Pro tip: When planning the engagement itself, tell her closest couple friends. They’ll always ask what they can do, so tell them to throw this party. Did this myself and had a big banger after the engagement that I didn’t plan and just got to get drunk at. Would recommend.
It’s that out-of-body feeling, ya know? You’re internally thinking, am I still drunk, or do I just not feel bad? Then…it hits. Sometimes after the golf nap, sometimes after brunch, but it finds you. Full blown crisis mode. And most of the goobers above have never dealt with our feelings. Fuck em.
And have leftover fajitas for a week if they’re made at home, and not to mention the ingredients for margs so you can have a couple (3+) poolside this weekend.
Another popular one that got floated once (and only once) in our home was fucking zucchini noodles. Also called “zoodles”. That was a one and done dish.
Literally the arrangement I have with my wife. Usually I try to get the food prepped and cooked before the game, then after eating I am free to continue watching while she cleans. I am going to take your drink idea now.
As a married man, I cannot oversell the importance of a few good “couple friends”. Be picky about the couples you roll with routinely and it makes activities much more enjoyable. Be able to drink a few beers with someone while the girls do stuff they find enjoyable is essential. If she has a friend who’s boyfriend sucks, be polite, but tell your S/O. She’ll know that she should probably just hang with that friend without you from time to time.
My bud and I developed a routine where we hit each other up on Sunday around 6:30-7. We usually talk about exactly what you mentioned “nothing”. I was in his wedding a few weeks back and he’s in mine coming up soon, so we cover the wedding planning bullshit then families, local gossip, sports, etc. Love this article and glad to know the lost art of the phone call isn’t dead.
One thing we know about sports is people take dynasties and dominance for granted after it becomes habitual. However, we as an American society yearn for pure, unadulterated dominance, and we want those heroes to be confident and mildly cocky. I miss the hell out of just watching Tiger be on the course. I do enjoy the new guys of golf (Spieth, Fowler, Thomas, Rory) but really want to see Tiger embarrass the Golden Boy one time in a major. I want to watch Rickie or Rory fold while Tiger stands idly by after sticking an approach to within 3 ft.

That’s a lot of fucking money for just a few hours. My friend Ben Dover never made quite that much.
Only being able to afford the store brand sparkling water. PGP.

Yeah man. Come on.

That’s why they have different tee boxes. People can move forward. That’s the point.
Nah Dave, it’s more than one dude. I’m in that club. Card-carrying member.
She’s a walking stone cold stunner. I respect her game and hope the chase if fun for the both of you.

Having to promise a redesign, but no idea of the timeline. PGP
