Bachelor Party

You know you want one. But just not like your buddies from last year. You remember the one down in Baja. The one with the Donkey show. Yeah, it really was that big. Changed your perspective didn’t it. Gave you a healthy appreciation for the female anatomy, huh. And besides, after a few hail Mary’s in Our-Sister-of-WTF-Were-You-Thinking, you felt better about it. So for your event, you want to go a little more sedate. Maybe something with Princess Leah and that sexy green Jedi Master. Or how about a high Heeled Storm Trooper? Hey after last year, anything is possible, right?

Bizarre Wedding

Drunk Groom

I had a feeling that modern weddings come from a bizarre and slightly misogynistic ritual. This would explain why modern men chafe at the thought of serving under the yoke of marriage…The roots of marriage are downright barbaric! Of course it sucks even worse for the women, if you look at the history of marriage, right down to the bride being given away at the altar.

Jenn Thompson writes:

All of our society’s gender issues stem from the fact that fathers once used their daughters as currency to a) pay off a debt to a wealthier land owner, b) symbolize a sacrificial, monetary peace offering to an opposing tribe or c) buy their way into a higher social strata.

Of course, brides to be were not always so willing…or at least the family of the bride-to-be was not always so willing.

World of Wifecraft

I don’t think I have laughed so hard at a YouTube video since about, say, 20 minutes ago, but I stumbled upon this one and thought it was pretty amusing. It also is a pretty good indicator of what being married will probably be like for geeks like myself.
The prewife and I are looking forward to buying a Nintendo Wii and having a bit of fun doing some Wii Boxing, but I am sure once we walk the aisle we’ll upgrade to World of Wifecraft.

Budget Wedding

Hollywood wedding chapel
A friend emailed this story at CNN.com about budget weddings and since I am all about spending saving money on something that takes three hours to complete but takes two lifetimes years to pay for, I thought it would be a good post for today.

One of the more interesting points of the article is that you can RENT your Flashy Wedding cake, and at the right moment, wheel it back into the kitchen and then bust out the crappy sheet cake from the “expired” bin at the supermarket and roll those little bad-boy confectionery pieces out. Just make sure to check for fingernails

The Wedding Investment

Weddings are expensive. Upwards of 20,000 – $50,000. So, unless your wedding is to be at the place where I was raised, ($20 worth of buckshot, five cases of Pabst Blue Ribbon and a trip to the WalMart; set you back $150 total) looks like you’ll need an investment strategy.

Of course there is no bigger investment for the man than the engagement ring. This thin piece of metal capped by a tiny Huge clear rock basically determines your status in the world to her friends and plays a role in determining how many times you can expect to get laid in any given month. Essentially, this is something you want to get right, because you only get one shot.

Of course how to find out what
