My brother used a good chunk of money from a mutual fund he has to pay for his wedding and has told me if he had to do it again, he wouldn’t use the money for that. I say, if the bride’s family is going to pay for it, fine, let’s go big, but if I have to pony up, I get a say in what happens.
I also think that you can tell if your chick is the kind of chick who wants that sort of thing, and if you’re not that kind of guy, you probably shouldn’t be thinking about marrying her in the first place. You’re setting yourself up for a lot of shit in the future.
I used to work at this spot in Atlanta that did banquets/weddings. It was right on Piedmont park so the location was prime, and the place was getting minimum of $10k per wedding. I remember seeing some of these couples and being like, “They’re gonna break up before they’re done paying for the wedding.”
It made for some interesting opportunities though. We were working this one wedding and the couple decided to leave disposable cameras on all the tables so the guests could take candids during the reception. The bride was being a colossal bitch though, and so my buddy took a couple of the cameras into the bathroom and took pics of his dick and balls and put them back on the table. :lol:
Cannot believe ai missed this thread for years. Interesting stuff.
Have you established with your gal what you want and what she wants? The more you have to compromise the more you may be in trouble. What are you worried about?
For a guy about to tie the knot, this thread could be the best or worst thing for you. According to some divorce stats, it’s about 50/50 as to which way the penny will fall. Unfortunately, that could go bad at any time.
Of course. She wants a semi big wedding but I had her agree to have the invitations be equal amongst friends and family because her mother would probably be petty and “forget” to invite some of my fam.
Then with catering I wanted a lineup so that no one will feel left out. The dieters, the vegetarians, the lactose intolerant, etc. won’t have to worry about what they can and can’t eat. Other than that she’s free to plan the wedding however she wants.
What I’m worried about is mostly somebody from either family doing something to humiliate one of us. Some of the women in my fam isn’t exactly pleased with my fiance being non-black (she’s rican) and I’m sure that some of her fam isn’t pleased that she’s marrying a black man. My fiance deserves to have a wedding with little to no drama so I’m just hoping that nothing crazy goes on.
My sister said her wedding will be about $3500 as its going to be with immediate family only and at a small venue. I’ve got a smart sister. If I got married down the road I’ll be doing the white chapel in Vegas or something similar, and if the girl doesn’t like that and want a full blown wedding, that will be the ender. As for wedding bands, fuck going to a jeweler, instead tattoo bands. Thats how I would roll IF I went down that road.
Puerto Rico was a big slave trading colony. They are as black as African Americans, but mixed with islander blood not English/white blood.
So… they are actually probably blacker than your average African American that has had white folks blood all of in they family tree.
Latin blacks piss me the fuck off with this “we ain’t black” shit they tout… as if they to fucking good, niggas darker than my whole family like “naw we Spanish” and shit.
I wouldn’t tell them where or when the wedding is going to be then. They can’t even respect your decision, then don’t let their asses in there. Lemme guess. Your family is mostly black women, but you’re the oldest of your siblings?
Personally, I think both of you should duck out and get married somewhere that these bickering hens can’t find you. Well, personally I wouldn’t do it, but This isn’t me.
This does hit on another one of those problems. You already KNOW that not only people in her family, but your own family are possible problems and you haven’t even gotten married yet. Personally speaking, I don’t like it. Looks like some drama bs just waiting to happen. I’m gonna say go to www.mgtow.com and read in the relationships section of the forums. See if anything in there looks familiar to your situation. Whatever decisions you decide to make, just be careful.
