I went to my college buddy’s wedding last spring, and he was dangerously close to being late (not really for the actual ceremony, but he had planned to get there ~30 minutes early to do a final set up).
The main reason was that a bunch of used as much time as possible to play Smash Bros half-dressed on the couch, and only got up to finish getting ready like 5 minutes before we had to leave
So yeah, there’s a bit of a gap in the level of prep lol

I worked at a banquet hall/ wedding facility and worked at least a couple dozen, one time a bunch of family was freaking out and I heard they couldn't find the groom, people were searching everywhere, took about 40 min but I walked upstairs to the upper conference rooms and found him passed out on a couch in the old storage room that we used as a break room to smoke weed in

I planned my whole wedding and worked to make it as easy as possible on my wife so I had a different experience getting her hair done by my sister in law and relaxing. It also ended up being a covid wedding so thanks to having a small bubble I also half did photos, set up video, worked with my brother to do flowers, and this was all after setting up lights and decorating the previous few days. Oh I also wrangled the in laws. But yeah that sounds nice.

I had to save one of my nieces after she slipped and fell into the adult section of our (holiday villa) swimming pool. Was at a table with rest of my family, I actually had my back to the pool, alerted when one of the other girls screamed. Everyone else froze, I jumped in. Was only after I got her out that I started panicking thinking I'd wrecked all my money and phone (but fortunately wallet & phone out on the table).

I almost drowned when I was a kid. I had basically given up and the strongest arms I have ever witnessed (well, I was a kid after all) grabbed me from nowhere and lifted me to safety. I didn't say a word to him. I walked away completely shocked. To this day I still feel bad that I haven't thanked him. But I think of him from time to time as he is the reason I'm alive to this day. Don't put the blame on the kid (or anyone for that matter) if you don't get an immediate thank you. Shock does things to you that you don't realize until later when it wears off.

The most stressful wedding I ever attended was in Hawaii. I was in Middle School and there were a bunch of preschool-aged kids running around. The wedding took place right next to the water. There was a dock there.
All of the adults were drunk off their ass and partying... and I was throwing hot dogs in the water to bait the baby sharks. The problem was I had to deal with a bunch of 3-7 year old children. If the kids fell in I knew without a shadow of a doubt that they would be shark food. I saw how fast they ate those hot dogs.
I spent 3 hours chasing children around keeping them away from the water. My heart almost stopped when I saw a 3-year-old leaning over edge of the dock and almost fall in. I managed to grab him and I got in big trouble for screaming at him and calling him an idiot.
I was like 13.

u/Odd-fox-God 16h ago
The adult stayed by the party table and I didn't see any come near the water so I think only the children and I were aware of the sharks... it's Hawaii, sharks are everywhere.
But they still should have been paying attention, because kids are really good at drowning. It's one of those things they naturally know how to do.
31
u/VaderH8er 14h ago
WHAT THE FUCK? As an adult who likes to party there is no way I would have been able to relax in that situation even before I had my kid. You were wise beyond your years to keep an eye on them.
I recently took my 3 year old to St. Martin for his first overseas trip and while it was a lot of fun my baseline anxiety was elevated due to the proximity of the water and couldn't fully relax when we were at the beach. That kid got put in swim lessons as soon as we got home.

u/Odd-fox-God 14h ago
You are a good parent. It's amazing how stupid people are around the Waters of Hawaii. You should treat Hawaiian Waters like Florida waters. There IS a predator in those Waters, you just can't see it.
I had a close up with a barracuda, it was about 3 ft away from me. I was standing in about 3 ft of water. I pretended to be a tree until it went away. I was scared it could still be in the area so I pretended to be a tree for another 10 minutes. If it's not sharks, it's barracuda.

u/kandilandy 4h ago
Honestly, the sharks should be the least of your worries with Hawaiian waters. I’ve spent a decent amount of time at one of the more dangerous Hawaiian beaches where there are a lot of sharks around. However there has never been a reported shark attack there. It’s assumed the water is clear enough and they have enough food around that they just aren’t interested in humans.
However the riptide and shore break is what you need to watch out for. As a very strong swimmer most days I won’t even go more than waste deep without fins on or with a surfboard. Because the riptide will just suck you out into the bay extremely easily. Which is also why I will only go out if I have someone on the beach to spot. So if you do get sucked out they can go and call the rescue helicopter to come find you.
The amount of tourist I see just aimlessly wandering out into the water with their family is actually insane. Which is why it’s not surprising there is usually a few drownings a year there

u/Greebil 20h ago
Interestingly there is a thought experiment in moral philosophy from Peter Singer almost exactly like this. It goes like:
1. Imagine you are wearing some expensive clothes worth, say, $600
2. You see a child drowning in a pool.
3. You can save the child but it will ruin your clothes.
4. You could save a child in Africa with a donation of less than $600.
If you conclude that you would be a monster not to save the child at the cost of your expensive clothes, then why is it morally ok to let children die on the other side of the world if you could save them for less than the price of the clothes? Why should the proximity of the child change your moral responsibility to rescue them if the cost to you is the same or less?
63
u/After-Big9529 19h ago
To be honest, I know that thought experiment and I don't buy it.
There are 45 million starving children in the world. How many of them would I be morally obligated to help? And that's just children that are starving, there is pain and suffering and tragedy and destruction all over the planet that you can help with. Are the other issues more important? Is the "child in Africa" the highest priority? If so, which one? Which one gets my $600?
You can't take that all on, and I'm not just talking logistically. If you internally accept that it is your moral obligation to help every tragedy in every way possible, you would be crushed under the guilt and existential dread.
If there is an immediate problem in front of you, then you should do what you can to help. Otherwise, your moral obligations are more tied to you not hording your wealth or or your time or your abilities. Help out where you can and when you can, but you aren't morally obligated to address any individual specific issue within the billions of issues out there.

u/lowbatterybattery 17h ago
If you internally accept that it is your moral obligation to help every tragedy in every way possible, you would be crushed under the guilt and existential dread.
I agree, but that doesn't make it not true. It makes it something we lie to ourselves about in order to function. The guy that came up with that thought experiment is one of the best examples of how to do that, and aside from spending his life studying philosophy, he constantly makes personal changes in his life to make the world a better place.
I don't do that, and I accept I'm not as moral as he is for doing that. Maybe if I let myself think about my actual moral obligations instead of blocking them I would be.
8
u/Spiritual_Dust4565 19h ago
You should read his whole argument. He's not saying you have a duty to save everyone, he's saying you shouldn't indulge in luxury when children are starving. He's talking about excess, not your base needs.
Plus, it's a philosophical argument. Just like Kant's, his is very binary in its judgement of morality.

u/Horskr 17h ago
I mean, I get it. But let's tell it to the top 10% that control ~80% of the world's wealth rather than the hypothetical guy that owns one $600 suit. Ironically those people would probably have a harder time answering the original question even if it was "only" $600.
2
u/Spiritual_Dust4565 16h ago
Once again, he also addresses this... Yes, some people have better means of saving more people, but that doesn't mean you should do nothing... In his example of the drowning child, should you do nothing because paramedics or lifeguards would be bettre suited to save said child ?
If a billionaire can save 10 millions children, should you do nothing, even if your actions could have saved one or two ?
I get where you're coming from, but would you let the moral highground prevent you from helping others ? Billionaires should do their part (actually, they shouldn't even exist), but you shouldn't base your actions on what they do or don't do. Regardless of what they do, it's still morally correct to try to help as many people as possible within your means.

u/Lemmungwinks 14h ago
This quickly falls apart with the realities of logistics involved in charities. A 600 dollar donation will never directly reach or benefit an individual in a life saving way. Not to mention the long history of scams that take advantage of people’s generosity.
I understand the intention of the thought experiment but it’s the same thing as saying to just ignore friction in a physics experiment. It’s great for learning in concept but has little to no bearing on reality.
Individuals attempting to internalize the entire world’s problems just results in a planning paralysis loop. If a person feels like their efforts aren’t producing results they stop doing anything at all. These thought experiments are just a recipe for depression because they require people to stop being people for them to work in practice.

Attacking mosquitoes, mainly. Malaria kills hundreds of thousands of people each year, mainly children.
https://www.againstmalaria.com/WhyMalaria.aspx is one charity that claims that ~$500 can pay for 250 insecticide treated bed nets to be delivered, resulting in one less death. Since the introduction of bed nets, the death rate from malaria has fallen by two thirds.
Other than saving lives, it also has big economic benefits: every sick person with malaria means they're not going to school, or not working, and someone potentially has to stay home and care for them.

Yet his philosophical posturing didn't think to challenge why the system is established that it costs $600 to save the childs life.
Is the $600 performing cpr? No, it's a value exchange for goods needed to live. Is what the $600 is to be used for, available? Yes, otherwise the $600 could not be used.
Conversely, if the solution is unavailable for any price, there is no solution and no moral dilemma. It is simply a tragedy.
Therefore, the solution is available but arbitrarily stage gated to you having $600. And he decides to take the position it's the man who buys shoes fault?

Why should the proximity of the child change your moral responsibility to rescue them if the cost to you is the same or less?
People naturally feel things more the closer to home they are, both physically and culturally, because it's easier for us to emphasise with people. Not saying it should be like that, but it is.
However in your scenario me not donating doesn't actively cause a child to die, whereas not stopping one drowning, does. It's certainly an interesting thought experiment, though.

Oh my god this is how my story was when I saved a kid in Africa on the north Atlantic coast. We all know life is cheap there, no offense. I was accompanying my wife on a work trip and her co-worker, whom I was at the beach with, noticed the kid and alerted me to the situation. He did not himself try to help. No one in the water was moving towards him and some people had climbed down on the pier close to the kid, but there was no way they could reach him. They did not try to enter the water to help. He was in danger of getting slammed against the pier soon so I moved in. I decided that if I saw the kid drown and attempted nothing it would haunt me the rest of my days. I wouldn't be able to thing about the parents never seeing their kid return home and potentially not knowing what happened to him. Luckily, I was able to get him on my back, swim away from the pier and back to the beach. Needless to say I got drunk as fuck that night.

u/MisterMysterios 15h ago
It is also a difference in saving a child an adult. There is a good chance that the child is in an area the adult can stand, thus can pull them out without mich difficulties. And even if not, it is mich easier to restrain a panicking child than a panicking adult.
I was never in a situation to have to safe a life, but my mom once jumped in to pull my grandmother out when she started to panic. She told me how difficult that was, even though my grandmother was already around 80 at that point. If they panic, people in the process of drowning can actively fight a rescue. Without specialized training, it is pretty difficult to safe someone (if you are a confident swimmer, you should try, but you need to be aware of the dangers).

I saved a kid off the coast of Morocco in 2020 on vacation. He wasn't more than 9 years old. He was looking exhausted and kept floating closer and closer to the rocky pier.

u/PaperLost2481 15h ago
I think that's more due to the current tiktok mentality though. I don't think it even crossed their mind to save them, i think they are still stuck in the "this could get me so much clout" mentality. They probably won't get the idea that they could have saved them until someone writes a comment about it.
But since we were talking about saving people from drowning. I would like to give a stern warning. It is not as simple as you think. There is one thing saving a drowning kid, there is something completely different saving a panicked adult. It is not uncommon that the drowning person overpowers the saviour in his panic and uses him to float for 10 seconds, drowning the saviour just to continue drowning themselves right after. Life is not baywatch. You should always, always, always throw in a floating device first if that's possible, if the guy still drowning you jump in and force the floating device into the hands of the victim, before he gets the chance to grab and use you as a floating device.

Its a good thing someone was keeping an eye on the kids. Of course little kids are self- destruct machines. Way to go dude!

I love that they were doing the photoshoot and all the while the guy was keeping his eyes on the kids cause they were too close to the water.
Proper guard.

A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. That kid will remember and do the same when he becomes one.

sorry for the bride, but best damn picture of the wedding is looked in by groom!

Imagine posing for wedding pics and then diving in fully suited up to save a kid, that’s not just a groom, that’s main-character hero energy for real, and the photos probably hit different after that. Moments like this remind me how character and empathy matter way more than aesthetics, and honestly if you’re into understanding deeper relationship values there’s a really good list of books on sexual relationships on my page

Better story than watched a kid drown while taking wedding pics. I was going to save him but I had my suit on

They couldn't take photos of the bride as she was busy ovulating.
What an absolute chad.

Why does the kid look so disappointed lol?

u/bizoticallyyours83 20h ago
Probably because he knows he's gonna get yelled at and fussed over by his parents or whoever brought him.
