Thank you all for your wedding insight...
I have decided to not want to go to X's wedding and that it will be shit - however, it will make my girlfriend happy.
With regards to the best man role - we are going to brass it up in Prague at no expense
Thank you NT
Karlo

I went to a wedding in Prague a couple of years ago, unfortunately it was shit.

The stag night is in Prague not the wedding ;)

i have to agree with loudubs..
i never got the whole wedding thing either.. all that ceremonial stuff.
it's simply not my cup of tea.
and my friends know that, and repsect me for it.

Try not to have the stag night in a Salvation Army hostel and you should have a great time.

phew, a voice of sanity in the wildnerness of tradition and situations that people refer to as a "waste", but still must attend or arrange to. We're gonna have a regime change in this nation, but that has nothing to do with the paradigm shift we must work for in order to tend to our culture of traditions...much like a bonsai tree...trimming it, stunting some areas of growth, etc...Is the "wedding industry" in America, typically, a force amongst the "people of the lie"?

and by the way, weddings can be intimate, beautiful things.....i'm referring to a general notion

the wedding industry contributes to armless youth in angola via diamond mining. try to explain that concept to an average american woman.

although it is on the surface disk of my mind, dob, im not even talking about the global enslavement for luxury items....but good point....i just get tired of people saying "marriage sucks" or "weddings are a waste of money" and REALLY mean it, but still go forward with it as if by ethereally downloading this wedding industry mess whether it is bad, so-so, or emotionally shallow and then suggesting you do it or suggesting that it is something people who are in a heavy relationship MUST do. Not to mention that the new digital reality of weddings make it about as spiritually meaningfull as a trip to the Tokyo McDonalds. Weddings do not define the state of love.

"As I see it, dont do things buy half... If you cant afford it... wait till next year"
Karlo, weddings are expensive. In LA, even with hook ups, it's very easy to have a 20-30k wedding.
i decided for mine to go to italy. everyone is invited but they must pay their own way and pay for their own accomodations. my 2 girlfriends will be buying their dresses. i dont expect anyone to buy me big gifts or any at all. them being there is enough for me. it will be good times and everyone is going to have tons of fun. but my family isnt rich. my mom cant afford to shell out that kind of cash -- ever. i want to buy a house. we cant afford to shell out that kinda cash.
if it makes you so angry and you dont want to happily contribute to this girl's special day.... dont fucking go.

ARE, ARE, ARE...
weddings *CAN* be expensive..
i have to agree fully with loudubs here..
my notion of real love is something intimate and deep... not infected by sheer materialism and blind tradition.

trivia question, can anyone trace the origins of the 'modern' American wedding ritual?
- ********0
i ask this simply because the course of history has not been kind to the emotional truth of humanity...that, until every human being can objectify or make superficial their "marriage rites", then "marriage" has no meaning, it is a word left undefined by those afraid to define it.

People have been getting married for hundreds of years and nothing has ever come of it.
Do what thou wilt!
- DutchBoy0
yeah.
i have seen too many marriages fuck up.
i have too many friends that once thought they found the right one, and it all turned out in drama..
anyway. i am just a bit more critical, perhaps even cynical.
to me, love needs to grow and cannot be forced or being secured by a ritual of which we actually know very little.

mal and dutch, indeed....but all these things shall pass
- Mal0
indeed that is my hope.

With my girl for 10 years- married for a few months- and still it felt special- it's corney, it's ritual, and those not in the moment to do it never understand it but its a nice day and I couldn't be happier.
