Speaker 1 (00:00):
If you were ever a single person, or if you
are a single person and you went to a wedding
and you were and there was an attempt at to
set up, because I feel like what happens is a
single person goes to wedding and it's been a while,
I guess, since I mean usually it's this is way
more common I think in people's twenties or whatever. But like,
you go to a wedding and in your single and
(00:20):
there's usually other single people there, and so like the
groom of the bride is like, well, at our wedding,
you need to meet Sally because Sally's single, and I
think you guys would like each other, because apparently if
you're at a wedding and you're not in, you're by yourself,
or if you're single, then it's imperative that you are
not because it's so romantic. You know, you have to
have love too, because I feel like I'm always the
(00:41):
single guide the wedding and it's not so much anymore
because well, first of all, I don't go to that
many weddings anymore. I go to second weddings, I guess,
but they're usually much smaller. I've actually i've actually stood
in a wedding for the same gude twice already in
my life. And I'm not that old, but uh, in
my twenties. So I feel like there's a lot of
a lot of single people. So every time I go
to a wedding, oh you got to meet so and
(01:02):
so and all you and then and then they tell
that person. But what I what I found is it
almost never works, like has it ever worked for you?
Because you know you sometimes like I can remember, I
went to one wedding and the brides the grooms. One
of the groom's best men men I guess, was a
former Navy seal, very good looking navy guy and like
(01:26):
good looking dude, like legit whatever, whatever, And for weeks
in advance, it was that this coworker was going to
meet this guy and they were gonna hit it off
and it was gonna be great.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
So she got her hopes up and whatever. We go
to the wedding.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Turns out he winds up liking another one of our
coworkers more. And they're the ones who wind up in
the parking lot of the wedding venue hooking up.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
And so then homegirl.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
First girl's mad, but she really has no reason to
be mad because it's like, well, he picked somebody else.
But I mean, she had her hopes up, seen pictures
of the guy. You know, he'd been talked up, the
whole thing. But I think it's all just kind of
a it's a wild game, you know, and when drinks
are involved and people are going to these weddings, and
it's like, I don't know, but has this ever worked?
And I bring this up because a woman has gone
(02:08):
viral on TikTok because ahead of her friend's wedding, a
TikTok user named Mac asked the bride about any possibility
that single men would be attending, and the bride responded, yes,
my fiance is compiling a list, and a day later,
Mack received a full blown power point of all the single.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Men Oh God, A good friends who are attending the.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Wedding, not just their names, though this presentation included photos, profession,
current location, where they grew up, what sport they played
in high school. She may not have needed all of this,
but she's based in New York and I guess instead
of chatting up a guy who lived in Chicago, for example,
she was able to fast track the process go for
another New Yorker. Did it turn out Well, No, it
(02:48):
was a bust, she says, but she appreciated the information
and having that beforehand.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
That's nice.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I feel like people should do that for their friends.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
That is nice. But has the wedding arranged men ever worked?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
I wonder like if anyone ever left a wedding and
then like that's the I found the one at your wedding.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
I don't have any friends that has happened to, but
I know that weddings are a romantic place. Like I
feel like every single person that goes to the wedding
is I in the bridesmaids.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
As they walk down the little.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Carpet or whatever, they're all like being sized up by
the single men. And then when they do the little
bouquet toss, I feel like that's the opportunity for the
single men to kind of pick out the single girls.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
A lot of people I feel like hook up at
other people's weddings.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Yeah, well, I don't know if I'm if they do
that thing and I'm watching, I stay away from the
one who's the most aggressive, right, the one who's the
most rapidest, Like, yeah, the one who just like ran
across the room and jumped and wind up on Sports
Center for grabbing them. Okay, that's the one who I
think is a little bit too excited about it, and
I need to sort of take a step back from
that one.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
That's me throwing albows trying to get a little bouquet.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
And all the guys are watching going which one of
like all the guys, especially the guys who are in
relationships with these women, because it's like, oh yeah, the
one who's like snap it from the other one, it's like,
oh God, she's with me.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
I got to deal with her. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Well, I just wonder if it's ever worked, because I
mean I definitely have met people at weddings and things
have happened that lasted the length of the wedding weekend.
And I also been told so and so so excited
to meet you, were setting you up with so and so.
This is going to be great, only for so and
so not to be that excited about it, or for
me not to be that excited about so and so
in real life. But then it's awkward because there's been
(04:28):
so much, you know, build up for weeks and weeks
leading up to this.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Yeah, it's the build up for me.
Speaker 5 (04:32):
I think there's so many things that have to fall
into place perfectly for it to work that I feel
like the percentage has to be low. Yeah, that it's
a lasting thing, like maybe for that night because everyone's drunk,
it looks hot and whatever, but like there's.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Something that's lasting.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I don't love.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
There's a very nice thing to do though. It's a
very nice thing to do to make a presentation. Oh yeah,
but I will say that the story I was telling
you about the Navy seal and the and the woman
who wound up not being he wound up being someone else,
this was it was a destination wedding. This is a
crazy story. They hooked up that night, right, and then
(05:06):
the other girls pissed. But the other two traveled together
like they traveled because we were we all lived at
the same place at the time when we were going
away to this other person's hometown, the bride's hometown for
the wedding. So it's already awkward as the two go
back to the airport to get on the same flight.
The two girls, the one who hooked up and the
one who didn't get to hook up, and then this
is real.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
The flight gets delayed.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Right, the flight gets delayed five hours, so I guess
she's texting dude from the night before. Dude drives to
the airport, gets a parking spot in the parking garage.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Still the same.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
The other one is mad, but the one who hooked
up leaves security, goes back through security. After the parking rudge,
they do it again in the parking I'm like, what,
And then the other one's just sitting there, So she's
already pissed, and now her friend's not going to hang
out with her for the five hours for the delay
because you're on the parking lot with the same guy.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
But then she was supposed to go Yeah, I just
wanted to go home. But I did know that girl
just wanted to go home. Oh yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
My story made sensor if you need a diagram. But
all I'm saying is this girl's like, not only did
I not was he not into me last night? He's
not into me now? And I got to sit next
to this girl who just hooked up with him again
in the in the parking garage.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
You know, section C on the airport, fresh.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
Out the back seat next to you away on the plane.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Right exactly. Hey, Renee, good morning, Hey, good morning. Hi Renee.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
So you have one of these sort of wedding hookup scenarios,
but it worked out for.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
You, well, not really in the end, but so it
was about probably like ten to fifteen years ago, my
cousin got married and I was a bridesmaid in the wedding,
and I ended up hooking up with the best man,
who was, you know, the groom's brother. So then actually
they ended up getting divorced, and recently she ended up
(06:53):
getting remarried. But if you can guess, I did not
get an invitation to that second wedding.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Now you know what had been out. If she married
the brother, that would have been No, he got.
Speaker 6 (07:04):
Married a short while after the wedding, so that might
have been a little questionable.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Wait a minute, So there was a bit of an
overlap with Renee and the and the future.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Wife I unbeknownst to me. Unbeknownst to me, I.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Wasn't the future wife at the wedding. How was this
even at permitted to occur?
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Exactly, I have no idea. I didn't ask questions.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
Ignorance is boss.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
I agree with that. Thank you for that PowerPoint would
have been nice. You know, with all this kind of information.
You know, have a good day, do you too? Thank
you for calling known wedding shenanigans for you.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
No, I've never really hot take care. I've never really
been to a wedding as an adult. Yeah, my friends
will be having weddings.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
Well, anything that happened that was scandalous was after one wedding,
Pulena and I ended up in the same.
Speaker 7 (07:49):
Thod That truly good.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
I'm in bed with a woman. I am the woman.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
I'm here to tell the story.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Yeah, well that was what I think.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
That was the weekend where I learned that you, if
you're not in the view of others, you don't wear pants.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
That is true.
Speaker 7 (08:06):
Jason Brown yells at me and always says, I've never
met someone takes off their pants so much. But I
hate wearing pants, especially to bed. I want to wear
pants to bed. But I asked him if I can sleep
over because he was staying at the hotel, and I
thought this whole time, I'm like, oh, I'm going home.
I'm not staying at this place. Oh wow, Oh no,
I had a great time. I'll I don't want to party.
So I asked him, Can I can I stay with you?
Can I sleep over? He's like, yes, but I'm building
(08:26):
a wall. He built a wall of pillows because he
didn't want to be by a woman. And then he
woke up at four am. And I'm not even being funny.
He screamed dad and shot up from like the bed,
like he just got up.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
And that scares me to this day.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
That was a very interesting night.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
And this all happened because you wouldn't put your pants
on wear pants. I am unbelievable. Amanda, Hi, good.
Speaker 8 (08:50):
Morning, Hi, good morning. How are you guys?
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Hey, so you great, Thanks for calling for listening. So
you actually have a love connection from a wedding it worked? Yeah.
Speaker 8 (08:58):
So the wedding was in Cabo. It was my best
friend getting married and the groom's best friend. They like
set us up to walk down the aisle together. Totally.
We're trying, like the whole weekend to get us together.
And at the end of it it actually worked out.
And we've been together for two years and living together
and it they like totally set us up and it works.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Wow. And so they'll be coming to your wedding.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (09:23):
And now it's fun because you know, like double dates
is fun because they're best friends and we're best friends
and it somehow worked out for us.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
But have you considered, and I'm not putting this on you,
but have you considered that like if one, if somebody
breaks up, then the equilibrium is thrown off here.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Yeah, we have real problems.
Speaker 8 (09:40):
We talk about that. We're like, yeah, me and my
girlfriend were like, okay, wait, so if this doesn't work out,
how are we gonna you know, get together from here
on out. But no, it's been fine and it's been
really fun.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Well there you go, Amanda, thank you, it works. Have
a good date. It worked for you.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
I mean, yeah, people, I just think people are in
a certain kind of mood at a wedding, especially I think,
and I don't mean to make this, you know, a
male female thing, but I think single women start to
feel a certain kind of way of weddings if they
want to be married, because it's like they're watching it
happen for someone else, but then it's not happening for them.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
I guess. I guess.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I just I as a man, I'm not familiar with
a guy who's been to a wedding and sat there
and was like, man, I wish.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
It were me.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
You don't ever feel that, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
No, because it's short of meeting the person who I
and this is nothing I guess anyone I've dated, but like,
I don't know that I want to be married. I
don't know that I'm ever going to get married, and
I don't think I've met anyone I should be married to.
So I don't sit at a wedding and go I
wish it were me because I don't know the person
I should be doing it with oka and I don't
think a lot of guys are as into weddings as
(10:50):
women are, So I don't know. I mean, I've sat
at weddings before with single guys, so they're not sitting
they're not leaning over to me, going, this is some
beautiful whish I were sitting there. No one, no, no
man has ever said that to me. Oh, but I
think it's I don't know. Our weddings kind of typically
more of a female thing.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
I would say, so, I think, I think so.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
So then I don't yeah, so, then, but howbout you
had friends at weddings being like, oh, someday I hope
it's me, or I hope I have the wedding like
this or something like Jesse.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
You guys don't say that to each other.
Speaker 6 (11:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
I go every wedd and I go to I'm like, okay, yeah,
I like how they did that. I want to do
that my wedding one day. I like how they did that.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
I'm not doing my wedding one day.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
And then you scan the room for the single man
after a couple of cocktails and you're like, potential grooms
in here.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
So yeah, women think like that.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
I mean, from my perspective, that's how I've thought at weddings.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
But like, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
I just want to go home sometimes, That's what I.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Mean.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
But I'm like, I want to go home.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
What is the earliest possible opportunity for an exit that's
not considered.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
That's where I'm at
