Pure comedy...

So I got an invitation to go to my friend Scot's wedding. He is getting married in New Jersey on the first Saturday in November.

The invitation is for me "and guest."

I find this funny. Primarily due to the fact that I CAN'T GET A FLIPPIN' DATE HERE, and Scot wants me to get one 3000 miles away for a weekend nearly two months from now

I think the practice of bringing a date to a wedding is kind of stupid. Say this wedding was in California. Say I offered to be your date. Say you accepted. Okay, now I'm going to this wedding of two people I DON'T KNOW. Why should I be there, a witness to a very personal ceremony, when I'm a total stranger who doesn't really give a crap?

If I ever end up getting married, I hope that my wedding is an occasion that is so small that I know every single person who is there. I'll make an exception if I elope in Vegas, because I doubt I'll have time to really get to know the Elvis impersonator who might act as the witness. :-P

Yeah, that's pretty much the guaranteed response to that offer!! :-)

I doubt I'll have time to really get to know the Elvis impersonator

Yeah... but would you really want to get to know the Elvis impersonator?

Man, you're cool. Don't people know this? They should date you.

advertise on craigslist new york. "i live in the Bay Area. i need a date for a wedding in New Jersey.

you live in New Jersey. you need an excuse to wear that cute dress that's languishing in the back of your closet.

we meet up. you accompany me to the wedding. i drop you off. we never see each other again. how easy is that?

must be good conversationalist, sports fan, reasonably attractive. your pic gets mine."

at the very least, anyone who'd go for it has a good sense of fun/adventure...

DAAAAAAAAAMN!!! That's actually a pretty intriguing idea!!

if you decide to attend, you know you've got a place to crash.
'course if you take merde's suggestion, the unknown date will have to be strip searched before entering the premises! (fun for all of us, don'tcha think?!)

[kratkrat]

That makes it an even BETTER idea!!

You've managed to top even merde's brilliant plan...
