Which one of your wedding ceremonies was your favorite, Steve?

_________________
You know me like that.

I'd rather pay people to be chair fillers than pay a horse to be the altar.

You'd be welcome to come too, Steve, but I wouldn't want you spending too much money on yet another dress your wife will never wear. That, and I know Friday is your big bowling night so I don't want to take away a chance for you to roll a 348 series.

There are several weddings in EH's past? How many ex-Mrs. Elmhurst Steve's are floating around out there?

The first one by far. It was perhaps the most fun-filled wedding I have attended, not just been married in. We had over 300 guests, and the reception was at the old Elmhurst Country Club. The groomsmen and I played golf there the day before the wedding and it became tradition that we play golf the day before any of us gets married. Fun tradition. It became Oak Meadows and the clubhouse that the reception was held in unfortunately burned down in 2009. The wedding in Las Vegas was great and honestly, I didn't have any need for the last reception at the club here that followed. But my wife wanted to share the event with friends/family so I indulged her. It was a fun time and all, but I'm just not big on having a big, elaborate wedding reception for a 2nd wedding. But I am smart enough to know that indulging her was the right thing to do though. We did play golf the day before the last reception too, so that tradition was properly observed.

Denisdman-I have been married to just 2 women, so there is just 1 ex "floating around"

Well, Steven, this is the exact reason why PM's were sent and this thread was started. You are a smart man.

Great! Steve has now rueeeened Frank's wedding!

We had between 900-1,000 people there for the convention/championship this year. No need for seat-fillers there!

N0-sad is when 26.6 % of the invited guests decline....

Right, but those are strangers. Weirdo's who carve out time for fantasy football conventions and then brag about attending said Loser Rallies on message boards.

It's a little different, Steve-a-reno

I don't have the experience you do in wedding planning but 1/4th doesn't sound too bad for an offseason wedding.

What do I know though. You had one of the greatest weddings ever because it was at a country club and you played golf the day before. I've honestly never heard of something so unique.

Okay, how different is it when you get to the point of posting a thread (including not just people who he's met, but anyone who log's onto this site) for all to see, to try to get asses into empty seats? This is supposed to be the biggest day/night of a married couple's lives and you have to recruit possible strangers from a message board? Perhaps it's the result of a fall-out from their not attending his friend's wedding when they were too busy moving into their home?

Ive never been married or on a horse, but all the numbers im seeing on line indicate 70% is the average attendance.

Frank is above average.

Why do you crave attention like a 3 year old Steve? The way you describe your life it doesn't sound like you should need it. Are you unhappy?

No. It was just a great day all-around. Everyone who was important to me was there. My Grandparents, my Brother and Dad who all passed away since. Friends, Neighbors, Relatives and Co-Workers were all there. There was just 1 friend that couldn't be there of all those invited and that was because he was playing in the College Baseball World series. Over 300 people and to this day people tell me what a great time they had that day. The food was outstanding, the Music had everyone dancing all night. My Dad paid them to keep going an hour longer into the night because everyone was having a great time and hardly anyone had left. The golf the day before was just a very small part of it. But the fact that I was the first in our group to be wed and began that tradition that we carry on still...is kinda neat.

As far as having over 1/4 of the guests decline, I cannot imagine that happening.

Is this a bit? This sounds like any wedding that has ever happened at any country club.

Were you expecting a bunch of people to say "Your wedding sucked"?

He's just a person that is lost and devoid of personality. The interactions he has here are probably the highlight of his day. I pity him, but we all make the choices that direct the outcome of our lives.

I just say what I think and it sometimes gets reactions. Sure, occasionally I say/write things aimed at reaction, but most times I am just saying/writing what many others may already be thinking, but too timid to say. I'm sure many who saw this thread also thought how sad it was that someone was reduced to asking for guests to his wedding on a message board. I'm sure that others thought it odd that 26% of those invited to the wedding declined the invitation. If it were a "Destination Wedding" that percentage would be understandable. But not otherwise. So many other people probably thought many of the same things.
