Would you be offended if...

/THREAD

But seriously , this is further evidence that America has become sissified.

 

best man is in charge of the bachelor party if im not mistaken. nobody wants a neutered married guy to do festivity planning.

 

^ Good one. You said it better than me, sir.

Why would you want to put that alkaline corrosive material where you sleep?

ima_dummy2k? :grin: LOL... lye... bwahahaha...

 

i don't like attending weddings in general so i would be ecstatic if i were never asked to be the best man.

 

You are a man. Deal with it.

 

Not even if it's open bar?

There is nothing - and I mean NOTHING - better than free alcohol.

 

Life is too short to be offended.

 

Who cares? There are much bigger things to worry about in life. Just be happy for your friend.

 

Wouldn't bother me but I never had a best man, me and the wife got married at the justice of the peace then took off for Maui, wedding always struck me as a waste of money....

 

My mother in law told me about a hippie wedding she went to in the 70s that had a gift bag at every table that included a joint.

My best friend got married last week in the Woodlands. Had 2 kegs. Those were greatly appreciated considering it was 90 degrees outside.

 

only if that open bar is at an after party. receptions still require a bit of reservation and decorum.

 

although a little harsh, it's a perfect response.

Don't act like a woman.

 

Cheese factor alert. You should write Ted's character on How I Met Your Mother.

 

I put yes, but only because it depends on who it is -- and who the best man is for that matter. I mean, if we're talking my best friend (he's like my brother) and he was my best man but I wasn't his I'd be a little bothered. Unless his best man was one of his brothers or something; I can't be upset about that. It just depends on the situation, under most cases it is what it is.

Note: I'd be "offended", but I wouldn't stop being friends with the person or anything stupid like that. It'd bother me for a few minutes then that'd be the end of it.

 

According to my father in law, we floated 3 kegs and drank slightly over 100 bottles of wine at our wedding. A good time was had by all, even though I didn't know 75% of the people there.

 

What if you had someone who you thought should be your best man, but they have already asked somebody else in their wedding?

 

As long as he still asked you to be part of the wedding, you shouldn't be offended. If my best man didn't even include me in the wedding party, I would be slightly offended (depending on size and other circumstances).

 

This is what I normally do in the afternoons.

 

damn how did you know what I did when my buddy didnt choose me to be his bestman?

 

Nobody wants a p***y little husband to run a bachelor's party.
