Do I hear crickets chirping?

[optimized]

Is it just me, or has the inactivity of this board served as indirect proof of the old adage that the whole "wedding thing" is almost exclusively a "girl thing" at its root? I can''t help but chuckle...

Here''s a question for the guys: If you had the choice, would you rather have the full-blown wedding extravaganza, or would you prefer a nice elopement far away from the throngs throwing rice and getting drunk on your dime?
