Miss Manners: Best man is on the hook for 5-day bachelor party and two weddings

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:30:56 GMT

DEAR MISS MANNERS: My daughter’s husband, Liam, has been asked to be the best man at the fall wedding of his friend Cody. Cody and Liam have communicated, at most, three or four times via text in the last three years.Cody has asked Liam to throw a five-day destination bachelor party. Not only that, he and his fiancee are asking the members of the wedding party to fly to Austria for their “first” wedding, stay there for six days, then travel to Italy for their “second” wedding and stay there for another six days. (No one in the wedding party has any connection to these places.) And of course they are also expected to bestow a gift on the greedy couple.My daughter figures attending the wedding would cost them about $20,000, and that’s without the bachelor party. They would also have to take their young son with them.Liam is afraid that if he says no, he will lose Cody as a friend, while my daughter is telling him that Cody already isn’t his fr...

Guregian: No ultimatums, but Patriots owner Robert Kraft got his points across

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:30:56 GMT

PHOENIX — Robert Kraft stole headlines last year at the NFL owners meetings when he seemingly drew a line in the sand with members of his football staff by voicing his displeasure over not winning a playoff game in three seasons.That tone didn’t change after the Patriots’ 8-9 season last year, as Kraft sent a letter to season ticket holders in January once again voicing dissatisfaction with the product and promising “critical evaluations.”Let’s just say being irrelevant in the NFL is not Kraft’s cup of tea.So did he toss any more verbal grenades during his session with the media Monday at the owner’s meetings?Let’s just say spliced in between numerous compliments for his head coach — “I still believe in Bill” — and the optimism he now feels given moves made thus far, most notably the addition of Bill O’Brien, Kraft still managed to launch a few zingers.Asked if he still had confidence in Bill Belichick, Kraft closed his answer with this: “In the end, this is a business.
