aftermid 0 #1 May 16, 2005 Seems like there should be more options, but I don't see them. Weddings are boring enough ladies, don't schedule them Memorial Day weekend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mailin 0 #2 May 16, 2005 It's easier scheduling those during holidays to ensure that more people can come - not having to schedule time off of work because you'll already have the time off for the holiday. Thats the reason I scheduled mine for New Years weekend. Want to score points with the GF?

skycat 0 #3 May 16, 2005 It was probably not the brides 1st choice of dates, but if they had a lot of family traveling from out of town it probably made sense so no one would have to take time off from work.Fly it like you stole it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildblue 7 #4 May 16, 2005 QuoteWant to score points with the GF? Don't be an ass at HER sisters wedding Screw that. Get drunk and belligerent at the reception. You don't want to be part of that family anyway. I got invited to one Mem. Day weekend too... I decided "I'll be out of town" sounded like a good, very plausable excuse.it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #5 May 16, 2005 Seems to me that it would be easier to reschedule the camping trip than the wedding. Can't you go camping on the next weekend?She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BRYANGOESBOOM 0 #6 May 16, 2005 how long has she been your gf??? how long have you been going on this trip??? Not only will you look better, feel better, and fuck better; you'll have significantly increased your life expectancy. --Douva Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slappie 9 #7 May 16, 2005 QuoteIt was probably not the brides 1st choice of dates, but if they had a lot of family traveling from out of town it probably made sense so no one would have to take time off from work. I would take all that into consideration. Then I would tell my buddies to save me a spot on the camping canoe trip. Kiss my girlfriend on the cheek then climb in my car and head off to have a nice weekend of camping and canoing. I hate weddings and funerals. I will do my best to avoid them both.

Peej 0 #8 May 16, 2005 Go to the wedding bro, i can't tell you how pleased your lady will be, plus you'll score MAJOR points. These can be redeemed later when you want her to go to somethig that's important to you. Advertisio Rodriguez / Sky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was probably forced by a girlfriend to go to a wedding. He is just trying to get you to be as miserable as he was!! Dude, you can NEVER redeem good guy points. You must assert yourself now and do what you want. Or later on she's just going to walk all over you.

PhreeZone 20 #12 May 16, 2005 See you Memorial Weekend then Weddings are a waste of time for everyone but the Bride and Groom and for the most part they only want you there to get $ or gifts. Send a token gift, apoligize to the GF for leaving her for the weekend and go have fun.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shotgun 1 #13 May 16, 2005 Well as long as you don't mind your girlfriend finding someone else as a date for the wedding, then go ahead and go on the camping trip. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weegegirl 2 #14 May 16, 2005 I have no room to talk. I skipped a wedding this weekend. And I'm skipping two Memorial Day weekend. My whuffo friends are about to vote me off the island I think. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lindsey 0 #18 May 16, 2005 I would never, ever, EVER schedule something like that for a weekend when next-to NOBODY really wants to be there. Since it's your girlfriend's sister's wedding, I'd go if it's important to your girlfriend. linz-- A conservative is just a liberal who's been mugged.

daniel_owen_uk 0 #19 May 16, 2005 If you do go to the wedding make sure your GF realises how important the camping trip was, that way you score more points for missing it __________________ BOOM Headshot Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conundrum 1 #20 May 16, 2005 A wedding is more important than a weekend of partying that you can do any other weekend. Or maybe I'm the only one who gives a shit about that kind of stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DeNReN 0 #22 May 16, 2005 I say if your not in the wedding party............then its canoe trip time .........after all your the only one with first aid training right???.....would be dangerous to let your friends go on a canoe trip without someone qualified to possibly save a life Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Casurf1978 0 #25 May 16, 2005 I would go. I'd be bummed about missing the annual trip, but if she is important to you go. Take your rig along who knows maybe you can disappear for a few hours to a DZ that might be near by. Tell her its mental therapy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
