I'm not entirely sure what his reasoning is, he just keeps telling me that "I'm killing him" and he "has to see what he can figure out" about this. I don't even understand what there is to figure out, go to the shop and pick the fucking tuxedo up.

Jamie, just thought of this. If that's an afternoon thing, I have work. If not, let's drink some beers.

Yeah, doesn't he have to pick up his tux too? I mean, while you'd be within your right to have him go an extra time given he lives closer than you, i'm not even seeing an issue. The interest float on 140 bucks? Even if he's a loan shark that's what 10 bucks? This isn't a little hard and I'm going to have to ask you to stop being friends with him regardless

I only know one other groomsman, and he's having a legit tough time right now so I didn't wanna ask him, and at this point it's kind of the principle with the groom. Just pick up the fucking tux, as jeff said, he's gotta go there anyway, so just get it.

And that's the thing, the tux place he picked is close to his house, so it's not like it's out of his way. This will be the end, at this point I'm just going because I think there's a strong chance that something messed up could happen.

Bill's dilemma raises to me the more interesting question--why do people marry jerks? I've had at least two friends marry women who were simply horrible--and it's not like they were attractive or smart either. In one case, I remember the best man trying to talk the groom out of the marriage the night before the wedding. (It didn't work). They were just awful. And I certainly know plenty of women who marry total losers. How do they not see this? Why? Why? Why?

I tend to see the complacence more than anything. I'm unreasonably picky with dating girls considering I rarely date, but I've seen a lot of people hop on board with the first sure thing that comes their way. As a friend, it sucks ass.

Actually I shouldn't talk. I was pretty much all in on my first girlfriend until we just got tired of each other. In retrospect she sucked

Unfortunately, some people are desperate, lonely, and pathetic.

I just. I mean. I don't even

I've been to a wedding where hot dogs/pizza would've been a more palatable choice.

No idea. The girl my friend was with before this was great. She was a minister, and my friend is fairly anti-religion, but they got along great, both of them were really happy. She was really just a great girl, we all loved hanging out with them, but then he broke up with her for the girl he's marrying. He'd been chasing her for like years, and then she would just hook up with, date, and screw his friends, but he was alway hung up on her. Then she got really fat and no one else wanted her and then she came to him, while he was dating the minister and boom, that was it. She told me the story at the engagement party like it was funny. I hadn't seen her in so long I didn't recognize her she had gotten so fat.
