Letters to the Editor

after reading the letter and a few responses
I realized that my partner and I have managed to totally avoid any "wedding/marriage/ceremony" involvement for over 20 years. Friends and neighbors and even family members we are close to have gotten married and divorced in these years, but somehow very privately. If we had been invited to these events when they occurred, we would have felt obligated to attend. We have had some interesting discussions about this fact. One of the reasons I think we have all avoided these usually public events are the incredibly stupid rituals, like bachelor/bachelorette parties, that are so often involved. I loved the letter where the brother was taking the groom to a strip club and they ended up playing pool instead. Our kinda friends.
Nonetheless, good answer, Cary.
