obviously a lot of people. it seems like thats the thing now. it used to be you'd be honored to be groomsmen. now people are afraid, and prays every night that couples will break up instead of hooking up.

to be fair, the tradition does dictate that the groomsmen pay for their own tux. the groom could, pick up all the cost if he wants to.

but then again, i don' t know when this tradition started and if it only applies to western culture.
 
Hey now everyone. Don't be so hard on em!

I got married last year, if someone kept blowing off paying for their dress, I'd have fired em too. A wedding costs way too much to have one person screw it all up. I'm sure the bride and groom would like to have the same number of guys and girls on both sides. To have one person screw around, blowing it off, throws up a major concern that they might eventually back out.

Sucks you had to do it, but you gotta do what you gotta do....
 
You make it sound like this is bad thing for her. I personally think there are as many people who consider being part of a wedding party to be a hassle as there are people who think it's an honor or enjoyable.

everyone pays for their tuxes and dresses. that's just how it is... often, the bride & groom are quite burdened with other costs. ie. wedding.

that's why you stupid non-asians shouldn't sign up for a dumbass register and get worthless sh!t. go asian style require RED ENVELOPES so you're not $100k in debt after the wedding.

For those who say "not everyone can afford blah blah" then DON'T INVITE SO MANY PEOPLE AND HAVE A LAVISH WEDDING. Cater chinese food and have the reception at your house.

dude that's just my observation. asians receive Cash as gifts to finance the wedding. in fact chinese people are notorious for profiting from weddings. I mean why da hell would I want to receive goods that i may necessarily not want. it's so inefficient. bah i guess my post makes me sound like angry-azn (i'm not, just peeved).

nah, these days they set up a gift registry online, so the couple can ask for certain items with little fuss. i'm attending a wedding in three weeks and they had a registry up at crate and barrel. picked an item, gave my cc info, and it was shipped straight to the bride. pretty easy.

i'd still rather receive cash. i guess that's why i'm asian. or vice versa, haven't figured it out yet.
