At the least, he could have personally hooked you up with a ride with one of the other guests, but it's not worth getting bent out of shape over.

That wedding shit is pretty much
all for women anyway. She thought ahead and had her bus deal covered because it was family. Women got everybody helping them think of everything also. It most likely never even crossed his mind. The dude prolly didn't even want to do half of it himself. Prolly wanted to kill the mother-in-law at several points too. Giving him money to help is another issue, but let the ride thing go bro.

I say a groom has enough to worry about on his wedding night and you're a big boy.


I think you were being a chic about it.
You're a grown ass man, get a cab, hotel or a ride and move on like a big boy.

Seriously, what are you complaining about?

It sounds like you aren't versed in wedding responsibilities. Every single wedding I've been in resulted in me paying for the tux. I did my best to get discounts for my GM for my wedding, but they paid for it like I always have in weddings.

Secondly, you should have worked out transportation before hand. I think it's bad form on your part to get mad about this whole thing, when it could have been averted if you made plans prior. Carpool with someone, get a hotel somewhere, something should have been arranged prior. That's not the grooms responsibility.

It sounds like he's a dick, but I besides telling you like a dick, I fail to see the problem here.

If you keep score on favors, you're not doing favors, you're banking tokens to cash in later.

That alone makes you a C list friend to me.

The ride is not that big of a deal.

Wait, what?

Since when is it the groom's responsibility to pay for everyone's tux? Now, as part of being in the wedding party, I gave them a sweet gift, but I never knew of this theory that the groom pays for the GM tux.

I've been in a couple of weddings and I paid for my tux both times. I thought that was common. When you're asked to be a groomsman, you're basically being given an honor and being asked a big favor at the same time. So you suck it up and try to make everything go as smooth as possible on their big day.

That's the way I've been taught as well.

I've been in about 5 weddings and the only 2 i didnt pay for my tux were 2 of my life long buddies who covered it. It is expected to pay your own shit, but when they pay its nice. I will do the same for those my groomsmen too since i know they will be close friends that are in the group when they are in my wedding as well. I say get over your friends detail he missed out on and if you feel he takes advantage of you then don't go out of your way then. Atleast he tried, but i would've atleast gotten a ride back with a group or planned that ahead of time.

yes, I agree. Tons of friends will be **** ups in your life. Just learn your limits with the **** ups. I will save you a lot of over-analyzation and thinking.

Yeah, I can see where you are coming from here. You've gotta pick and choose your battles. If he forgets how he is going to get you back to YOUR car on HIS wedding, it's not always about you.

It must be the thing to do in my circle. Oh well, to each their own.

He probably would have given you a ride home but you would have had to work it off in trade...

DJ's left nut 08-01-2010 07:22 PM

Dude just got hitched.

He's right - you're not his first priority.

Nut up, pussy. Get a ****ing cab and get over yourself.
