I tend to only start threads when I am butthurt, and this is no exception - level 9 butthurt right now. It's starting to chap.

Who the hell thinks this is a good idea unless you live in Alaska? I am a sweaty animal, have always been a sweaty animal, and will always be a sweaty animal. You put me in a suit in the sun on a warm to hot day, and I sweat like Brendan Frazier in Bedazzled.



I simply don't trust people who can wear multiple layers in direct sunlight on a breezeless, 80+ degree day and not sweat. It's not normal, and it's rude to assume that I am capable of such a feat.

I'm looking for sympathy, but apathy and insults will do as well.

I also realize that love and weddings are not about my comfort, but dammit is A/C too much to ask? It's 2017. We have drones. Fly one to my seat, and I'll let the rotating wings cool me down.

I have to be in a wedding the day of the Arkansas game in Birmingham. You can take your hot wedding somewhere else and bitch about it

Unless it's an immediate family member or best friend, I'm not going to that shite.

It's amusing, because the type of bride who insists on an outdoor southern July/August wedding (over everyone's objections) is the type of bride who will bitch when everyone is sweaty and dragging arse during pictures.

If you do this, I'm not going. If its a close enough family member or friend that I have to go, then 99% chance I am close enough with them to tell them they are an a-hole for having an outdoor wedding, and I will to at least make myself feel better.

Even in May...
My son got married Memorial Day weekend in Houston .. The week before was 80f and cool and no humidity. Of course by the next week it was hot and humid. I was dripping in my monkey suit.

But only for my kids......

I made an agreement when I got hitched that I'm not going to weddings or kids birthday parties or any other stupid shite.

The first one she tried was a couples shower on me. I laughed and headed for Venice for Teal season. I laughed as I headed out the door.

I did outdoor July wedding. Plenty of parking. Big arse tent. 10 minute ceremony. Early in the day.

Reception on site and indoors, ice cold beers waiting for folks.

We did it right.

SO many people do it wrong.

You did an outdoor wedding in July so no you did not do it right.

Best man in a wedding at a plantation in St Francisville that was outside in fricking July. We drank bourbon in the limo on the way there too. I had handkerchief in my pocket to wipe the sweat out of my eyes but it was absolutely miserable

Better than outdoor weddings during football season.

My sister did this for her wedding right slap in the middle of the day in late June. One of her bridesmaids passed out during the reading of the vows. All of them were in dressed in black from head to toe.

I have weddings I have to attend during the Florida and Arkansas games this year. Not happy to say the least.

This you just don't do. Eventually your anniversary will fall on the biggest game of the year

Having an outdoor wedding in the summer in Louisiana is just as rude as a destination wedding.

Having an outdoor wedding in the south during summer is a good way to keep the wedding costs down since only close friends and family are going to put up with sitting through that kind of humidity and heat in a suit.

There are very few people I care enough about to go to a wedding anytime of the year. But, I might be willing to lose a few friends over this if necessary.
