Bringing Down the L.A.W.

October 6th, 2010 @ 1:18 pm by Mrs. Zebra

This is how I grew up.

Bringing Down the L.A.W. :  wedding family providence Boys  I was about two when that picture of my brothers and cousins was taken. Sprinkle in a neighborhood with a severe lack children without a y chromosome, and you’ve got me. I didn’t stand a chance, and neither did most of my boyfriends. My tomboy act was never convincing. I’ve always been a girly girl at heart, but I’m a guy’s girl.

Don’t get me wrong, I love me some good gossip, but the girl fights and the girl drama just never appealed to me. I was a push-up-contesting, mud-slinging, tree-climbing, dirt-bike-riding, minnow-catching little girl from the beginning.

That’s my vuvuzela, and I’m tooting it harder than Spain fans.

You’ve met my three boyfriends, Zeb, Nick, and Adam. (I refer to Nick and Adam as “Number Twos.”) We’ve had some great times together and tons of memories to keep us laughing for years to come. My three boyfriends have been inseparable since the first day of kindergarten, and they are great people. As my high school friendships began to evolve and dissolve, I found myself hanging out with the guys. There was one particular night that I had used the term “Zeb’s friends” and Adam said to me, ”I think it’s pretty safe to assume that we are your friends now, too.” ( I reminded Number Twos of this recently, in case they forgot. This is pertinent to the story.)

Needless to say, they’ve never really had guys’ nights that did not include me. I hope it’s because I’m not a pain-in-the-ass girlfriend that Zeb needs to escape from every now and again. I’m also going to assume it is because I’m easy going rather than just a part of our package deal. Maybe, just maybe, they enjoy my company. I hear I’m pretty good at one-liners with my verbal diarrhea and truck-driver’s mouth.

Number Twos are Zeb’s best men—-our best men, really—and they are planning a bachelor party without a part of the wolf pack. Three quarters of the wolf pack does not a wolf pack make! It is a wolf fraction, jackholes!

Bringing Down the L.A.W. :  wedding family providence Wolfpac

Wolf Pack

No No NO—I do NOT want to accompany them on Zeb’s bachelor party. That would be silly. Rather, I’m having a sad time knowing that I am going to miss a no doubt epic evening with my friends.

They’ve been joking recently about taking Zeb to Vegas, but dammit I WANT TO GO! So I’ve politely told Number Twos that I’m bringing down the L.A.W.

Ladies

Against

Wolfpack

That’s right. I will use brute force on nether regions if they think they are leaving me out of a trip to Vegas. You hear me?! NETHER REGIONS! BRUTE FORCE! POINTY HEELS!!!

However will they enjoy the weekend without my many descriptive words for private parts? Who is going to suggest a power hour at the most opportune moment? They can’t order THREE Jaager bombs—everyone knows three is not a good number…four—or better yet, eight—is a much better number when ordering shots. It’s. Just. Not. Right.

I think I’m losing my case—and maybe my mind. Damn fractional wolf pack. You said we were friends!

Stupid. Fractional. Wolf Pack.

Who wants to join the L.A.W. with me? Better yet, who wants to go to Vegas for a WEEK. Suck that, Boyfriends!

Dude, you tell me the time and I’ll be there! I’ve planned two, yes two, trips to Vegas and both have fallen through. Bonues: I’m a tomboy who is very proud of how far I can spit.

LMAO!!!! Oh I love this blog. You go girl!
That sounds sooo like me! I was just telling FH the other day that I can do anything the boys can do and so we should have a coed Bachelor/Bachelorette Party. I honestly want to party with the boys than the girls….with the exception of my MOH.

I’m so with you. My husband and I hung out in the same group of friends in college, and I became friends with all of the guys long before my husband and I were a couple. After we started dating, not much changed, and I was still considered one of the guys. Once I heard what they had in store for the bachelor party, I was a little bummed too, because it sounded like so much fun!

Hey Zeb! I LOVE reading your blog. You crack me up. Anyways, my fiance and I have the same group of friends, both guys and girls and we all love hanging out together and though the boys like to have their time and the girls theirs we will be having a joint bachelor/bachelorette party like MrsCunningham2B mentioned. We think its a great idea and all of our friends are excited about hanging out together and having a good time. Just a thought!

LOL, this post cracks me up! I’ve always been one of the guys too, so that’s why we really didn’t do real bach parties, we hung out with all our friends together, and then only split up for a couple hours for drinks separately!

Aside from actually wanting to go to the bachelor party, I’m so with you :)

I am a girly-girl with all my heart, but the vast majority of the time I want to be around the boys! I grew up with brothers and boy cousins galore, I love sports (watching them, not playing them), and I just generally don’t get along with girls as well as boys.

But count me out of the bachelor party. I drink manlier drinks than Mr. Taco Night most of the time (think me with a Guinness and him with some fruity cocktail, hahaha) but the bachelor party will be endless amounts of Bud Light and Jagerbombs, and I can’t/won’t do that. Enjoy, boys!

OMG this is totally me! I am definitely a guys girl! I go everywhere with my FI and his buddies. I don’t know what I am going to do with myself when it comes time for his bachelor party. Someone better keep me distracted, cuz I’m going to be worrying the whole time that I am missing out on ALOT of fun!

I think the most awesome part about this post is that it is clearly directed towards them, a blatant and obvious threat. Which means they are reading your weddingbee blog. And if they can come over to the hive, and read your blog, it’s only fair that you can go over to the wolfpack, and party like a rockstar in Vegas. So there. Irrefutable logic. You win.

@Miss Peach Tree: I agree! Irrefutable!

Judge, fractional wolfpack… the hive rests its case.

@TheFutureMcBride: Never learned how to spit. I always tell my brothers that they epic failed because I can’t hock a loogey (ew).

@Htownbride: We’re going our separate ways on the bachelor/bachelorette. I like the coed idea too though! If it were summer we’d take everyone up to Maine for a weekend on the Saco.

@Miss Taco Night: MMMM Guinness! You’re making me miss England! It tastes so much better over there!

@ms.moonlight: Well said my friend, well said!
@Purple Paisley: I’m hoping ours will be the same night…. both of us somewhere in the Northeast preferably.
@jordynrose: The LAW will come pick you up for a night out then! :)
@Miss Peach Tree: HA. Actually I wrote this post immediately after I got off the phone with one of the #2s. I told him I was writing it and seeing how many people I could get to join the L.A.W. I emailed him the post… his girlfriend likes it but he hasn’t responded as to how much HE likes it though. Stupid wolf.
@Freeze Pops: Order in the court! The verdict has been read.
