So, does anyone know how early on Thursday they will let cars line up to go in when the camping gates open? The campground opens at 5pm and I've heard you can line up 2 hours in advance, but I haven't been able to confirm that with anything official.

We got there at like 10pm last year and got a pretty good spot in premier, but if you have nothing better to do and want to be one of the first in the campground, I'm sure getting in line at 3pm would make you one of the first 50 people or so.

Sheesh! I'm really fucking glad that I'm just an usher in this wedding next week. The bridesmaid that was supposed to ride out with me after the ceremony asked the bride if it was ok that she left with me, and I guess she went all Bridezilla on her. Apparently all of the 200 guests will think the whole night is ruined if she slips out after the wedding, so she pretty much has to stay until it's over. Now her only option is to beg a friend of hers to drive her all the way out to the Gorge on Sunday morning. Gawd dayyyum.

That's a messed up situation. The bride needs to get over herself.

If the bridesmaid gets bossed like this, I can only imagine what the groom has in store for himself.

It's totally fucked. They need to realize that Memorial Day weekend is an important fucking holiday for a lot of people. Both of us are already cutting our trips in half for them, and now she's being so selfish as to not let her leave before the least important part of the wedding. We're both committing this weekend to the bachelor/bachelorette parties, next Thursday to the rehearsal dinner, Friday to a wedding party outing, and then the wedding on Saturday. I really hate how fucking selfish people can get when they think they are deserving of complete undivided attention and time.

I missed last year due to a wedding. Love the people, hated the date they chose. All is forgiven.

So Pea, are you just going to leave all yo' crap in your car and set up after the shows or are you going to have time to unload and stuff?

I was thinking it'd be pretty shitty to be setting up late-night!

I really hate how fucking selfish people can get when they think they are deserving of complete undivided attention and time. A childhood friend of mine invited me to her wedding reception on Mother's Day and I ended up not going at all because I wanted to spend the day with my fiancée (who is my son's mother). It does indeed seem very selfish and makes me think the brides are full of themselves when they schedule a wedding or the reception for a major holiday.

I so don't give a shit about weddings. All of the members of my family are Mormon, so when any one of them gets married (there's a lot of them so this has been happening frequently), my presence at their wedding amounts to nothing more than putting on a suit and standing in a parking lot while they do whatever it is they do in the Temple.
For my other friends... like, whatever dude. If you're getting married somewhere that I can get to and back in a day, then cool. I'll come out. But my friend Steve got married last summer, and it would have required either driving or flying to central California, paying out the ass to stay at this fucking winery where the thing was going down and abandoning all of my own responsibilities for four to six days. And then they expect you to buy them a wedding present on top of that.
Sorry, but fuck that. At the time, I was like, Dude. I, like, don't have the money to do all that shit. And he was like, well maybe if you didn't go to so many concerts you would. Maybe if you weren't going to Sasquatch you'd have enough money to come to my wedding. And fuck that. You'd seriously ask me to change my lifestyle and to blow off the one thing that happens all fucking year that means the most to me of anything I do so that I can fill a seat at your wedding?
Get your fucking priorities straight, people. I don't do weddings. If whoever Pea's friend is flipped her shit on me for wanting to duck out after the wedding so that I could go to something that I had a $300 ticket for, I'd tell her to go fuck herself and find a new fucking bridesmaid.

Our friend was getting married in California and HG was going to be in the wedding. We were expected to pay for the suit, any bachelor party stuff, the transportation to and from California, and a couple hundo a night to stay at the venue. HG ended up not being in the wedding. Our other friend was still in the wedding and he and his girlfriend (a good friend of mine) were going to do all of this. Then the fiance doesn't even invite her (or me but I knew that would happen) to the bachelorette party. We aren't friends anymore because that is some bullshit.

People just seem to completely fucking forget what the point of getting married is. It isn't about the joining of two people who love each other anymore. It's become nothing more than a big fucking convoluted "look at me look at me!" party for self-centered assholes. How ANYONE can justify spending $30,000 on a four hour get-together is beyond anything I'll ever be able to comprehend.
Fuck it. I'm getting married at Sasquatch if I ever do, and every last one of my friends better buy a fucking ticket and come cheer me on.
