Weddings-Go-Healthy?
Apparently Korea is having a little revolution on wedding gifts, or more specifically the alcohol that they gift. The popular drinks to consume, and thus gift, are/were whiskey and soju, a hard liquor distilled from grains and potatoes, but with people looking to show a little more class and make...
Baseball Leather Livin'
Leather bags are one of those accouterments that can last forever with the proper care, and that's just regular leather. Baseball leather is still the same stuff, but it gets tossed around and beat up day in and day out and still holds strong and looks sharp. And who better...
Vegas And Matrimony
Marriage is an important event, but everyone has definitely heard of how Las Vegas runs things. Whims and lusts dominate the wedding scene down there what with 120,000 couples wedded each year, but that's not at all to say that a wedding with family and friends doesn't exist down there....
Magic Kingdom Proposal
Submission received on 10/27/07: I have been with my now fiacee for five years. She is obessed with Cinderella and Disney. I knew that it would be had to get to Disney with her in school. We had a planned a trip to Flordia for the month of October but...
Putt It There Sport
There's something about golf that just feels classy. Perhaps it's the wide expanse of wasted, but well manicured land. The thrill of driving the ball down the course, judging the wind perfectly and leaving your ball in the middle of the fairway. Or maybe it's the fact that you get...
Weekend Getaway
Submitted on Oct 24, 2007 Written by Sarah (fiance): When I got home from work on Friday, Will had our suitcases packed and sitting by the door. He told me that we were going on a surprise weekend getaway. He had already arranged for the dog to be picked up,...
World Series For Groomsmen
The World Series is just about here and that means one thing is on everyone's mind, the wedding. There's no time for baseball hi-jinks and hooligans! You need to be planning and making calls and reservations! Of course you'll get those done, but you need another plan other than how...
Clean Lovin'
So your soon-to-be wife just saved a load of money by switching to Geico. Huh? Oh, I guess she just made her wedding dress out of toilet paper. Huh. Nothing too odd about that, minus every single joke that can and will be made come wedding day. Honestly though for...
Cabernet, Cabaret, We'll Stick With Cabernet
Great gifts come in all shapes and forms, but it's always great to get your gifts for your groomsmen that they'll enjoy and use, but more importantly something personal that carries the weight of your thanks. One of those great items to give them is wine. Some might choose to...
Oiled Balls And Lanes Make For Strikes
Rain and snow are falling now. That's right it's finally winter weather, which means bowling is going to be the prime indoor activity. That means it's time for you and your groomsmen to head out to the lanes and get your frame-fix in. You know, hang out with the...
Wedding Solutions Episode One
After spending some time reading stories from brides and bridesmaids and mothers and any other woman that can possibly be involved in a wedding, it seems there are a lot of party poopers out there, specifically women in these stories, that can't seem to get across the fact that two...
I Do...Not Know Why I Said That
There are always do's and do not's for your wedding, but we ran across a fun list of some things not to say on your wedding night. Here are a few that were pretty good: 1. But everybody looks funny naked! 2. You woke me up for that? 3. (in...
Game Day Picks Are Important
You get your fantasy teams picked out as fast as they're ready to be made, so why not get the drop on picking your groomsmen too? We're not saying to rush into any decisions, but earlier is better in this situation (just ask your soon to be wife!). In fact...
Tit For Tat And Tool For Set
Things are made to be broken. It's not a fun fact of life, but it sure is true. Or maybe a less cynical way to take that phrase is things are made to work, but will eventually break. Regardless of how you look at it the end result is the...
African Wedding Crashers
A crazy little story came out recently about the fate of a couple of brothers in Africa who decided to crash a wedding. Anyway the story goes that Hlakkaniphani and Sithembiso Ziqubu arrived at a wedding in Hlabisa, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa and were enjoying the activities up until the guests...
Number One Wiidding Gift
A nice little article from joystiq gave us an update on the most requested newlywed gift at amazon.com, and we think they'd work as gifts for your groomsmen too if you want your buddies to love you forever. Their wedding registry shows that it is no other than Nintendo's Wii...
Homegrown Pub Time
Winter's rolling around again guys, which means the backyard parties are wrapping up. Obviously that doesn't mean the end of them, just that they're moving inside. That does mean it's time to start working on getting the bar supplies stocked and ready, whether it's for you or as gifts for...
Harmony Is For Harmonicas, Not Fidelity
Alright so apparently this happened, but you all can relate to the situation somehow. Anyways, it's a huge wedding with 300 guests and after the wedding reception, while everyone is still sitting at their tables, the groom gets up on stage and grabs the microphone. He's courteous and thanks the...
Groomsmen Gifts Are For Afterwards
Here's a nice little pre-ceremony story involving a bride walking with her father as he gives her a quick little rundown of what's been happening while she was getting ready. Apparently her soon-to-be-husband's father, also the best man, had lost her ring. He put ring on his pinkie finger, thinking...
Creepy Wedding Thieves
Not quite the smooth talking character of Vince Vaughn or Owen Wilson, nor nearly as fun loving, a Miss Kimberly Cooper wasarrested for crashing a wedding and stealing gifts given to the couple (at least she left the groomsmen gifts alone). According to News Channel 6, she apparently showed up...
