This is easy.

When it came to reception menu and stuff I had two requirements- Grooms cake is red velvet with a golf theme and scallops wrapped in bacon were going to be on menu. Everything else was up to bride.

I'm assuming you bring a flask with you and as soon as you provide inputs you start drinking. That has an incredible way of helping a bride with her decisiveness.

Just when I need all of you the most...

Nowhere to be found.

@jimmyserrano would have never left me high and dry like this.

All I asked was that we put a $5,000 mountain bike on the registry and nothing else but I didn’t get my way

80s music has been playing the whole time. Currently listening to “Hands to Heaven” by Breathe

Everyone needs to feel that pain themselves - no short cuts.

...But one bit of advice (heading towards 34 years of marriage) - keep referring to her as “the old lady” in a public forum and sooner than later you’ll be eating Ding Dongs and picking up your teeth to put in a favor box for the dentist.

Is it talking about cake or tasting cake? Because tasting cake wasn’t all bad compared to the rest.

Come on man - it's 4PM - you didn't have brunch before and fire down some cocktails when this thing started at 1PM?

Learn from this and know when to recognize when there are times you've got to be physically present, but perhaps your full mental participation beyond looking engaged isn't required and anesthetize yourself in advance.

I'm been married for almost 20 years.

Uhhhh the day we ate 8 types of cake was my favorite day in the process.

"whatever you say dear" should save some time

And you think your partner doesn’t know when you’re faking looking “engaged” ?
XD

Also, I came here to talk about strength of schedule.

You know she posts on these boards, correct?

I don't think he gets that it's a schtick. If she's really looking for a better groom, @JMick may still be available.

Whatever cake you want.

Whatever you want on the other thing you asked about.

That was pretty easy

That's exactly what I did. And to answer @Dream Jobbed 2.0 there was no tasting, just looking at a bunch of pictures today. Her aunt is making the cake, so I think the process is a bit different. It wasn't so bad, just a lot of stuff I'd never have thought about. Would have been better if I could have actually turned the UConn game on lol

I'm available but I'm definitely more of a consolation prize

Have you picked a date yet?
(Don't have to post-it here, just curious if you considered the UConn games and your wedding date).

BTW- Late April is bedtime for weddings. Conflicts with zero major sporting events.

Yes--I will probably end up missing the Illinois game for the honeymoon, but that's it. I didn't consider it when picking a date though lol
