When it becomes just a game, it ain't worth playing.

Wow. I don't know your friend and hate to say something like this about someone I don't know, but that seems like a really conceited thing to do.

Is there a good reason that he's doing it this way? Or does he really think his choice of best man deserves a drumroll unveiling?


its not like he wants to make a big announcement or anything. he just hasnt decided on one yet as far as everyone knows so we are all thinking that he will just tell us at the party. it would just be really crappy on my part if i didnt show and he picks me. which i will gladly be the best man.

Exactly. That football game is as unimportant as any high school game played this weekend.

This engagement party is actually important and involves the lives of individuals the OP is supposed to care about.

Is waiting for a shower type thing to announce your best man a common thing?

I just called my brother a couple weeks ago and asked him

Then what's the issue? It is just a football game.

Yeah right.

If true, does the fiance dislike you or something? This is what the summer is for.

I have no problem with this. On the list of importance, 18 year olds playing football is pretty low in my priorities.

Problem is he is announcing his best man at the party

It sounds like your friend has the inside track with the info. I think he is in the lead to be named in this oh-so-desirable position of best man.

Troll on

invite your friend and his fiancee to an event either during the season finale of The Voice or during the season premiere of Game of Thrones

methinks you will learn their loyalty based on the response

I'm in kind of a similar situation but not quite the same. My GF's family is have fricking family reunion this coming saturday. My GF completely expects me to go and I've chalked it up to one of those things that I just have to do. Well, now we are having serious fricking problems if I had to bet on it, we'll probably be breaking up in the next month or so. Trying to work through it but it ain't looking so hot. Anyway, do I just expediate the probable result and screw the reunion to go to the game? I'm going to be pissed if I miss the game and we break up next f'n week. I'm not trying to be cool because I really don't want to break up with her and will be upset about but I'm really starting to think the writing is on the wall.


Go to the game, sounds like y'all could use a break.

hahhaa

you know that dude needs to pack his stuff if he goes to that game

skipping family stuff during a rough patch of serious dating is usually a very bad idea. she will have to answer questions....questions she doesnt want to answer....sucks, but it is true

I guess I'm just a shithead then because I wouldn't have thought twice about going to the game, rough patch or not. He's not part of her family.

Is everyone just ignoring the OP's additional comments about how he is just assuming that the groom will tell them who the best man is at the party? It sounds like this is just some fantasy that the OP has cooked up in his mind so that he can get a rose from the groom and prance around and gloat with it in front of his other friends to make them jealous.

The groom probably has no intention to make some big announcement at the party.

WTF? What kind of people do this?

- Having an engagement party and announcing the best man = lame.

- Scheduling it on a college football Saturday = lame.

- Giving you 3 WEEKS NOTICE there will be a party = lame.

- Scheduling the wedding for next year, in the fall, on yet another gameday = lame.

I tell my buddy, who obviously does not have any balls or he would tell those girls to reschedule the party, that I'm sorry I won't be bale to make it on such short notice as I already have plans for that weekend.

Take yourself out of consideration as best man explaining that you know he has a difficult choice between the you and the other two guys and that maybe it would make things easier if you were not considered.

Enjoy going to the game and pray this wedding never happens. Probably the last time you'll see this buddy as his new wife wears the pants in this relationship and he won't be allowed to hang out with his friends after they are married.
