  depends on how strict the inviting party is...usually after the 100-day mark is ok; CNY - skip 1 CNY

  earliest for him is next year i think...to avoid his sis' event this year

  and fatum...if you're planning on attending fudge's do...your wedding has to be one month after that. some rule about you can't attend another wedding +/- 1 month from yours. same goes to you fudge, if you believe it.

  you shoulda seen the wedding dinner of one of the guys  

  we all knocked off work early to go to Brewerkz to get a few drinks first... "knocked off early" = 3pm...

  it was sanctioned by the boss then who followed us...

  we were blitzed by the time it was 6pm after many rounds of beers...

  we then staggered to the hotel where the drinking continued... until about 8:45pm

  before the actual dinner started, the boss was already talking really loudly and sporadically breaking into song  

  so.. there.. a late start to a wedding dinner is not good at all
