Barstool Fam,
So I’m a Boston guy, born and raised. So too is my fiancé – cassie. Cassie and I met on July 5, 2012 on Nantucket. The July 4th night prior entailed a bit of “debauchery” including a surprise 2:00 am trip to the Nantucket Police Station. The next day, our whole family (still in sour moods) wound up parking it on Surfside Beach. After a few hours, tensions had mellowed enough for my uncle to throw back a few bud latte’s and dared me to talk to the ‘2 cute girls’ who sat down next to us. With the ultimate challenge line “You won’t”, I stood up, walked over and introduced myself to my future fiancé (Thanks again, Leo).
Turns out, we not only grew up in the same small town (Weston, Massachusetts), but we lived on the same street (Boston Post Road) our whole lives — 10 houses away from one another — and never knew it until right then. Obviously, her friend didn’t believe this ’too coincidental to be true, even though it was’ storyline I was throwing at them. But with a little wing-manning from my brother (the focal point of the night prior… and also my Best Man) I was able to talk my way into a second “off island” date. Two weeks after meeting, I called and asked her to a Red Sox game. She drove five hours back from PA for the game – I knew she was a keeper right then and there. Two years ago I dragged her out of NYC where she worked writing and editing stories for magazines (men’s health, shape, conde nast traveler etc…) and now we live in Fenway, a stones throw from where we had our first date.

So, major kicker – her father is ex I-team reporter Joe Shortsleeve. Before I meet him he ‘discovers’ every parking ticket, thrown party, and ‘legal infraction’ on my record. Stoolies might remember him as Needham girls soccer hazing reporter (http://boston.barstoolsports.com/2010/11/page/32/). Pres’ opening line was “Joe shortsleeve doesn’t fuck around, huh”. I can verify that – No he certainly does not… particularly when it comes to his daughter. So clearly, I’m going to have to clean it up the day of our wedding and attempt to look presentable enough to pass the ‘now part of the family’ litmus test. That will be quite the challenge given the cast of muppets that are my groomsman.
I was a ‘tolken American’ within my group of buddies in college. It was a tough task, but I converted them all into Sox, Pats and B’s fans. All of them great, standup gentleman, but since college the running joke is that they become the degenerate (insert vice here) version of themselves as soon as they touch down in America. Not ideal for talking to my future in-laws.
So the long and short is that we definitely need some professional help to get our act together. It’s going to be tough to getting them to this wedding in one piece, let alone coordinate gear while on 3 different continents. Please, help pimp my wedding.
