Aug 29, 06:02 PM: Good Luck AJ!
Today we wish AJ & Mark congratulations and best wishes on their wedding day. To them I also say thank you so much for the lovely invitation, I’m sorry I was unable to attend. And by unable I mean unwilling! [LOL] The idea that single guys like to go to weddings to meet single women is a myth perpetuated by Hollywood. Without a date there was no chance of me showing for this sort of event.
Now I fully believe in the importance of supporting your friends and family but weddings are in a category all by themselves. While there are circumstances where I might actually attend a wedding, they are few and far between. I can only think of 3 weddings in the last decade or so that I have actually attended.
While living in Charlotte, NC Judson and I went up to Long Island for a co-worker’s wedding. To be honest I only went for the trip and was not looking forward to the wedding itself at all but it turned out I did know a bunch of people there and it was a crazy party after.
Next I think was my Aunt Pam’s wedding in the back woods of Alabama. My Mum flew to Atlanta and we drove the rest of the way so there was no getting out of that one, plus I wound up doing about half the catering.
The Only other wedding I’ve attended was Tim & Karen’s in which i was best man.
AJ and I have been very close friends for and very very long time so naturaly you’d think I would be there on such an important event. Even though we are close I’m not really friends with any of her friends or family. That along with not having someone to go with and the fact that I don’t drink anymore is more than enough reason to skip this one. Further still it’s my opinion that on their wedding day brides are so besieged by admirers they have no clue as to who is actually in attendance and who isn’t. So if she asks I was there and she just missed me!
