I wouldn't be able to keep my mouth shut at that wedding. Even in a situation like that where it doesn't affect me at all, I would feel the need to tell one of them that everyone knows what's up. God help me if I'm ever in a room with Lindsey Graham.

She's prob one of those girls who stupidly see their single status as a failure. Some are so desperate that they'll marry anyone just so they can say they are a wife.

Happens all the time.

yes, I meant carats!

No, I want nothing to do with her. let that ship sail over a year ago.

she told me specific stories about how he'd turn her down all the time when she was obviously ready to rock and how he didn't ask questions about her going home every other weekend to see her family

I think it was a don't ask don't tell situation. sad deal. she was IRL 8.75 OT 6.75 (fake boobs are deduction, as is a nosejob, correct)

That's where I'm at, except it does affect me in the sense that I have to pay several hundred dollars and a weekend where could otherwise spend time being productive and relaxing.

A wedding in a small gas station in Krotz Springs, LA. The Justice of the Peace owned the gas station and that is where his office was.

I got invited to the wedding of a former co-worker. It was going to be her third marriage and she was in her early 30s. She had met the guy online a month or so earlier before they decided to get hitched. She had already done a similar thing with her second husband -- knew him for a short time, got married, then found out he was an unsuccessful pot dealer. I just couldn't show up and say shite like "Congratulations, I know y'all will be so happy!" Especially because she had a little girl from her first marriage.
Think she ended up divorcing the guy and getting married at least once again. I see her on Facebook from time to time. She's found Jesus.

My buddy was home on leave from Iraq. They were scheduled to get married towards the end of his leave. He didn't know his exact leave dates when they planned it. So they got married shortly after getting off the plane and still had the big wedding a week or so after. Only his closest friends knew that it was only for show. It was literally a farce. We call it the faux-wedding.

Yeah, by the end of the wedding I lot of folks knew. In the end the show was mainly for the grandmothers and family who had traveled a good ways to be at "the wedding".

Exactly. That's actually common as well when people want destination weddings in other countries that may have strict rules about how long you have to reside there to be able to get married there.


Couple gets legally married back in the states...has their "wedding" at their dream location.

My first one ended up being a farce, but it took a couple of years.

I agree, that doesn't seem too bad. A friend of mine was planning a huge wedding with her divorced parents who made every detail a nightmare and were making her a nervous wreck. She kept joking that she & her fiance were going to do the vows secretly with a justice of the peace earlier so she could relax and have fun at her wedding (and probably also to secretly spite her parents). I always wonder if they actually did that.

just went to one last weekend. high school friend of my wife. Cant see it lasting more than a couple of years. Girl was banging all kinds of dudes every time he left town. wanted to tell him because i kinda felt bad for him but promised i wouldn't. they're both pretty shitty individuals anyways so i really couldn't care less. Pretty sure the only reason she said yes was because her dad is really sick and she wanted to get married before he passed.

Something is seriously wrong with them. Sexual behavior (normal) is one indicator of mental health in adults. As a licensed clinician, that is one of several indicators I look at.
