I think the whole point is to be results oriented. It's silly to discuss worse trades ever without discussing the ones that went horrifically wrong due to injuries or draft picks or whatever.

She has done things like not allowing groomsmen to have dates to the wedding unless they are married (only 1 of us) even if they are in other long-term relationships (two of us have girlfriends that we've been with longer than they've been together), complaining about how none of the groomsmen had bought a wedding present a month before the wedding (she knows this bc she asked for gifts to be shipped to her parents house and has been opening them), and adding all kinds of ridiculous accessories to an odd colored tux that will cost over $200 to rent for one day despite being from men's wearhouse (base price is $99).
Holy crap, this sucks. Everyone chip in for a great set of golf clubs? Not a golf fan, how about something else sports or booze related?

Children is an amazingly polarizing issue. No middle ground at all. I feel fortunate to have successfully traversed that minefield with all my limbs intact. But I think no kids is def reasonable.

That's not to say that not allowing GROOMSMEN to bring dates (within reason, there was a non-zero chance my one unmarried groomsman would have brought an escort) isn't hugely lol.
Groomsman bringing an escort is a hudge win for the party tho. It's all about the party.

Whoa, I only saw the one whorish one, and IIRC she was fringish family in some way to one of you, where were the others?
