When leaving, I run over a rough curb and tear up the U-haul’s trailer hitch—though I won’t realize this until I am on the highway, dragging our car trailer at sixty mile- an-hour by the safety chains. I was f-cking standing on the gas pedal wondering why it wouldn’t accelerate. The sight in my rear [...]
Last week I finished writing the addresses on our Save-the-Dates. But unbeknownst to my future bride, I left them in the car for a few days under an old McDonald’s bag. After eventually finding my way to the post office and unearthing them from the greasy rubble, I discovered that a few opened ketchup packets had stained [...]
Her family is arguing about religion. As I am not catholic, I’ve always been considered a heathen. True enough. But I know the seventh commandment. Thou shall not steal. And I tell them, which makes them all look really lame. Instead, they choose not to believe me. We are playing monopoly and her maid of [...]
Life is full of choices. Did you make the right one?
Memo to guys who recently got engaged this winter: Go to church, drop to your knees and thank God that the NFL labor dispute was resolved! As we reflect on a season that saw a 9-7 team ruin Tom Brady’s quest for a fourth Super Bowl ring, we need to remember a scarier time when we once [...]

It’s a good thing the sagacious scribes at wedache.com are allowed to pen their work under the cloak of anonymity. Some of these posts would bring great embarrassment to our communities and shame our fathers into witness protection. With this noted, it’s with great ignominy that I make a painful admission: I was raped by [...]
Contestants at Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest annually cram 50-plus franks down their throats as they strive to win the bejeweled Mustard Belt. They work feverishly like lumberjacks feeding a wood-chipper. Through it all, they somehow manage to keep each link down without emitting more than a modest belch. Grooms at the altar are a [...]
On one of our first dates, she tells me that she thinks it is her right to have an affair—you know—if she wants to. And it wouldn’t really be any of her husband’s business. It may have been the same date when she asked me how many people I have slept with. What the hell, [...]
