Yea I get the night before in law meal. That is logical. The rehearsal.... less so.

 

Literally buying into the wedding industrial complex is insane and old fashioned and decadent behavior; while a night before dinner and drinks meetup is super helpful overall, and just plain awesome when the goal is to share things with people you love, but having some kind of intricate/pedantic ceremony that requires actual rehearsal is so oddly obedient to a consumerist and ridiculous event economy that I will never (again LOL) align with.

Sabres ownership then? 

 

The idea is to get him a gift not start a fight.

Peak off-season.

For super rich people, I bet everyone was told “no gifts” or give money to some charity on their behalf. 

Now I know what Larry Davis was obsessing about all week.

I just hope you enjoyed the self-own I've further emphasized above.

It's also an opportunity for in-laws who may not be very familiar with each other to spend some time then share a meal together.

 

Unless the groom's friends spoil it by booking some prostitutes through a gay pimp they met in Chicago while looking for the a wedding dress maker.

Interesting take.  I like it.  But it's only one example of a consumer economy running way out of control.  Cars and watches and vacations and cell phones and restaurants and and and.

I mean I don't own a car and I haven't worn a watch for years and years. Vacations and nice meals in restaurants however have a lot more worth than wedding rehearsals!

For you and me, perhaps, but it isn't for us to decide what rehearsal dinners are worth to others.  To each his own. 

 

$1000 to see a Bills game is ridiculous, but I've done it.

I separate the dinners from the rehearsing walking and turning around. Which by any objective measure are a colossal waste of time

That's wrong. That's like saying football practice is a colossal waste of time. In both instances, it's about practicing to increase the chances of a successful outcome

I was there, gize. Gucci suit and Dipset chain, ya dig?

You buy good quality, you only need to do it once every 10 years, if even.  And most last longer than the average marriage.  Getting a new cell phone every other year or spending a ton on vacations, restaurants and concert tix, yeah.

Agreed! I have been on a big Curb binge the last few weeks.  These photos just felt like the next episode! 

It looks like McDermott was standing in front of him.  Did Larry complain about the glare coming off McD’s dome?

Walking and turning around? Needs practice? Come on Shaw. You're better than that. Total waste of time.

You’re talkin about practice. Practice. Not a game. Practice.

There is a FOMO aspect to our culture...everyone always one upping each other.....it is dumb, especially for a wedding.  I mean if you can truly afford it, meaning you have the money and your life does not change when you write the check fine whatever but people go in debt for weddings.

Now I'm wondering if he just stood outside the wedding, waiting to be invited in.  (A Sinners reference to those that have seen the movie).

 

Its all starting to make sense now.

Sorry I can't say...

Gunner, with all respect, you're running on about the topic of dissing weddings and wedding events like rehearsal to a degree I haven't seen in you before.  It seems disproportionate.  "Methinks the Laddie Doth Protest Too Much"

 

If you don't think wedding rehearsals are worthwhile or useful => don't have one

Other people find them worthwhile and useful => what's it to you?  their rehearsal isn't coming out of your savings

Gunner, you are so vehement on this topic that I'm starting to picture you with the weird habit of stalking churches, parks, resorts, and other venues where weddings occur charting whether or not there's a rehearsal and whether or not there are snafus to the wedding, to develop those "objective measures"

 

You aren't, of course.  This isn't your lane, you're not an officiant or a planner or an event coordinator and you honestly have no idea whether the things are useful or not.  So why are you so invested in this?

I'm honestly curious at this point.
