What's on your mind?

I don't know for sure, but I think the reason why so many people are making double posts is because this Forum is running way slow right now. Could be an issue for people that have sponsored this site by giving money. But since I haven't donated a penny, I'll shut up.

Thinking it was Thursday, I've been feverishly working on this project for my boss. But once I discovered it was only Wednesday, I decided to slack off and play Madden.

I'm kidding! Get the project done first, then enjoy the long weekend!

Hope everyone has a great day!

Opinion question, especially for those who have been in weddings:

Are you obligated, as a part of the wedding party, to participate in any of the planning process? Or like figuring out where to book a place for the whole wedding party to stay? Or should this be the groom's responsibility?

As far as I know, only if you're the best man. In that case I believe that you help plan the bachelor party, but I'm not sure about anything else.

If they ask you to do something, yes. For my sister, I just did stuff without her asking me to, to make it easier. And got others involved in helping. I think responsibilities may be different in each case.

Its usually the bride and groom who does that.

You may do small things to help out if your part of the bridal team etc

Its usually the bride and groom who does that with the booking a place.


Sometimes you may be involved in small things, like help post the invites etc if you are part of the bridal team.

But if a groom is past off responsibility to other people not cool

The new Jurassic World movie looks more cartoony than ever..

Thing about the Spielberg directed Jurassic Park films.. was that the dinosaurs were more portrayed as just animals. Their action and movements were less dramatic for the camera, but that also made them seem more real therefore more scary.

Welp. After talking to my therapist, watching my parent's marriage crumble again, and my mother's mental health continuing to decline with the daily tantrums, I think it may be time to start adulting and move out on my own. Thankfully there are social services to help me out and I think I may go over it with my stepfather tonight.

Spent my life trying to keep all the rules
Now I know it's about what Hes already done
Not about what I think that I gotta do

Ideally this would be the best man and maid of honor, but the whole group should be in communication to make sure things get done. Sometimes the lead person is dead beat and other members of the party need to act in that role.

Really I think being a part of the party means your friends trust you to take care of the small stuff for their big day so they can just enjoy the moment. That's how I've always treated the role of a bridesmaid in the weddings I've been in. However for my wedding nobody in either of our parties has offered to help with any thing so we're doing it on our own.

As far as I know, only if you're the best man. In that case I believe that you help plan the bachelor party, but I'm not sure about anything else.

Thanks for your thoughts, friends.

Just dealing with a situation where I was asked to be in a friend's wedding. The wedding is in Texas, so he and obviously the wedding location are very far away, and he has basically brought up a few different times that we need to figure out an AirBNB situation for all of the groomsmen to stay in. The problem is that no one has the money to front to book one, and yet he just keeps bringing it up like it's something we (the best man and I) need to get done.

I guess in my thinking, it's not out of the realm of tradition to ask the best man to arrange something like this, but to me it's just a bit frustrating for him to put pressure on me to put together lodging arrangements for half of the wedding party when I'm 18 hours away and have never been to this place before and also have no ability financially to front $500 to book someplace. I can be responsible for myself and where I stay, but I can't be for a big group. And I'm already going to be spending $1,000 minimum, which is going to require me putting in overtime in the next month, just to make the trip and pay for the tux rental.

In my opinion, the bride and groom should be accommodating and showing hospitality to the wedding party and taking care of this type of thing, especially if the wedding is a long distance away. In the very least I can see asking the maid of honor and best man to be involved, but those four need to be spearheading logistics like this. People in the wedding should just be told either to make their own arrangements or be told the place that has been booked. Just my opinion and the way I would treat my wedding party if I get married.

Can you do research on places, get a good quote, then alert to the rest of the party that they need to chip in their part of booking the place? You can send them a PayPal invoice/link.

You did not get older! Did you?

I remember playing through the stages of some video games over and over without getting tired of them in my childhood; and not only did I have a much smaller selection of games to play but I also didn't play as many stages. I'd also enjoy just playing around in some games for hours. But now I often don't feel like playing anything available to me and I usually get tired of most games after playing all the stages once (certain ways of playing around I get tired of more quickly and other ways I don't even care about doing much anymore). I wonder why that is.
