Mr. Strawberry is worried about his groomsmen. He’s worried that they will misbehave and ruin the wedding. He has every right to be. Let me show you what we’re dealing with here:
That’s just the tip of the iceburg.
And then of course there were the pictures from our engagement party. Our black and white themed party. It was supposed to be elegant, right? Not so much.
He has threatened violence and has been having mini panick attacks that they will embarrass him in front of his bosses. What more can we do? I personally think they are just giving him a hard time and will be just fine. Or at least I’m hoping that’s the case.

HILARIOUS!! (Sorry Ms. Strawberry, I’m sure you’re hurtin’)
Hopefully you posting their shenanigans on the internet will whip them into shape…?
I’m thinking if you threaten to put pictures on the internet where lots of women will see them in perhaps compromising / embarrassing positions.. they may comply.
Oh wait. You already put the pics up.
I’m hoping you have even better incriminating evidence to use against them as leverage. 
This is quality. When my sister got married, her loving groom was stripped to his underwear, egged on the beach, rolled in sand, rinsed with ocean water, and then drawn upon, with permanent marker!! His poor mother, was scrubbing obscenities off of his back for hours the night before the wedding!
Of course they will be misbehave….LOL
That’s a given!
OMG–I don’t know what to tell you other than this: Make sure the Best Man is SOBER when he gives the speech.
The worst wedding speech given by a drunken BM started with: “I knew Groom X when he was *&^$ing girls in the McDonalds Drive-Thru.” Yes, we were all shocked… but the bride got the worst of it.
SOBER. Sober is the key, Miss Strawberry.
I feel your pain . . . one of the reasons I decided on a day-of coordinator was so that I would have an extra set of eyes to keep on the groomsmen! I also hired the trolley company that doesnt allow drinking onboard because we have alot of down time for pics in between the ceremony and reception, and I wanted the groomsmen to still be standing for their introductions and the best man’s speech!
and like Lisa said, I obviously think keeping them sober for at least the ceremony and beginning of the reception is key . . . if you let them know that after that they can do whatever they want
You and Mr. Strawberry are lucky to have such incredibly sexy groomsmen; how could anyone resist? I particularly like the guy posing glamorously in his short-shorts!
I hope they behave!
Ok, um, the guy in the short shorts looks like my FI???
Wow! Those are some pretty…crazy looking guys.
I’m sure you’ll be able to make it through whatever they throw at you! Trying to prevent their random and insane actions will be hard… Maybe you can have some sort of planned craziness for them to concentrate on. Maybe something like this: http://www.weddingfanatic.com/if-all-else-fails/ . With something like this, not only will the guys be (at least somewhat) focused on something silly, but your guests will get a kick out of it as well!
You might also want to assign someone to keep an eye on them throughout the events.
If nothing else, Mr. Strawberry can ask them to step down from their honored positions. Hopefully they will realize that he’s serious!
Oh, don’t worry! They will be fine. I am sure that they recognize that this is an important event and they aren’t going to do anything to ruin it for their friends. My prediction is that the dinner and speeches will be just fine and then you might get some acting out later on in the evening but then that’s okay, isn’t it? A little fun after the formalities are over won’t hurt anyone!
Those pictures were a hoot. Have you ever noticed how there’s always a subtle undertone of homoeroticism among a group of super close guy friends?
AKS - that is so often true! I think if we think about sexuality on the Kinsey scale instead of in an either/or manner, this makes more sense!
Oh, boy…. I hope the bachelor party is at least 72 hours pre-wedding, so Mr. Strawberry has a fighting chance to recover. Ha!
The moment I saw that squad car I laughed outloud. As a WSU alum I’ve donated to the lovely folks of Grant County. . . 
I love the pictures! Go Cougs
lol, they look like fun. maybe because they’re not my friends. i’m sure they’ll tone it down a bit for the wedding and behave as best as they can. good luck!
Well, at least you know they will sport the “uniform” for the ceremony…but I’d say you’ll have a hard time with keeping them under control at the reception. Maybe you don’t want to! Ha ha. That’s why you love them after all…their exuberance and unpredictable ways.
And I will be laughing in the corner remembering this post.
PS-I’m with Alexa–we’ve all given those donations to Grant County, Whitman County. Their good at “soliciting donations.: “-)
