Sup June?
Larry's got the appropriate advice.
How about whenever two women get married, the father of one bride pays for the wedding while the father of the other bride pays into a fund that pays for weddings where there's no bride?
Lastly, if you don't have a passport, you need no additional excuses.
Can't tell them too far ahead of time, expedited passport only takes 2-3 days and is just $60 extra IIRC.
No idea on the cultural realities, red, but I'd say plane tickets/hotel/food for you and anyone you choose to bring, at the most.
Congratulations to son, many happy years!

I have no idea. I have friends who have been the parents in both of those non-traditional weddings. I am not particularly curious, but I wouldn't have the courage to ask either one how the financial arrangements were handled. I'm sure they work it out somehow--just as all other parents do or don't.
I was obviously just pokin' a bit of fun at redbuck re: his spelling. Best wishes to him and his son! Maybe red can even find a blackjack table near the destination.
Got together the other night with friends who I don't see often enough. They're of the age where their children are getting married.
For whatever reason, the conversation turned to destination/huge weddings. They told of some friends of theirs who, upon their daughter getting married, made the following proposal: we'll pay for your wedding, or give you $40k right now.
Daughter chose the former. Sigh. Rats.
15 years ago that could have been a subplot in a movie. Two dads fighting over which of their sons is the bride in their wedding in order to have the other one pay for it.
We spent less than $400 on our wedding. Everyone enjoyed the party.
mark with the callback! Well played, sir!
He could perhaps feature ripe oranges in the wedding party. Combine them with chocolate for an interesting wedding dessert!?
First of all, I would like to congratulate your son and his prospective husband.
Next, since there are no fathers of the bride, everybody is off the hook.
Lastly, if you don't have a passport, you need no additional excuses.
Grats!

Tom, good one!
I was wondering about a bachelor's party ect - is that still a reality?
As for the oranges, things are looking pretty good, and bj was fine
until my last trip almost wiped out 5 winning trips in a row!!!
Thanks for all the comments you old farts...
While you're over there, see if you can find a Portuguese word that rhymes with "orange." That should be a great excuse to talk up some of the pretty ladies!
