djgolfcan DrTyore;329310 wroteWeddings on long weekends, dick move or no? Are you and Mario going to finally stop living in sin ?
Pinhead Dick move, but on a sliding scale, peaking with mid-summer long weekends. Your cottage-having friends will curse you from about the day they get the invitation until at least the weekend after the wedding. And then again every year around your anniversary when they remember that summer you fucked them out of a long weekend on the dock. You want to get married Family Day? Go right ahead. Civic holiday weekend? The gift's in the mail. And it's broken.
Hang to Dry My friend's getting married Easter Sunday, I'm pretty cool with that - actually makes for a decent long weekend instead of eating jujubes and going to church with my mom. If it was this weekend and we weren't good friends, he could fuck himself. Card + cash is in the mail.
Hobbes Muddguts;329361 wroteI just noticed this now but has the forum always disclosed who voted for what on the polls? Only if you make the polls public and you have to vote to see
Hang to Dry Hobbes;329362 wroteOnly if you make the polls public and you have to vote to see Nope, I saw before voting.
800OVER I'm the eldest of 22 grandchildren and when my cousin booked his wedding for the civic holiday I read the riot act to all my other cousins. I said if they booked their wedding for a long weekend I'd kill them myself.
Muddguts Hang to Dry;329365 wroteNope, I saw before voting. Ya. I haven't voted, just clicked on results and there it all is back on topic. I'm not a big fan of weddings unless it's someone close to me, so inviting me to any could be a dick move :D
STR82ACE I got married on a long weekend. Worked out best for us because it allowed us an extra day for the honeymoon and travelling. Its the bride and groom's day after all, and whatever date they choose should be respected. If a guest considers it uncool because it is a long weekend, well, quite frankly, fuck 'em. Don't show. Its not YOUR day, its THEIR day. If you cared about them, you wouldn't give a damn. Wish them the best together.

It's your wedding....if you can't take an extra day off for your wedding....you're the one who doesn't think it's important.
moose It's your day. It's our weekend you just fucked. Dick move. People may have come because they love you but no-one was clapping their hands with joy - Oh boy I'm so glad it's on a long weekend! Two days instead of one to recover after drinking myself silly at your cheap ass cash bar! Not.
Milo I voted that it was a dick move. That said, if one of my friends did something like that, I would not be offended. I agree with AJ's post . . . if it pisses you off THAT much, how good a friend are they to you? Or you to them? Jeebus, people can be so self-absorbed.
