This guy Johnny has been my friend for five years. We were in the military together, our home towns were near each other so we both moved back to the same place, we were even roommates for a while and have been friends since. Last night, he says to come drink at his place. I ask to bring my dog so I can drink and just stay the night there without worrying about the dog being alone. He says no, then I say that I'll come over and just not drink. His Response was "then don't come", so I just stayed home and went to bed at 9:30. Kind of a shitty way for a friend to act and I'm kind of bummed about it.
Was this where we were talking about mac and cheese?
Well either way I made that recipe that somebody posted and it's pretty bomb
I think I used a bit too much nutmeg but I'll know better for next time

I don't know your friend from a bar of soap but that response is just... super confusing. Like, it's shitty, but it's even shittier because it doesn't make any sense!
Why would he give a fuck if you don't drink if you come over? Even if your reason wasn't because you are a responsible pet owner, what in the blue fuck does that matter to celebrating NYE with someone who's supposed to be a friend?
"Oh, wait, you mean you DON'T want to get shit-faced and potentially vomit all over my house and/or break something that I own? Well then don't come."
Yeah, I don't get it. 90% of the time, he's an okay person. Smart, helpful, funny, a pretty good friend. Then, the other 10%, he's one of the most vile people I've ever dealt with, and it's usually when he's drinking. So I'm assuming he just got into it early and decided to enter Dick Mode, so I'm almost certainly better off for not being there. I normally wouldn't have cared, but he's my go-to friend for going out with, and I did sort of want to do something for New Years, I just didn't want to deal with taxis and all that junk.
I also have experience with having two cultural events that basically count as "marriages"
The one that counted for me and @SilverWind was way, wya before we were actually legally married
The tone there was supposed to be a lot goofier than it apparently reads

Yeah both "counted" for us, and both were meaningful to us in different ways. Our families considered us married after the first ceremony (which was family-only), and the second one was the legal one. Our anniversary will be the date of the first one, because that's the date we originally chose as our wedding date before we had to make some adjustments.
Listen, it's just that if they let blokes marry blokes or sheilas marry sheilas then soon you'd have bogans marryin' dingos and wallabies left and right.

My bro is doing two weddings also. Their big celebration wedding with everyone invited is happening outdoors in a place without a license so it can't be official. So two days earlier we're having an immediate-family-only thing in a registry office. On a Thursday afternoon. When I will have arrived back in England Thursday morning after an overnight flight and traveling since Wednesday morning. And then we're going out for a meal Thursday evening and I'm going to fall asleep in my dinner.

I used it because Bogan is a hilarious, Australian word. I barely have an understanding of what it means. Basically Australian hillbilly, right?

I was joking of course. It doesn't really have a singular meaning, is my understanding. Red neck is a close approximation - it also sometimes includes "working cless and proud", and it can be used as a compliment or a pejorative depending on the context.

But it doesn't answer this question. How does one pay for 2 weddings in 2 weeks?

I wish I could find my Hawaiian shirts. I have no idea where I put them and it's driving me crazy. I know it's still winter but I've lost like all of them and I've been looking for my favorite one for like 2 years. You'd think they would be easier to find.
I might have to pick up some more if I can't find them.

While I know you are joking. It depends on what is important to you really.
The Singapore ceremony was mostly at her grandmothers house and we paid for booze bought the shop for less than 30 people for the first hour or so before Vivienne' uncle chimed in with some wine, and while we helped with the dinner that night, Vivienne' parents paid for a lot of that.
And then we had a more traditional wedding, but if you make it cocktail you save a heap, and while I'm loathe to discuss dollar values, I know someone who's reception cost the same as what we paid, including our rings and flights.
Also at least here it is not customary to pay for guest's accommodation which I hear it's done sometimes.
VivixenneRemember your training, and we'll get through this just fine.Registered Userregular
Yeah the total cost of both our weddings, including travel and accommodation to another country, totaled to be less than most other people spend on just the reception.
It can be done. Just gotta prioritize. Eg, I was willing to wear a bridesmaid dress as a wedding dress and eventually chose my dress because it fit me off the rack and i got a discount for it.

Weddings aren't required by law to be expensive. Contrary to what Pinterest might tell you, you don't have to spend $4,000 on a dress
