I will be going to my 7th wedding in 2009 tomorrow and sadly not my last. This will be the second wedding that is on a Friday. Thankfully the others in the past were on Saturdays and the future ones this year are also on a Saturday. I am so sick of the same old shit, and sadly the wife has been a part of the bridal party in 5 of the weddings. So that means for every fucking wedding she is in the bridal party she has to buy the bridesmaid dress and I have to go to the annoying rehearsal dinners. I have no problem giving these people a card with money in it. I just wish I didn't have to waste either a Friday or Saturday night sitting at a table drinking beer that I would never drink, and not being able to watch sports. No one cares about the stupid first dance, what the best man has to say, and how great they are together. I sure as hell don't and I would say 95% of the people there dont. You want people to actually enjoy and remember your wedding. Just invite the people who are involved in your everyday life and family. They care or have a bar with a TV, and a huge selection of beers.
