The 'guys lurving the girls'-thread

[Louisiana Night]

Yeah, ok, I can only afford one person then

Cheapest way to fly= Southern Air

If anyone can find the lyrics(Southern Air), please post them in the "song of the moment" thread. It was made by Ray Stevens. I'd post the lyrics, but I can't find them. It would be extremely hard to type.

I don't have a problem with the religious aspect of Catholic weddings (although being an Agnostic at a religious function is always a bit awkward)... it's the LENGTH of the things that kills me. I mean, I know it's a big day and happy festivities and all, but 2+ hours of wedding ceremony-ness is a tad much for me.

Peace & Luv, Liz

Well, maybe someone else would like to go more than me...or their schedule will allow it

See, the money isn't that big a problem, especially not in 2 years, but the schedule allowing it is another matter. Ofcourse, if Liz should express a desire to go, and wouldn't mind me joing her, (if schedule permits), I'd be happy to oblige (and finance too). I have absolutely no idea what I'll be doing in two years from now. Ofcourse, no surprise there, since I'm working for the government, and we're fusing, something completely un-common in those surroundings. Yes,  most probably I'll still be working at/for the same company I'm working for now. Yes, most probably it will still be a function in the financial department but further than that, I can only guess. I've not been to Catholic weddings for a time now (none of myRL- friends (the few that I have) marry that way), and seeing as how my memory is like Swiss Cheese, I have no idea of the length. However, of what I do remember of Catholic gatherings in church, one thing is definitely the length of it.

Well, ya'll haven't been to a Baptist wedding have you??  One of the girls I worked with...from the time she walked down the aisle until she and her husband were pronounced "husband and wife"...15 minutes!  Most Baptist weddings will be done in 30-45 minutes, depending on whether the vows are traditional or not, how much music, etc.

Short and sweet, sounds good to me.

I did go to one wedding for a cousin in my dad's side of the family... it's only my mom's side that is Catholic, I forget what my dad's side is. At any rate, whether she was non-religious or just non-Catholic, I do remember the wedding ceremony being fairly short... like a half-hour or something. Now that's more like it!

CC: Well, if you could go, that would be an incentive. But I think you're underestimating the cost of overseas plane tickets. Plus I have no money for hotel costs, either. That's *really* where the funds get sucked up.

Plus I'd feel a little silly attending a wedding where I barely even know the groom, let alone anyone else!

Peace & Luv, Liz

Just hit the drive throughs in Vegas.

[Questing Character]

In Florida, I hear they have drive-thru weddings AND funerals--heck, you could go to both in the same hour and never leave your car once!

[Jeysie]

Drive-thru funerals. I kind of like that idea. Stick me in the ground quick-like, and have everyone instead go toast me and trade embarrassing stories about me in some local restaurant with cheap but good food and cool desserts. Plus points if everyone wears comfy clothes. They can keep the limo idea, though... ...after all, the only three times you can really justify riding in a limo if you're a poor nobody is getting to your senior prom, getting to your wedding, and getting to a funeral.

Peace & Luv, Liz

[Questing Character]

You left out one--when the mafia's got a job for you!!
Maybe that's only in RI and New Jersey though.

[Jeysie]

Oh, right, right. Harrison's got Italian roots... he probably would have remembered that one right away.

Although... if the Mafia wants you for a job, do you really qualify as a "poor nobody"?

Peace & Luv, Liz

[Questing Character]

Poor nobodys are the best. Who else is desperate enough for cash, but so civilized that they blend into the rest of society and will never be suspected?

Sometimes, I scare even myself.

[InvertedSilence]

Hmm, is it bad when things which sound scary to other people sound like good suggestions to me?

[Louisiana Night]

I hope not.

A half-hour is about the maximum I could stand.

Although I have absolutely no idea of the cost of overseas plane tickets, I rarely overestimate the cost of something. Also, ofcourse, I would get us some form of accomodation while we're there. BTW, maybe Grundy could lend us a hand in that?

Plus I'd feel a little silly attending a wedding where I barely even know the groom, let alone anyone else!  

You'd know me!   And by that time, who knows what other KQIX-sters might find a way to attend?

No limo? Okay, I wasn't planning on ordering one anyway.

[koko_99_2001]

Jeysie, I think someone's REALLY wanting to go to this wedding with you  

Cat

[Jeysie]

Yeah, I know. Should I be worried?

Jeysie, I think someone's REALLY wanting to go to this wedding with you  

Not just the wedding though, that was just the perfect opportunity to express an idea I've been hatching for some time now. Also, I'd like to mention the fact that my colleagues at work are also rooting for me.

Yeah, I know. Should I be worried?

Nah, I'm a very nice guy, once you get to know me.

[koko_99_2001]

hahah, looks like we've got several flirters on this forum!

Cat

[Questing Character]

Awwwww, isn't this just ADORABLE?!?!?

Okay, I'll shut up.  CC's co-workers can say all that stuff for me, I'm sure.
