Is the whole twenty-something summer wedding circuit getting you down? Me too. It has really started to get ridiculous. I am making plans to go to my fourth and fifth weddings of the summer right now. As both of these are immediate family, skipping is not an option. I already skipped two other weddings for not-so-immediate family this year.
Does everyone else run into this issue? Seems like a large number of my friends are regularly just getting back from a wedding or going to a wedding soon. Now, I like to go drink on someone else’s tab while seeing friends and family as much as the next guy, but these plane tickets are really starting to add up. If more of my friends were getting married in places like the Carribean, I wouldn’t have an issue with it. But I’m stuck going places like Oklahoma and Kentucky. Please: stop getting married.
P.S. Yes I did just get married a few summers ago, and yes, I do recognize the hypocrisy in this post. Rant over.

I totally feel your pain. Try going to 8 weddings per year for 3 years straight. I grew up around a bunch of religious people so it actually started at 19. Anyways, just do what I did; quit going. They are like mini-funerals anyways. You go, have a big party, and never see them again. At least till they have a baby shower. Greedy bastards!
Congrats on your recent wedding by the way, I am sure you are completely different.
