Made it clear to who?

You mean if the girl of your absolute dreams doesn't want sweaty video-game playing at your reception the whole deal's off?

He'll just organise it behind her back. You know, the way a man should.

I'll let her do anything she wants with the ceremony. Invite 300 people? Sure. You want all the groom's party's cumberbunds to match the blue inlay in your earrings? Fine. You want our vows to be a scene from Shakespeare with authentic medieval instruments playing? Great. Because a half an hour after I say "I do," I'm playing "Bark at the Moon" and singing "Mack the Knife".

I say more power to em. I have been to so many lame ass weddings where I have to pretend to be excited about such a joyous occasion. Sitting there uncomfortable bored out of my skull. Fuck that shit, I would WAY rather be trying to get drunk and nail batgirl behind the X-Wing replica after Boba and the fat chick from the FACTS OF LIFE cuts the cake.

Yeah, but do they get to nail a hot girl wearing a mask and a cape? I'm just saying that most weddings are boring no matter how hammered I am. At least at this dorks wedding I could have got to do karaoke with Chewbacca or something.

There's no hot girl in a mask and cape there.

Seriously, this thread is like a universe where KNOCKED UP doesn't exist. Poxy's just like Martin or Jonah-- the whole attitude of "the reception has to be geeky or it's not me" is just as short-sighted and inflexible as the attitude of formality that you're ostensibly rebelling against. Sure, an honest relationship is one where you feel like you can "be yourself." But sometimes getting to that point requires some self-examination whereby you decide that "being yourself" might not be such an awesome thing without first making some modifications or compromises.

Well, there might be, but odds are she's a family member observing the dress code out of obligation and probably creeped out in a major way. I'm sure these folks have all kinds of genre fan friends who were counting the days for this thing, but I've gotta sympathize with the invitees who don't have IG-88 in his original package.

I've just been to too many weddings where the reception -- you know, the part where you're supposed to be celebrating -- was this dreary affair filled with nothing but maudlin tradition and stifling formality. The best weddings were the ones where the reception cut loose, and that's what I want for mine. I'm not saying she can't have things she wants at the reception, but I want people to be able to have some fun.

Couldn't possibly agree more.

In 2005, I went to a good friend's wedding where they spent around $80,000 to have the wedding at the Ritz Carlton for the small room (200 people!) to have the reception in. It was a good time, but by random coincidence, a girl that my friends & I were close with in high school had her wedding next door in the large room. Cost of that? Over $200,000!

They went all out, and her dad was (obviously) filthy rich, but all the formality kept everyone in check, and while it was fun (both weddings), it could have been a better time if it was held somewhere else.

About 2 months afterwards, my friend got married on the beach in Tampa, and everyone reserved rooms at a couple of the little hotels that are there along the beach. Since every room in the hotel was booked for the wedding, we just turned the beach reception into a pool party that went until sunrise. It was a much better time for everyone, not to mention a hell of a lot cheaper. Alcohol, beach wedding, and bikinis is as good as any wedding needs to be...

So you've gone to shitty weddings, and so the answer is Disneyworld? The good news is if that's a lot of people's attitudes... less weddings.

The bride's no slouch, and she's obviously a sport, so the geek kind of scored. Still, something about the Boba Fett costume makes my fingers itch for a magnifying glass and a sunny day. And I didn't even do that to my Boba Fett figure.

I didn't want to either. I saw that picture of her in that Boba Fett type suit, whatever nerds call it, and I just had this image of her on all fours wearing that thing. Sorry, should have kept it to myself.

I could go for Guitar Hero if the groom was the only one who got to play, everyone was forced to watch, and the groom really really sucked at it.

I'd be willing to bet that nerd/geek sex is wild. I mean they have these costumes, toys and fantasies... why wouldn't it be ridiculously wild? Plus they have all this built up angst about not getting any so they have to unleash it. They all probably have great sex... when they eventually have it.

Sort of what I was getting at. It's pretty gross, but I wasn't saying it for gross out effect, honestly. It's just really intense.

Generally, people who have no respect for themselves will do anything sexually to keep a partner around. Hot, eploitive, you be the judge.

Margaret Cho joked that there's a fine line between S&M and Ren Faires. Geeks probably do have a lot of sexual fantasies, and role playing and all that shit. But it likely all comes out of self-loathing.

You know some day, y'all might have sex. It's pretty cool. You get a to learn a secret handshake afterwards and everything.

Seriously, if I'm stuck with a wife like that, you can be sure I'll dress her up like Daisy Duck and let the costume work it's magic before hammering away. And I'll make the whole attendees dress up too so she won't feel singled out.
