Christmas in July is....

  • Ironic

  • Misplaced

  • Other / Neither

Ironic? No. Misplaced? Huh? I'd say neither - just dumb. You are throwing a wedding, not a Christmas party. I find myself turned off by the idea even when stores use that excuse to have a sale during teh summer. :/
 
First of all, IMO, a christmas themed wedding in July is pretty stupid...but, it's their wedding not mine, so I really don't care one way or the other.

Next, (and most important) it doesn't matter whether she's right or not...you're wrong. Just accept that and get on with life. You're A-L-W-A-Y-S wrong...even when you're not.

Every married man knows this.

This, and infinitely more so if you tried showing her this thread for proof she's wrong. That would lead the pussy staying off for an even more extended period.

last time I was right (which is rare) I gloated for about 2 seconds because I was so joyed. She said "let's see how right you are when you don't get any pussy this weekend" My W went to a huge L in a millisecond.

Your willy went to a huge limp in a millesecond?

dude TMI
 
On topic though: they're both stupid. It's definitely not ironic, and misplaced is something I'd use to describe a physical item or person, not an event.

"Aw shit, I've misplaced my Christmas"
"It's over here, it's in my July wedding"
"Heh, well that's ironic isn't it?"
"Not really, just kind of retarded"

See, they both sound wrong.
 
Have your wedding at Christmastime but in the southern hemisphere.
Then you get a Christmas themed summertime wedding. Problem solved.

Great sign if you're bickering over the wedding, bro.

I'm not sure what fairytale relationship you've had, but pretty much everyone gets into at least one argument related to wedding planning. It's hard for a guy to win. The woman wants to be in control of everything, so if you just back out and let her plan it she gets pissed because you aren't doing anything to help. But then if you step in to help she gets pissed because you are trying to tell her what to do.

have you ever gotten married?

if so and this is news, you probably let her do whatever or didnt care

My wife fought with me about my tux a TON. It was just about the only thing I put my foot down on and that made it a battle. But what can I say, I really dont like bowties 🙂



as for the OP: Its your wedding, but I think it seems sorta odd unless you are in the southern hemisphere
 
Welp, judging by the pole results, I'm completely wrong. I thought ironic was fitting since it was basically the opposite of what is expected during the summer. Oh well. And I shouldn't have used the word "bickering", since the conversation about this was over before I finished creating the pole for the thread. I was more curious to get a consensus than anything else. We were discussing our friends' wedding plans (Christmas in summer) and comparing / contrasting them to our plans.

Yes, I have been married. The wedding wasn't really that much of a problem. We had the same concept in mind and she found the venue, I thought it looked great, it got booked and we made it happen. I guess I got lucky in that my wife didn't have any preconcieved notions of what her wedding should be like or 'absolutley had' to have in order to be considered successful.
