Wedding question

Yeah, we tend to shove questions like "Is Canadian healthcare sustainable?" into that category.

 

For the most part. And my total dislike of weddings.

 

Given your attitude, I would just man up and not go. Tell your friends you don't do weddings.

Somehow I don't think the couple will think a thing of it.

 

And he should still send a gift.

 

You dislike free food and single, desperate women?

I'm guessing you are not married because this thread would have never started if you had a wife... right?

 

Good call. Imagine the conversation if he had one.

Dude: Honey, we don't really have to go to this wedding, do we?
Mrs. Dude: (glares)
Dude: Um...okay....we don't have to buy a gift, though, right?

Then bad things start to happen.

 

Winner, winner. Chicken dinner.

Regarding my intolerance for weddings, I just think they're fake for the most part. It's not about celebrating your marriage. It's about seeing who can blow $25,000 of their parents' money on crap like flower arrangements.

Just go to the justice of the peace, sign some paper, get a room and knock it out.

 

Fixed.

Seriously, though. Go.

If you have a chance in hell of ever feeling the soft shape of a woman, after a wedding is a great time.

 

Dude should definitely share this philosophy with any woman he meets. They are all sure to be impressed.

 

Can you somehow package up your cynicism and put a bow on it? Because that would be really sweet.

 

I can't say I disagree. The Wedding Industrial Complex has a powerful hold on this country.
