Women seem to see it as some right of passage where they will experience the happiest day of their fairy tale lives.

I occasionally offer my 3 sons bits of recurring wisdom…1 they all have memorized is: find out whether a girl they are serious about is interested in a big, expensive, fairy tale wedding…if said girl is, then get rid of her and find a girl more interested in the marriage than the fairy tale wedding.

I, absolutely, agree with this one.

x2. That is great advice! I have a friend that is still paying for making that mistake.

I agree. I’ve always thought the perfect place to get married would be Vegas.

Weddings are such a waste of money. I guess if you are super rich maybe, but I’d much rather put the money towards something tangible.

A big party with friends and family is great. Worrying about matching the colors of the table centerpiece and the brides eyes ruins most peoples enjoyment of their weddings.

Apparently boys have a penis, and girls have something called a wur-gima?

Sounds like a typical date for Push.

He may have been there. We were all pretty liquored up.

Isn’t that how most marriages (and babies) start?

Um…in 2001 women comprised 42% of the labor force, and nearly 25% of all wives out-earned their husbands.

So the majority of the workforce is men and the overwhelming majority of men out earn their wives. Thanks for providing statistics that back him up.[/quote]

The 42% of labor force thing is probably because more girls than boys now go to college. So some of them are studying and not working. As for the second item, well, who is to say that the rest of the numbers stack up in men’s favor? Could be 25% women out earn, 50% earn equally, 25% men out earn, couldn’t it?

But sure as hell it won’t be like that when those disproportionate numbers of girls are out of college and in the workforce competing with their non-college-going male counterparts!

(Joking somewhat. Stay-at-home wives account for most of the difference, I’m sure.)

The wedding thing…I agree. My friends who’ve had big weddings have seemed miserable. I got married at my in-laws’ house. No fuss, no muss, money left over for the honeymoon.

But part of that was because our families lived 2000 miles apart and my mother was fairly recently dead. Why stress everyone out? If I had it to do over I’d do it perhaps a little differently.
