  • Not exactly, no, but I have seen several women as ‘best friends’ in the role, and they ran the range of confident jokemasters to nervous public speakers.

    My advice is 1) to make sure to ask the dj how to best hold the mic so people can hear you 2) rest assured that the groom chose you for the role - he has the confidence in you - rely on that to help boost yours 3) prepare so you can relax - don’t overthink it past that!



  • I ran a dj business for about 15 years until covid and the sucky state of music killed the interest in it for me. We did hundreds of weddings.

    The most memorable best man/maid of honor speeches were the ones where the speaker showed genuine love for the couple, shared a memory of them/with them, and delivered the speech from the heart, not from a piece of paper. They didn’t make it about themselves. They didn’t do a “roast” either. Those are tacky.

    Honor your friend and his wife (often she’s had a vision of this day instilled in her from early childhood) by focusing on them.





  • 1996-the end dodge grand caravan / Chrysler Town and country minivans can fit 4x8 drywall up to a bit over a foot deep, more if you’re able to slide the front seats up. I finished out my basement hauling 2x4’s and drywall in my 2012 t&c. Damn side better gas mileage too







  • I replied elsewhere, but I’m gonna stick it here as well for visibility:

    NOAA Weather Radios go off like alarm clocks when warnings are issued. Loud as hell. We hear ours 1 floor away through closed doors with a fan and a white noise machine. This camp absolutely should have had not 1 but 2 of these in separate locations.

    I’m the emergency manager of a camp. We have redundant alert and notification systems, a full All Hazards emergency plan and drill routinely for sheltering and evacuation.

    No less should have been done for these kids. This is 100% on the hands of the leadership of the camp. Full stop.
