“The best man pulling
the garter off a
bridesmaid. I
understand when the
groom does it with his
bride, but I’ve been a
part of it as a
groomsman and it’s weird to get
that close with a stranger
sometimes.”
“Wearing a long white
dress. I think women
spend entirely too
much money on a
long dress that will
never get worn again.
It’s such a waste of
money.”
“I think we could do
without making the
bridal party all girls
and groom’s party is
all males. When I got
married in 2002 that
was certainly the
norm but I think whoever you want
to be on your side, that’s how it
should be.”
