About And I Have To Pay For The F*cking Flowers?: A Heads

There are two financial predicaments that face the Father of the Bride (FOB). One problem is the attempt of the groom’s family to move as many of the wedding expenditures as possible to the FOB’s side of the wallet. This does not mean they are all cheap bastards. (But this guide assumes that they are.) Another hitch is that any time the word “wedding” is used as part of a sentence, the price quoted is marked up higher than a bottle of water in the Sahara desert. For the Father of the Bride, the insights in this guide will minimize stress and aggravation, since he will be on full red alert. And while we cannot fully put a stop to the screwing he is about to receive, at least the FOB will see why the simple process of two people exchanging vows can make a college graduate’s student loan debt seem like pocket change. Everything I have learned about the mystifying monetary shockers, from hiring the photographer, choosing the venue, printing the invitations, selecting the DJ, etc., is covered here. Be assured that if the FOB doesn’t pay close attention, every cost will find its way to his side of the ledger. And I guarantee he will not be able to pay close attention, as he will be distracted by monumental last minute life and death decisions such as should the flower girl start on her left foot and toss the flowers with her right hand, or vice versa. Having recently endured the classic FOB wedding experience, I have permanent cramps in my right hand from check signings, and a lingering regret that I was too cowardly to say how I really felt about the groom’s family when I gave the FOB toast. There are many classic wedding books, filled with serious advice and solemn suggestions for the Father of the Bride. But if a wonderful wedding is like a great party — and it is — then why not a humorous guide poking lighthearted fun at the weird and wonderful rituals and customs? If you are the FOB, have been the FOB, will be the FOB, if you are on the groom’s side, the bride’s side, part of the wedding party, a guest, or if you simply like to laugh out loud, then And I Have To Pay For The F*cking Flowers? is a perfect gift.
