This is getting to be a bad habit.

Gotta attend another wedding today. I'd like to stay away from those things. I beginning to think the only reason I get invited is cause I stick cash in a card. This time a BIL is getting remarried. 2nd one this year doing that. This time I telling the bride that she could have done better, way better!

I went to a funeral yesterday, though I'm not a big fan of weddings either, I'd rather go to one of those than a funeral.

I love weddings. Well not so much the ceremony as
the reception and dance. Everybody so happy and in
such good moods. And I love to dance.

Local blacksmith told me he had a funeral to go to in several weeks. When I asked him about the long notice, he said it was really a wedding, but he considered it a funeral. (BTW- who put fun in a funeral?)

An old Preacher told me once that he would rather do Funerals,,said they last longer...

I try to only go to the funerals of the
people who will go to mine

Our Pastor told us that there is no requirement in Scripture to have a funeral; funerals are a man-made deal.

I can't go to funerals or weddings as I'm allergic to perfume - and both of those events are always heavy with perfume. Staying away suits me just fine.

That would depend on just who they are holding the funeral for!

I told a guy once that I admired him greatly, so much so that I was going to pour a bottle of the finest scotch on his grave.......and to prove how much I liked him that I would filter that scotch thought my own body first!

Free food!

Just make sure you take a week's worth of left-overs home with you and as much cake as you can. Make it like a trip to the grocery store. :lol:

It's pot luck, we have to take food with us. I hate pot luck. Pot luck is where all these women with grandma's "old family recipes" that their hubby's and kids refuse to eat at home, subject unsuspecting people to a gastronomical disaster! Or else they take all the leftovers that have been in the fridge for YEARS, mix them together and call it a "hot dish".

I won't eat there. I'll wait till I get home.

Don't even want to attend the wedding dance. Got bad knees. Can't get out there anymore. Because it's the wife's brother I have to be there. But it's family, wife's brother (who I don't really care for) So I'll make the wife and MIL happy and be there. Maybe I'll get lucky and someone in the family will start a fight! Then I can sit back, watch and laugh!

Last wedding I was at was fun. My nephews. Very interesting people to include an active duty Admiral.

I always get into arguments about who the best man
is.

rrlund · Dec 20, 2014

Better that than the three funerals I've had to go to this week.

Eddie V · Dec 20, 2014

Just give a card and tell him good luck
Leave it at that

That's why all weddings should be in nudist colonies! Then everyone will know who the "best" man really is :twisted: :twisted:

I'd take a wedding the way things have been as of late. It seems quite a few more people are dying that I know. I agree with those in that if the invitation is a cash grab just put a minimal amount in the card and do not worry about outdoing anybody else. I remember years ago a co-worker used to need about three Saturdays per month off for what he claimed were weddings. I always thought he was a lying sack of manure on that issue but the boss nearly always gave him what he wanted and he was the worst employee by anybody's admission. I usually got stuck working many a weekend because of it. Still makes me go GGGRRR thinking about it.

funerals suck when its some one you know-- weddings
suck when its someone you dont know --

Big fire in fireplace, food, snacks, all our friends, Scoutmasters, all the Cubs, all the Scouts, all the bald old geezer Scouts. Once in a lifetime, I'm gonna really appreciate every monent. Happen one time.

Naw, as a friend of mine in the clothing business says; "It ain't what you wear, it's how you wear it!!"

Recently attended the wedding of a couple who had lived together for 22years. No use rushing into these things! Actually a nice wedding, and a fun time at the reception.

This is getting to be a bad habit.
