Not Looking Like a Cheap B@stard

A friend of ours recently gave each groomsman a set of leather coasters with their initial of their last name on them. I thought those were nice. My husband gave the flask...but I agree with the person who said they have 4 of them...it just isn't practical for someone who may have been in a few weddings. you can always look at www.redenvelope.com for some ideas

Unfortunately, I've got to put my shopping on hold for now. Got shipped to freaking Yuma for the current Desert Talon, and I'm a bit too busy to shop around. The good news is that all my groomsmen are basically drunks, so they'll be easily pleased.

I'm still offering preferred routing around the training area out here, in exchage for frosty beverages. Of course, said beverages will have to wait until we get back from the field.

I've made up my mind, and have decided to go with the following: For my brother, I've got two days of golfing at the country club near our hotel. For her brother, I've got a nice monogrammed flask. For her cousin (my pal got yanked to be some damn General's aide and can't make it), I've got an autographed and framed Pirates throwback jersey like Clemente used to wear. The shirt cost me $50 (got a friend on staff w/ the team to get it signed), the flask was around the same. Little brother, though, he cost me a decent chunk of cash, but he needs to relax while in PR. All this, and I've still got a nice, healthy allowance to blow at the casino.

I got my groomsmen the largest K-Bars i could find. My brother (a firefighter) and my best man (a cop) immediately started swinging them at one another, saying that someone was going home with two. Thankfully nobody was seriously hurt.

Well, the gifts are purchased; the priest has been briefed/done his briefing; the family's enroute to the swanky resort town Palmas Del Mar as we speak; and I've got a whole day to get sh!tty tomorrow (and most of the day Friday) before the shindig finally gets started. I'm a little bit anxious, but so far that's about it. Hopefully they won't have to drag me back towards the altar...or is that hopefully they won't SUCCEED?

I think that entirely depends on your choice of attendants. That's what they're there for, after all; either to plant a foot on the back of your dress if you try to do a runner, or to run interception for you if you need to make a clean getaway. You pick them depending on whether you're going to need encouragement to stay or go.

(Or, okay, not a dress for you. Grab you by the collar?)

You're gonna be sooorrry! :D Had to get that one in there so I can say "told you so" later down the road. Enjoy it while it lasts. While I'm at it, Bah Humbug!

I must be doing SOMETHING right, because I stumbled out of the casino 800 bones richer than when I stepped up to the roulette table...

That's good work. The wheel of destiny giveth, and it taketh away.
