Mine too.

My sister went to a wedding recently when the guy cut his groom's cake with a sword and said he was of House "Insertlastname" and all of that.

i will make my best man "Hand of the King"

Why make him Hand? Are you planning on having him killed?

Jon Arryn - Dead
Ned Stark - Dead
Tyrion Lannister - on trial and may be executed
Tywin Lannister - healthy and running shite

I give your best man a 50% chance of survival at best and at worst a 75% chance of dying.

He's one plotting sob.

Apparently, the understatement of the post-Rhaegar Targaryen age.

Hodor here-

So why did the Mad King's son kid nap Ned's sister?

Hodor

Basically that.

One more-

If Tywin is so worried about having an heir to take over Casterly Rock, why didn't he remarry and try for a non-imp, non-Kingsguard son?

Because Tywin is an absolute hypocrite and wouldn't be happy having a new wife, so instead he just forces his children to do what he himself doesn't want to do. Logically what you're saying makes sense, but Tywin is a self centered douche no matter how much he claims he does things for his family. Tyrion called him out last season and he was right to. Really the only reason Tywin didn't kill Tyrion is he didn't want to be cursed by the Gods as a kinslayer, since that is one step below breaking Guest's Rights in the eyes of the Gods.

Agreed. Tywin is a hypocrite and I'm surprised that he didn't remarry after Joanna died.

Maybe they don't have prenups in Westeros, Tywin has a lot more to lose than the last time he got married.
