's the optimal open bar strategy? is it $20 tip to start off the night, which results in great service and unbearably strong drinks or save your money and get normal service?

if you're a single guy, weddings are pretty much shooting fish in a barrel. open bar, bride's single friends, sadness over not being in a relationship, afterparties, hotel. also the added factor of classmates you haven't seen in awhile.
