BrassMonkey posted:I've just been asked to be a co-best man (along with another longtime friend). I think its going to be a fairly casual as opposed to traditional ceremony, but just so I can have the bases covered what are my responsibilities going to be? One thing to keep in mind for the best man's speech: Nobody cares what you have to say. So keep it short and succinct. You're not as funny as you think you are and don't talk about yourself. I'm a big proponent of the Best Man's Toast rather than the Best Man's Speech.

No Leaf Clover posted:perhaps signing the marriage certificate as a witness, Also, don't assume the pastor knows what day of the week it is. Double check the date on the marriage certificate or your brother might find out about it 3 years later and be pissed at you.

aneurysm posted:Bad writing, worse graphic design. I understand wanting to be edgy and nontraditional, but that just looks like something a 14-year-old kid would come up with. It looks like a great way to appeal to their friends and alienate their family and colleagues.

do what now posted:It makes a nice keepsake for your friends and family, especially those who can't make it to the wedding for whatever reason. Say what you will about his invites, but I would never call it a keepsake.

Belldandy posted:Has anyone gotten married on a beach? I imagine there would be some sort of permit you'd need, or something. Is it worth the effort? Any feedback would be appreciated. Keep in mind the ocean is very loud on the beach. A friend of mine recently got back from a beach wedding and said that he couldn't hear a single part of the ceremony. I guess you might need a mic or sound system.

WolfensteinBag posted:I agree. You're talking about loving CHRISTMAS here, it's not even fall yet! Did he get the vacation approved before the new boss came in? It'd be handy if he did, but I'm not expecting it. He needs to stand up for himself and say flat out that he can not work for that week. What's the worst they can do? If they fire him on it, he files for unemployment and finds a better job. Also, if his boss is being so passive aggressive, chances are that means she's spineless and knew she wouldn't be able to say no to his face, so actually talking to her about it may be better than you think. There's still plenty of time, you'll figure it out! True that. Passive aggressive people make the worst bosses, and there's always another retail store.

LittleCat posted:Etiquette question: I'm not an etiquette expert, but if you send both of them a save-the-date card, you can then call either of them after they receive the card, explain the situation, and then ask if they plan to attend together, and then send out the invitations accordingly
