That’s………..different. Maybe a couple groomsmen are married.
I think 1 is. I can't remember who everyone is at the moment. I feel like I was only asked because I'm the brother and they didn't want me to feel left out, and I wasn't going to say no obviously.

I have to walk with my mom. I've heard of weddings doubling up groomsmen with a bridesmaid and vice versa if there's one extra. Nothing against my mom obviously, but I feel like that would be a better idea.

Not exactly sure.

I took both parents in before anyone at ours. Surprised they didn’t make someone an usher since those are generally always males. To me, 8 is a lot. I tell my daughter to do a destination and take 2-3 and I will pay for them since it would be cheaper than a full blown wedding with what I imagine.

I'm pretty sure those were the numbers. 3 of his long time friends and 4 of his college buddies, and me. Sister has her best friend, our cousin, his 3 sisters, and then 2 others i think. It could be one less for both, but still.

Not sure if they're doing any of those little entrance skits for the reception or whatever you call them.

Do the Ray Lewis entrance, that would be a classic. Perfect if by yourself.

Yeah I meant reheating.

The sides were 'reheated' but basically it was like cooking a ready made meal if that makes sense.

And holy cow does a whole turkey take a long time to warm up.
Yeah, she said a couple of hours when we were talking about it, but didn't tell me temp or if it should be covered by foil. And how to do the sides now. I'll be working with frozen, not cold, when we finally do eat this.

On the upside, Lew just figured out that he gets an entire pumpkin pie to himself now (I'll take care of the custards).

The bachelor party is in March, up north at his grandparent's cabin. I'm kind of indifferent about it. One of the activities we're doing is ice fishing and I absolutely refuse to go out on the ice. No way no how. I'll carry plywood up a 10, 30 feet up before I go out on ice, I don't care how thick it is.

I've always thought the lyrics "..oh, the traffic is terrific" in Home for the Holidays should be "...the traffic is horrific!'.

Who has ever driven in holiday traffic and thought "terrific". :rolleyes:
