Mores for Gays video blog (Ep. 6): Hitting the (bridal) showers

Future epitaph: "It seemed like a good idea at the time."

I've done the Best Man thing twice, the Person of Honor thing once, and been a supporting groomsman/usher twice.  Mores and customs have shifted around a great deal, so it'd be nice for a modern recap.  (Fortunately, I didn't have to plan any mondo showers or bachelor/bachelorette parties.)

 

Damn, Dan, you are one CUTE mofo.

I second Metabaron's comment.

I thirdly Metabaron's comment.

Dan, I tend to get sidetracked by you beauty, beautiful chest. I may have to close my eyes to concentrate on what you're saying.

 

Live Long and Prosper

Fun stuff, Daniel. I've only been in one wedding, and I was a groomsman. I was also one of the primary participants at the bachelor party. At the bachelorette party, it turned out that all of the guys got bored and wanted to drink, so we just had a big get-together with all of the girls. In summary, I haven't been involved in the ladyside of wedding things. Interesting nonetheless!

I was the Man of Honor (before Patrick Dempsey, thank you very much!) for a very good friend last year and stayed with the ladies for the prep stuff. Thankfully they had a couple's shower, so it was mixed company and not as traditional (although someone did make the bouquet out of ribbons to be thrown at the rehearsal dinner). It was a little odd helping the rest of the bridal party get ready the day of the wedding, but nothing major, and in the end I was just honored to be there for her. Since then I've run into a guy from the hair salon where the gals got their 'dos and he said that I was the best Maid of Honor they've ever seen, probably because I was so freaked out about forgetting something that I was really really organized. I knew what fate awaited me if I were to mess up the bride's big day!

I'm a bit confused as to why this column is called Gay Mores, when it just seems to be a video guide on how to behave politely. The word etiquette comes to mind.

Forgot to mention that despite the slightly off name (which isn't that big a deal), I really enjoy your videos. :)

Though, you forget to mention to bring flowers for the brides mom. That's usually the person who cares if there are blokes at these events (in my experience).

"mores" was the plural of "more".  :)

Shows what I know.

 

 

thanks, good advice, and I agree with all your fans, very cute
