Wedding Etiquette
This past weekend I went to a good friends wedding. The wedding was outdoors in Big Bear and was super casual (remember that for later… casual). Weddings are weird, you meet friends and family of the couple for the first time and usually exchange stories and chat with each other for the first time.
Right after the ceremony I notice this guy take off his sports coat revealing his t-shirt. Printed on the shirt, across the neck line in Old English reads: “GO FUCK YOURSELF”. Now, the wedding is casual… so I’m thinking sweater, button up shirt, sports coat, jeans, flip-flops or even Crocs™ fall into this category. And you can image my reaction when I see this guy walking around past grandma and grandpa with this shirt as if its no big deal. I also don’t think anyone was going to ask this guy to change or turn it inside out considering the guy looked like Lou Ferrigno.
Now I’m not saying that I’m the most classy guy around. I shave once a week, I wear clothes out of the hamper, and I almost ate cheese and crackers that I dropped on the ground (at the wedding) if my wife didn’t stop me. But who wakes up and says “hummm, what should I wear the wedding today… I have this plain black shirt… no, this tank top… no, oh this GO FUCK YOUR SELF shirt this is really going to impress everyone”!
I guess this is what the world is going to be coming too… sigh. In the words of Tim Gun “oh youth”.

wow. where do I get one of those to wear to ryan and caroles wedding?
I have a simmilar story involving my grandfathers funeral. The bumps extended family arent the classiest. I have an uncle who was on cops twice. TWICE. getting arrested, not being a cop. So when my grandfather died this year and I saw that branch of the family for the first time in 17 years I was not too surprised to see all of the men in their finest shorts and tank top ensembles, an older woman in hot pants and a LOT of Big Dog T-shirts. My uncle’s drunk mouse in a champagn glass tatoo was clearly visible beneath the hair on his shoulders throughout the service.
