HIRED!"You wanna marry him? Good."
"You wanna marry her? Good."
"By the power invested in me by the Internet, I pronounce you wife and hubby. Now kiss the bride, fool. The chicken's getting cold."
That's how I'd do it
My gay best friend just asked me to marry him

Man I can't wait to give a speech at a wedding. I'll be 4 whiskeys in, grin on my face, making book on when they'll be divorced.
I usually hate to cross issues in threads, but this is an awfully cynical look at marriage for someone who's arguing that people are inherently good.

Inherently good people can be bad at being married!I usually hate to cross issues in threads, but this is an awfully cynical look at marriage for someone who's arguing that people are inherently good.
Plus being married might turn inherently good people into evil monsters. I've seen it happen, it's true.
My dad, who's awesome, actually did that speech at my wedding. He did the voice and everything.
I love my dad.

I did something similar when my best friend got married. I was maid-of-honor. We had a brand new Mercedes SLK 230 that a family friend let us use as the bridal car. Right before we went into the church I told her if she had any doubt in her mind about this to just say the word because we could take that car to Philadelphia airport, buy two tickets to anywhere on my credit card, and be on our way before anyone knew we were gone.
They're divorced now, he really should have taken me up on the offer.
That's different from being cynical about marriage. If you see that two people are getting married for the wrong reasons or shouldn't be married, then there's no reason not to offer. See any episode of Bridezillas for evidence. At their wedding, my best friend's husband had someone joke with him that the car was still out back. He turned to his best man and said, "It never crossed my mind. My feet are warm and this the happiest moment of my life." They now have a 2-year-old girl and a 3-month-old boy, who are both my godchildren.
I have a good friend that I was a best man for. I tried to warn him repeatedly that he was making a mistake. I even told him on the day of his wedding that if he didn't want to go through with it I would help him escape. He went through with it... and I was supportive and made an awesome best man speech. Then everything went to hell for him and he ended up getting divorced.
Four years later I got to be his best man again and gave an even better best man speech when he met and married the right lady. He did joke about the car having a full tank of gas though.

Same here.
Actually, I'd be all for this.
Except instead of Dave doing it over Skype, have him actually attend the ceremony, and let all of us schlubs "durrrr" along on the Skype feed.

Well, it's only because your people dress so fabulously.
Also the sassiness, I think, is a side-effect of your Youth Corrupting Field, or YCF.
Be prepared. I have a horde of sassy gay friends and ball-busting lesbian friends on the guest list! I showed the General a link on Star Wars themed weddings and now he's all excited to plan stuff. It is definitely going to be an offbeat atheist, feminist affair but I am NOT walking down the aisle to the Imperial March.
I have a friend who had a star wars wedding. The groom was dressed as anakin during the ceremony, grooms men were storm troopers, ushers were imperial guard, and they walked to the front of the church under a jedi lightsaber arch. The bride and her side were all in traditional wedding dresses. When they came to the reception the groom was dressed as Vader. It was a pretty awesome wedding.
Isn't that usually for the grooms new mother in law anyways?
I am unsure of this custom. The General is actually going to walk me down the aisle because I am the only person who is giving myself away. Plus, it represents the beginning of our new lives as partners and equals in the relationship.
You missed the joke, which is mother in law = evil empire
So you come by it honestly.
Come by what? My awesome? Why yes, yes it is passed down from my father to me.
(I actually feel bad jumping to that conclusion and I would be so embarassed if you thought I was awesome.)
I had a good friend featured on Offbeat Bride (lego cake toppers I believe) ((no, I'm not in any of the pictures))
Also I gave an awesome Best Man Speech before I left Tennessee

Negatory on that one. I love the General's mother and can't wait for her to be my MIL. As for my mom, weeeeeeeellll, luckily she's planning on moving out of state after she retires (the same year we're getting married).
[DOUBLEPOST=1360328729][/DOUBLEPOST]Speaking on the Star Wars thing; there will be Star Wars aspects at our wedding as well as geeky things that I like. I'm not too big on the SW and want to keep it balanced. There will be bridal party pictures taken with the lightsaber collection. Trust in this.

I read this as "sassy gal friend"...
Goddang, I need more coffee!
Dirty mind! The General has the entire replica collection, which is more than enough for the wedding party....
No, not gonna say anything
Easier to render in video if the lightsabre placeholders are white.Pssss, white lightsabers... LAME
Pssss, white lightsabers... LAME
The General's sabers come in all colors and shapes. I truly live in the lightsaber museum.
. . . Sounds like Nick's prom night?
