People Who Have Outdoor Weddings In August Should Be Beaten

[Lackadaisical2]

It's 72 F here right now. I'd love to be at an outdoor wedding right now instead of locked in my perpetually 55 degree office.

Why is your office kept at 55? Seems like a huge waste of money.

Couldn't tell you. Someone important must really hate the heat. I have to bring a jacket in to work in August.

edit: I exaggerate, of course. It's probably more like 65.

Thats only about 3 degrees too cool. Unless, you want them to take some of their clothes off

You know, the more I look at the title and get to thinking evil thoughts, the more I think the OP is on to something! What about a wedding/brawl? Bride's family vs Groom's family. Winner take all!

Interesting idea, providing the bride and groom don't mind their presents being used as weapons. Yay asking for knives and cookware.

The loser is the one that has to change his/her name.. That way, the winners carry the family name to the next generation.

I like it. Kind of sexy too when you think about being down there in the slippery mud, clothes getting ripped, and you making the other person take your name. It should conclude with the winner saying "Say my name bitch!"

The proper reply to "Would you like to come to my outside wedding taking place at 3 pm in August?" is "Are you out of your fucking mind?" and/or "He-ee-ee-eell no."

How about, only if I can come in my underwear or nude?

I got it! A wedding (American) football game! 4 quarters, with 5 minutes each quarter! Groom's Family vs. Bride's Family. The groom and bride must be QB for their respective teams.

Ok, I am SOoooo going to do this for my wedding.

Interesting. So is it the bride and groom fighting mono-a-mono, or is it a huge all out family brawl until only one side is left standing?

Why not a FFA (Free For All)?

If it's a battle for naming rights, you'd think the two different clans would take sides.

Well whoever is left standing wins, so if it's a member of the groom's team then the bride must take the groom's last name and vice versa.

Hey, if MMOs have taught me anything, is that FFA's are fucking awesome.

Weather Underground says that there was a high of 82 degrees F that day in our area

Along with a 60% chance of smashing the state and scattered flurries of offing the pigs?

The proper reply to "Would you like to come to my outside wedding taking place at 3 pm in August?" is "Are you out of your fucking mind?" and/or "He-ee-ee-eell no."

And normally that would be my response, but the bride in question is a very good friend of my girl. Who, evil genius that she is, took the initiative to do terrible things to me the night before the wedding to ensure I would be too drained and tired to say 'No' when it was time to go.

I did 8 weeks of Boot camp between late June and August at NTC Orlando while it was in operation, marching in heavy fire retardant dungarees in weather that was usualy in teh mid to high 90's (temperature and humidity).... pussy.

It's like getting poked in the eye with a stick. It's not that I can't deal with it, it's that I would prefer not having to deal with it in the first place by avoiding the situation altogether.

Hmm, for fairness, we could have the larger family pick participants from among themselves to field the same number of individuals the smaller family can field.

In mud.

[JarVik]

My wedding was in mid-August at about noon. It was about 20^oC or 70^oF. It was quite nice really. The ceremony was held out in the sun and we had a big circus tent like affair setup to have the reception brunch under. It was the most perfect weather possible, and quite frankly I can't really imagine my wedding being any nicer than it was.

What? No, fuck fairness. If you want to keep your last name, you should have had rabbits for parents.

I'm sure all of your family and friends felt the same way.

Seersucker suits and linen suits were invented for a reason... as were sun dresses.

I think they do. My wife and I think we set the standard for a nice and relaxing wedding that others try to emulate if I do say so myself.

People Who Have Outdoor Weddings In August Should Be Beaten

Yes, yes they should.

There's also something to be said about going to an August wedding in the nude. *nods*

[Nova Magna Germania]

I'd like an outdoor wedding.

But, that would make it all too easy for God(s) to strike you down.

Too predictable joke.

I've got one suit that I drag out whenever I have to go to a wedding or a funeral or a court appearance. I'm pretty sure it's not linen, and I don't even know what 'seersucker' is...unless it's a hooker that specializes in providing oral sex to psychics. My girl looked nice, though, and enjoyed herself, which is what's important.

Seersucker is a thin, all-cotton fabric, commonly striped or checkered, used to make clothing for spring and summer wear. The word came into English from Hindustani (Urdu and Hindi), which originates from the Persian words "shir o shekar," meaning "milk and sugar", probably from the resemblance of its smooth and rough stripes to the smooth surface of milk and bumpy texture of sugar. Seersucker is woven in such a way that some threads bunch together, giving the fabric a wrinkled appearance in places. This feature causes the fabric to be mostly held away from the skin when worn, facilitating improved heat dissipation and air circulation. It also means that pressing is not necessary.

Common items of clothing made from seersucker include suits, shorts, shirts and robes. The most common colors for it are white and blue; however, it is produced in a wide variety of colors, usually alternating colored stripes and puckered white stripes slightly wider than pin stripes.

During the British colonial period seersucker was a popular material in Britain's warm weather colonies. When Seersucker was first introduced in the United States it was used for a broad array of clothing items. For suits the material was considered a mainstay of the summer wardrobe of gentlemen, especially in the South, who favored the light fabric in the high heat and humidity of the summer, especially prior to the arrival of air conditioning.


My guess is that you have a wool suit.

[Heinleinites]

My guess is that you have a wool suit.

Probably. I bought it a couple of years or so ago from Men's Wearhouse. They were having a sale, and at the time I was going to be needing a suit in the next couple of weeks, so I snagged one.

I'D guess lots of electronic equipment that needs to be kept cool.

Yes, true. Thank God I never have had to suffer through that.
