Well.....in my group of college friends, we do something a little similar, Flock.

It's a long story.....but back in college we had a running joke about Vienna sausages (the story behind the joke is even longer, so I won't go into all of that). Well, when the first couple of the group got married in 1998, we put two cans of Vienna sausages in their wedding gift as a joke. Well, it sort of started a tradition....whenever anyone in the group gets married, has a baby or something sort of monumental like that, the same two cans of Vienna sausages get passed on. We ended up with them when we bought our first house. When one of the friends got married last year, we gave them to him. Another couple in the group just had their first baby, so I'm sure they'll be getting them sometime soon. Each time we pass them on, we tie a new note to the cans.....but all the old notes are there, too. So it's kinda cool for whoever has them to look back at all the old notes.

But still.....pretty weird to be giving 8-year-old cans of Vienna sausages as part of a wedding gift.....

Funny you should say that. I sent someone a "real" gift this week, but also included a roll of 80 MPH tape with it

At my first wedding, all the guys in my wedding party wore rayban wayfarers. She was not amused when she walked down the aisle.

Is that the reason it was your FIRST wedding?

Naw, crazy me, I had the impressions that when we got married, she was supposed to stop dating other people.

you forgot to put that in the contract?

At a wedding I was in along with a few other friends. One of the bride's HS friend's was jealous she wasn't the maid of honor and after a few(10) drinks let people know. My friend (the maid of honor's husband and an NHL hockey player) ended up with a cake thrown in his face, his wife ended up with only 1/2 of her dress left and I had a beer thrown in my face and lost a contact. The bride didn't really defend us like she should have and that was the last day that we have really seen or spoken to them.

But I guess that's not really a tradition.

What's 80 MPH tape? Is it anything like duct tape?

it's 120 short of 200 MPH tape....





yes it's Duct tape.

Any acting "best men" ever use a variation of this for their toast? Or is it a Chicago thing? It's normally changed to the groom's name, and "him" and "he" substituted for "me" and "I". (boy, does that sound confusing!)

Ode to My Woman
Steve Martin

Saturday Night Live May 20, 1989


Ode to My Woman

When a man meets the woman he loves, everything changes. His heart races, his head spins, and suddenly all the dozens and dozens of women he's sleeping with no longer matter. A few years ago, I found the woman I love, and I've put some of my feelings into this little ode.

Every man needs a woman, and I need you --
to lift me when I am sad,
to comfort me when I am down,
to clean me when I am drunk,
to walk beside me when I want to look like I'm not gay,
to walk in front of me when I need someone to act as a human windbreak,
to kiss me when I am horny,
to massage me when I am tense and/or horny,
to make me horny when I am not horny, and then to watch me fall asleep.

I need you darling to clean between my toes when they are not cleaned to my satisfaction,
to pick the nits out of my hair when I have head lice,
to try milk for me when I am not sure of the expiration date,
to be there when I need you to be there, and to be out of town the rest of the time.

My darling, although it may seem sentimental, I want to take this moment to tell you I love you -- because I don't want to lose half my stuff. And even though you are far away across the ocean, I always have this [pointing to ring finger where there is no wedding ring] to remind me --[realizes the ring is not there] sorry [and hides hand].

Goodnight, my love.

...taking CF off the invitation list...

At my brother's wedding back in the 80's everyone at the reception, all evening long, kept giving him small black pocket combs! (He's a bald as a cue ball!) Of course, it was his frat bros who set him up; they had bought a gross of them.
