Or how about any person that appears as the subject on "Cops."

Or where to send the invitation - P.O. Box or RFD route.

Wedding Question
 

Ditto the Irish Catholic ones. Never out of hundreds.

But I was at one this weekend in the Port Huron, MI area where after the traditional processional, a singer sang a song from Fiddler on the Roof (something about how did my daughter grow up this quickly?).

There were two other musical numbers thrown into the ceremony too. I'm a big fan of Church's ceremonial music and all, but I had to admit, the showtunes Catholic church wedding was the coolest ceremony I've seen in awhile.

OTOH, even without dollar dances or five dollar fellatio, some of the Irish Catholic receptions are a bit closer to the scene from "the Deer Hunter" than I'd like to admit. Especially if there is an italian family involved NTTAWWT.

Was there just a 20K?

I thought it was odd when I first saw it at my sister in law's wedding (actually, my wife's sister's husband's sister's wedding - what is that?). She had a small silk pouch. I just chalked it up to being a way to help out a starting family though, rather than an opportunity to look down on others. And while most of the people just gave a dollar, I noticed afterward when we were helping clean up that several people had made much larger contributions - there were several $100 bills in the bag.

Edited to add something passing as substantive. And then again because I'm an idiot.

Maybe its regional - I've been to numerous weddings -albeit most on east coast - and have never heard of or witnessed this custom. Of course I'm also a snob - one should never serve keg beer at a party once out of college/grad/law school - certainly not at a wedding - buy decent beer for your friends. (And asking guests to pay for and haul the keg sounds like a bad ep of the Dukes of Hazzard).

Yeah, Kafka's timing is a bit off, apparently.

Eh? What if it's good beer, that happens to come in a keg?

Although I'll leave it to TF to define "good," kegs aren't limited to Bud, Bud Light, and MGD.

Nah. I was going for the much more prestigious K-5. :-)

Actually, I stepped out for a few moments. Bastards!

Groovey. I have just done that. I will encourage the Mr. to do the same, and he buys lots more books than I do.

BR(couldn't get up the nerve to spend $140 on the directors cut verision of Dawn of the Dead, tho, sorry - WTFIUWT, $140 on a DVD? My completely fabulous limited edition Evil Dead DVD with the cool squishy-face-cover didn't cost nearly that!)C

Actually, keg beer is fresher than bottled beer b/c it hasn't been pasteurized to kill the yeast. This is why most heavier (and better) beers are served by the pint, and not via bottle.

Which leads me to a point I've tried to make many times to my friends. Wedding receptions SHOULD serve good keg beer. It tastes better, and everyone walks around with a GLASS instead of a bottle. Even at receptions where the bartenders insist on putting the bottled beer in a glass, people always seem to be walking around with bottles, which I can't stand. Everyone should be drinking from a GLASS. Good, fresh keg beer guarantees this. Unfortunately, people don't understand the freshness aspect and get Heinekin instead. And as I've said before, I'd rather drink my own urine than Heinekin.

No one ever agrees with me on this point, though.

Agree on the asking guests to buy and haul kegs, but years of personal research in the area has shown that "good" beers come in kegs, and from a purely practical point of view, it's a lot easy to handle the disposal of cups than bottles/cans.

Of course, some of the best weddings I've been to have been barbeque or Mexican buffets, served on paper plates, in parish halls or gyms or someone's back yard or the fireman's hall, with enough beer to last all night long, so I might not be snobby enough.

That's the one day of the year he gets to see breasts again.

He's quite excited.

Awww. Poor misguided Flower. Here. Have a cookie.

If you start with a really good keg beer, your urine probably IS better than the Heinekin, as the brewing process is quite similar, but Heinie uses cheaper ingredients.
