It is a close friend and I'm a groomsman, so I have to be involved in all the extraneous bullshit surrounding it too which is really my issue. I love them both but it's just so much work and money for no reason.
That sucks, but if it's your closed ones and peeps you love, then bear with it, its their special day so we remain patient with all the bs of that.
I gone through that twice as the one in charge for organising things from grooms side. One time it was smooth and one time super chaotic lol Family they marry into matter so much for the organising lol

It is bro. This was at the President Nixon library. We got there at 2 PM and the function started at 7 PM. We had to order food for the whole family while waiting etc etc.
My uncle owns a pretty large engineering corporation and auntie does the pay roll. You should see her when she has to do the payroll. She drives everyone nuts and the whole house is at the edge.
For domestic flights, she has to be at the airport 4 hours prior to departure.
For the airport part she is right, that's smart, so much can go wrong so I'm usually there 3 hours before departure on international flights.
But for everything else she seems insanely OCD. No way I would agreed to being at a venue 5 hours before it starts.
