I've watched games, played games and coached many games... all with a chew in. As a PE teacher, high school football/wrestling coach, I've been around games all my life. At the tender age of 60, I still coach HS wrestling. As a ninja chewer, I'd be rated Special Forces. The only time I tried to quit chewing was 25 years ago. You see I loved to chew...hunt with it, fish with it... big time. Hell I've had a chew in mat side in the corner of a kid trying to win a PA State wrestling title... more than once. In 1989, I quit on Jan 1st cold turkey (where the hell was the internet when I needed it). All was well... fast forward to April 28th and the birth of my 2nd son and youngest of 3. The baby's born, sawbones tells me to get lost for a couple hours while they clean everyone up. I'm feeling fantastic. Stop at convience store for a cup of coffee and spy a skoal rack. Just one to celebrate "she" said. I'm in nic bitch --- inserted said rub and yuck--- this tastes like f...ing sand paper and burned like shit. I spit it out but didn't throw away the can. The next day I hit that f...ing can again and here we are 25 years later.
I found this site about 3 or 4 days into my quit, but being a computer moron, I couldn't grasp the whole concept. But I did read and read and read.. and it helped me thru those first 2 weeks.
Why did I decide to quit now? My 3 year old grandson kept asking me what's in your mouth Gramps? I want to see him grow up.
Old ES is currently at day 37 and that's a promise to my Sultan Bros.
If there's two things old ES knows, its
1. Cheaters never prosper
2. Nicci the bitch is flat chested
Look at her over there - are you putting on weight sweetie....So what it comes down to is, its game on sweetie, you buck tooth slut. Did I see you eating corn on the cob through a picket fence.. you ugly bitch.
I wish I had been posting from the start on here....but old ES plans to be around for #100. We are the Sultans.. love the song.
Quit on fellas,
ES

So proud to quit with you today! Good shit ES. We have each other's backs.

Fuckin' A coach, welcome! Too damn bad Bill Gates didn't get on this internet thing earlier! . I quit with you today. See you tomorrow for another.

Welcome ES. You are in the right place. Sounds like you've got a helluva good start on your quit. Use that hatred for that bucked-toothed cunt to fuel your quit. Just stay vigilant cause you've been around long enough to know that ugly bitches are like mopeds...their fun to ride until your friends see you on them. i.e. don't get caught with your pants down.

ES your intro struck a cord with me. My 6 year old grandson is and has been my shadow since he could walk and several times in the tractor he asked me what I was eating. He was actually what made me gain the desire and admit I couldn't quit alone. Our stories have so many similarities and we're about the same age. Remember how bad it sucks so you aren't tempted to repeat it. I'll quit with you every day.
-
Coach,
Our stories are so similar we could be twins. Right down to the day our second sons popped into this world! The fact you have been quit more than a month solo is a testament to your iron will. Folk like you will only add to the constitution of quit we got here in September. Welcome, and sorry I was such a suspicious gate-keeper when you first showed up!
-
Good stuff ES. Use this intro to track your quit; you'll want to come back and see how far you have come and remember you never want to be at day1 again. Sounds like you are drinking the KTC kool-aide. QLF with you all day.

Great stuff, ES...

ES... I also dug your intro,and I love that you made it through 30 days solo, but now you're here, and as a fellow Sultan, I say with pride that you never have to go it alone again! I'm glad you found us, and I'm proud to call you my brother. Quit on, Sultan!

Welcome, sir.
I have a question to anybody out there about the fake chew. I've read over and over about how this can help and I used one can of it the first week. My doctor told me that it didn't matter if it was chewing gum or a cherry seed...keeping it in the SAME POSITION is the real issue. The irritation in the same spot is bad news. Old ES may not be the sharpest tool in the tool box but that makes alot of sense to me. I'll stick with cold turkey...plus having to spit all the time WAS a pain in the ass. Now I'll just sit luggies and hock oysters like I did when I was 10 years old. Proud to be quit with all of you. "Take a suck", sweetie

I would tend to agree with your doctor.
The way the fake helps is for the oral fixation, as when using it there is none of the bad chemicals or the addictive substances that get into your system. So can use that as a replacement.
But yes the irritation will remain when using it, but for me after the 3 months I don't even use that anymore, and though maybe not healed 100% (due to being receeded), it is smooth as silk.

I didn't use any of the fake, but I can tell you this... I wasn't hooked on the oral fixation. I was hooked on nicotine. I'm still a nicotine addict. So are you. One little pinch is all that it would take to reignite the death dance.
Nicotine is a wicked monster. Completely under appreciated in terms of its addictive powers and damage not only to health, but to relationships, careers, integrity... The list goes on and on. I read your intro. You are an honorable man. Seem all american, a man that most boys would look up to. Would you sneak into a bathroom at work to snort a little coke? No... But you and I let an addiction rule our lives to the point that we stooped to that level a lot if times with nicotine. Shameful. Embarrassing. And disgraceful to us, much less those that look at us as leaders.
Today we are free! The ktc process is great. It works for quitting, but in the process you will discover a new you, and if you do this right (which you are) you'll make some new lifelong friends in the process. Some of the most honorable men (and women) that I've met have been from this site. And... I cannot imagine letting them, much less me, down. One of my first connections on this board is sportsfan from jan 13. His catch phrase... Stick around, make a friend. Sportsfan is a wise man.
Look at how many years you "lost". How many times you wanted to stop. And now you are quit! Losing sucks, and today you are winning at the thing in life that was a constant source of shame, disappointment, and failure. Plus you are saving a fortune and your life. How many wins is that?
You are really gonna like where you are headed. Yeah, there will be bumps ahead. In order to get big biceps and triceps, your arms are gonna burn a little? The pain makes the win even sweeter.
Quit with you today, ES.

Thanks worktowin - you've made some very valid points, which doesn't surprise me. Reading through some of your posts early in your quit really fired up my quit. I got a late start with the Sultan clan and have been trying to catch up. Proud to be quit with you.

I myself was not hooked on the oral fixation, but early in my quit triggers called for the fake to get me through a moment, or at least it did get me through moments. My Dentist shared that anything I put there was going to fuck up my gums, the balance I struck was gumlines could be fixed when I was done.
I still carry a can of fake with me just in case but that damn can hasn't been opened in over 6 months now. I could probably cut the tie but like still having a lifeline if I fall into a cave and are unable to post roll or send/receive text messages.

I'm going to be doing something next week that I've never, ever done with my wife and kids...go on our annual family vacation to the beach without the CAN. It's embarrassing to have to put that in writing but also very therapeutic... 34 years with the can wart on my butt. For you younger guys out there, don't be a meatstick like Old ES - stay quit and guard it like your life depends on it....because it does fellas. I got a feeling some triggers/craves are going to rear they're head next week, but a good coach always has a game plan. If the buck tooth bitch starts to sneak up behind me, I going to turn around and kick HER right in the SACK! "take a suck, sweetie"

enjoy your time, and make some new memories without the poison that we had lived with for so long.
that I think is one thing that gets us. we always remember that it was there, but we may forget the rest. Well make it know this time that the 'rest' is the important part. The family, the scenery, the times is what is important. Not what we have left behind.
well done and keep up the great work.

I remember a camping trip before we had kids, and I was FREAKING OUT because we were up in Canada, on this little island, and I hadn't packed enough. I made it four days with one measly can. I re-dipped that can all weekend.
This year, we took all three kids camping for the 4th of July, and I didn't think about dipping, not one freaking time. My wife and kids had 100% of my attention the entire time. We rented a kayak, swam in the ocean, played games. Had a great time.
You're going to love this vacation in so many ways ES - enjoy!

Enough stuff, you are a wrestling coach so you should know about grinding, grinding in practice, grinding on the mat, grinding through cutting weight etc. Quiting dip is nothing iof it is not a grind. So make your daily promise and be a man and live up to ity. It does not take someone strong to dip, it takes someone strong to quit. Good luck.

I got back from my first beach vacation without dip in a LONG time a couple weeks ago. (Maybe not as long as "Old ES, but it had been a while!) It was actually liberating not worrying about dip the whole time. I still swam with my little kids and I actually took naps while the kids were napping. I think we all know what we used to do while the kids were napping!
I remember saying to my mom a while back that I can't nap anymore. Looking back it was actually that I couldn't waste a potential quiet/alone moment napping when I could be stuffing my face with shit! Amazing how that works...

You'll probably be nervous leading up to the vacation. And it will probably be the best vacation of your life. You don't need nicotine to do anything, especially to enjoy your vacation! Freedom is sweet, brother.

enjoy your time, and make some new memories without the poison that we had lived with for so long.
that I think is one thing that gets us. we always remember that it was there, but we may forget the rest. Well make it know this time that the 'rest' is the important part. The family, the scenery, the times is what is important. Not what we have left behind.
well done and keep up the great work.
I remember a camping trip before we had kids, and I was FREAKING OUT because we were up in Canada, on this little island, and I hadn't packed enough. I made it four days with one measly can. I re-dipped that can all weekend.
This year, we took all three kids camping for the 4th of July, and I didn't think about dipping, not one freaking time. My wife and kids had 100% of my attention the entire time. We rented a kayak, swam in the ocean, played games. Had a great time.
You're going to love this vacation in so many ways ES - enjoy!
Enough stuff, you are a wrestling coach so you should know about grinding, grinding in practice, grinding on the mat, grinding through cutting weight etc. Quiting dip is nothing iof it is not a grind. So make your daily promise and be a man and live up to ity. It does not take someone strong to dip, it takes someone strong to quit. Good luck.
I got back from my first beach vacation without dip in a LONG time a couple weeks ago. (Maybe not as long as "Old ES, but it had been a while!) It was actually liberating not worrying about dip the whole time. I still swam with my little kids and I actually took naps while the kids were napping. I think we all know what we used to do while the kids were napping!
I remember saying to my mom a while back that I can't nap anymore. Looking back it was actually that I couldn't waste a potential quiet/alone moment napping when I could be stuffing my face with shit! Amazing how that works...
You'll probably be nervous leading up to the vacation. And it will probably be the best vacation of your life. You don't need nicotine to do anything, especially to enjoy your vacation! Freedom is sweet, brother.
ES, you have set your mind to be quit (finally), and you strike me as the kind of man that will get what you set your mind to get, and you have proven that you do not need the poison to get through today! You will have a great vacation without the poison!

I myself was not hooked on the oral fixation, but early in my quit triggers called for the fake to get me through a moment, or at least it did get me through moments. My Dentist shared that anything I put there was going to fuck up my gums, the balance I struck was gumlines could be fixed when I was done.
I still carry a can of fake with me just in case but that damn can hasn't been opened in over 6 months now. I could probably cut the tie but like still having a lifeline if I fall into a cave and are unable to post roll or send/receive text messages.

I'm going to be doing something next week that I've never, ever done with my wife and kids...go on our annual family vacation to the beach without the CAN. It's embarrassing to have to put that in writing but also very therapeutic... 34 years with the can wart on my butt. For you younger guys out there, don't be a meatstick like Old ES - stay quit and guard it like your life depends on it....because it does fellas. I got a feeling some triggers/craves are going to rear they're head next week, but a good coach always has a game plan.

"Brain Fart"
It's been 30 years since the last time I fished without a chew in. Last night I grabbed my fly rod and headed to my favorite bass pond. As I was exiting the truck I subconsciously reached for the console where I always kept the can. WTF...slap palm of hand to forehead and sat there giggling. I said to myself, you are a sneaky nic bitch, fat ass. I stuck in a tootsie pop and had one of the best nights fishing in my life.
If your not leading, your following-
QLF - Old ES
-
ES, your quit gets me fired up. Great example of how it's done.
-
Proud to be quit with you ES. Thanks for your honesty and perspective. I'm looking forward to hunting without the ugly whore bitch this fall.
-
Its amazing the reflexes that we had, it got to a point that we never even thought about it,
and now as we quit, we focus more on the thought, more on the information and how bad we treated our minds and bodies, and we remove that reflex for what we did.
I will stand beside you each and every day, any and every where that we may be.

Day 65 ( The 2nd Funk)
There's a relativity new move in scholastics wrestling called "the funk". I've read on here about a 2nd funk showing up in ones quit. I think I'm experiencing that right now. My quit is as solid as ever, but I'm finding my fuse is shorter and little things piss me off.
Take yesterday... some poor blind squirrel (Space Lord) stumbled into the Sultans page and got flamed. Claimed he had 60 days quit and in my honest opinion, was seeking helped. He definitely was out of line in his response to Spitstickler. I get that...but he's a fucked up addict like you and me with 60 days of quit ALONE! My advise to Space Lord is to join the Nov Jive Hive and start posting as if it's your DAY-1.
You and I know it's not...but in the long range of quit...it's just a number. Help lead those fellow jive turkeys addicts.
Another guy in the October or November group got his nuts handed to him for posting late in the day...yet had 100% participation. I got no dog in that fight, but I want to own my quit - - I don't need my hand held - - if I do I'll call or PM.
If there's one thing Old ES knows and I quote - - -
"It is only when you see a mosquito land on your testicles that you realize that there is always a way to solve problems without using violence" - - - Old ES
-
"It is only when you see a mosquito land on your testicles that you realize that there is always a way to solve problems without using violence" - - - Old ES
Shit! Thanks for the coffee spit on the screen! Classic! You keep doing you ES, it works ... for you and the others you reach out to. There's more than one way to own a quit and build accountability. I like yours ... quitting with you again today brother.
PS: old guys rule!
-
ES, short fuse is not so bad. You should pray you don't get the "I don't care about anything" funk; that one sucked bad. Sometimes it's a funk, and sometimes it's just life, but either way just keep quitting.

Not only that, they've been around long enough to be able to tell the difference between the important stuff and the rest of the "noise" which is all too prevalent in today's society.

"Whipped em again Josie. Whipped em again boy". I thought of that line from "The Outlaw Josie Wales" this morning when I slipped out to do some deer scouting and hang a trail cam or two. This was the first time I've done that without a chew in, in 3 decades. I thought about that as I drove to my destination, but after 3 hours in the woods, not once did I think of you nicci, you fat fuck. By the way, when was the last time you took a bath?...you smell like fish! Oh, let me answer that one fat ass - it was 67 days ago. You were up in my treestand last year, snuggled up in my front pocket next to my short curlys, like a dog curled up next to a warm fire - - not this year sweet cheeks! All and all it was a great morning - saw some great sign, hung a couple trail cams and stepped on a bees nest...all without you. So our game continues. Whipped her again Sultans. Whip her again boy!

Subject: DOUBT (The Thorn Within)
Did you ever say to yourself, "I doubt I could do that". I can't count the number of times I've slapped a wrestler in the face and told him, don't doubt yourself...go out there and kick this kids ass!
Yet, every time I entertained the thought of quitting dip the doubt card was in my head. Why wasn't I smart enough to hear MY OWN words...don't doubt yourself, leave frickin doubt on the bench and go out there and Beat that BITCH! Well, my quit and this site, KTC have enabled me to put a face to nicotine, and we all here know her...old horse teeth, nicci the bitch.
Old ES has learned a couple things in the last 78 days.
1. By keeping this quit at the forefront of my mind, it's leaving No Doubt as to who is winning the game between me and fat ass. Don't allow doubt to creep into your mind. I constantly have to remind my athletes, if you think your gonna loose, you probably will.
2. This quit brotherhood reminds me of pledging my college fraternity. There I am living in a frat house with 25 other testosterone raged appledomes....stumbling over, around and into on a daily basis...but creating lifelong frienships and huge bonds, much like here @ KTC...if only thru the screen...how cool.
So, stay quit my brothers and "Leave No Doubt" as to who is driving the bus.

Dip dream = X-ray
94 days into my quit and my 1st dip dream lands me in the doctors office getting my wrist x-rayed. I spent about 20 years coaching high school football (linebackers) and I dreamed the fellas were tackling like a bunch of panies. I dreamed I pulled out my can, stuffed my face and said "let me show you how it's done". The next thing I know I'm on the floor in the corner of the bedroom on the OPPOSITE side of the bed, having cleared of the night stand... the phone, pictures and some other shit were scattered about...WTF...it's a dam good thing Mrs. Enough hadn't come to bed yet or surely she would've been fuckin snow plowed under. X-ray results are due today-

Day 144
Spent all day yesterday at a pre-season wrestling event and knew the fat ass nic bitch was going to have her tongue in my ear. This was the first time in 34 years of coaching that there wasn't a can wart in my pocket. After coaching a few matches, I got that strong crave for a chew. I never used the fake stuff and wasn't about to start now. I stepped outside for some fresh air and reminded myself how far down the road of quit I've traveled, and the cravings subsided. I knew when I started this quit that the wrestling season was going to be my biggest challenge. With the tools I've learned over the last 4 months I'm ready to meet these triggers head-on and I'm sure there will be more "ifs" as I take each day one at a time.
If there's one thing Old ES knows...."if a frog had wings, he wouldn't thump his ass when he jumped."
Quit with all of you.

With the tools I've learned over the last 4 months I'm ready to meet these triggers head-on and I'm sure there will be more "ifs" as I take each day one at a time.
If there's one thing Old ES knows...."if a frog had wings, he wouldn't thump his ass when he jumped."
Quit with all of you.
Awesome Job, old ES. Proud to be a Sultan with you, especially when I hear about you kicking this addiction to the curb....repeatedly.

day 171 - - -Chanllege week!
Looking at the calander months back I realized that there was going to come a week that tested my commitment to my quit. The opening of BOTH the Pa buck season and the 1st official wrestling season tournament, both happening in the same week, were going to test my fortitude in this battle to beat my addiction. As you can see in my intro heading, I've declare war against the flat chested, buck tooth, two bit flozy and I'm happy to report the nic bitch has taken a fucking beating this week. Before you start harping on me about "don't get to sure of yourself ES...fuck you! I harvested a 6pt on Monday morning without any help from nicotine for the !st time in 30 some years and finished a wrestling dual meet tournament today with a 3-1 record without a second thought of the nic bitch. So there Nicci - - fuck you - - - you are losing this contest, fat ass.
And I'll quit with any Tom/Dick or James Gordon. QLF

Nice job, Ol' ES! I, for one, love the attitude that you've got going. Some would call it arrogance, haughty, or even cavalier... I simply call it confidence. Hell, they called Han Solo "arrogant" (and also a scruffy-looking nerf herder, but that's neither here nor there), and look what he did. he almost beat Obama in the last election... I think, right? You just do whatever you need to to stay quit, and don't let anybody tell you how your quit should be. I applaud you for having your goals and kicking the shit out of them. Love ya, brother. Stay quit!

Day 270 - Special week!!!
Had a pretty fantastic week. One of my wrestlers placed 8th in the Pa State werestling tournament last Saturday, then my daughter gave birth to my 1st granddaughter on Wednesday evening. We were over visting last evening along with my extended family and the new fathers extented family, when he offered everone a cigar. I said thanks, but no thanks, I've sworn off nicotine. Come on they said, who's gonna know, it's your 1st granddaughter. I said, I'm going to know and there is no way in hell I'm breaking my promise. This Sultan clan I'm linked to would nail my balls to a stump and push me over backwards if I smoked that dick stick. Screw you nic bitch...not today, not tomorrow. Proud to be quit with all of you.

Day 310
Frickin Nic Bitch - I knew being around all my fishing buddies last weekend was going to stir some triggers and cravings but the fat ass came at Old ES with a different card up her sleeve. Fishing season is the one time all year that I would break out my trusty pipe and use it as a defense mechanism against the bug population. Well I'm in the creek up to my waist casting a string of wet flies when she whispered, boy a nice smoke out here on the creek sure would hit the spot. Keep in mind I was a three decade chewer, not a pipe smoker. The little guy on my shoulder said, shut the fuck up Nicci, but she wouldn't let it go. For a good 5/10 minutes I stood there questioning my quit....and then I remembered this group and the commitment between us all. The craving passed and I returned to the business at hand and my peaceful surroundings. Had I not still been posting roll here EDD I'm not sure what the outcome may have been.....so fuck you nic bitch!
ps - the fish were biting
Old ES

Nice work ES! That's a perfect example of how this brotherhood works. Well done!

Just wanted to tell you, from one old dude to another....
You rock. I enjoy reading your adventure tales.....and they ALWAYS have a moral lesson at the end. I salute you and your quit.

Day 350 - the dentist
Yesterday morning found me flat on my back in the dreaded dentist's chair as he prepared to to fix a small cavity on both sides of my lower jaw. I've never been numbed on both sides at the same time before and I'm here to tell y'all, Old ES doesn't plan to have that done again anytime soon. After about 1 1/2 hours in the chair he finally sat me up and ask "how do you feel"? I looked that s.o.b. square in the eye, and with slobber running out both sides of my mouth responded, "the only thing that could of been WORST than the last 1 1/2 hours would of been if those two good looking dental assistants hovering over me would of been ugly." The old tooth chiseler was still laughing as I exited of office.

Day 376 - - the post 1 year mark - - - Alot of Sultans brothers talking about tapping out after a year-
I'm really not sure how long I'll stay active on the Sultans rolls, but I can tell you, it will NOT be until the end of time. The coach in me has always looked @ posting roll as sort of a "can't miss a practice challenge," but there has to come a time when you graduate from that. I'm still at 100% posting, but I gotta tell you, there has been times when I felt like missing on purpose to take that pressure off.
If I was sent to the Betty Ford clinic for substance abuse, I wouldn't expect to spend the rest of my life in the clinic. Hopefully. in a clinic setting, after 30/60 days I'm given the tools to deal with my issues and released to make my way through life. I look @ KTC thru the same lens. I see nothing wrong with someone coming back after drifing away, sort of like a graduate of the program, to touch base or say hello to folks who helped kick a nasty, fucking miserable addiction in their life to the curb. In the end, we've all quit for OURSELVES. If we've helped another addict along the way, great. Do what you gotta do....as they say here @ KTC, own your quit - - -just stay the HELL THE QUIT.
Post or no post... I am quit with the nic shit and the nic bitch fat ass can "take a suck"!

I guess all I can say is congrats on your year and I understand whether I agree or not really don't matter, but I will say your a grown ass man and if you can make I agree 100 percent and hats off to you as for me I have no idea right now I need all the accountability I can get! But I can tell it is getting somewhat better at least the craves are not as intense and often. Quit on brother!
-
All I have to say on the subject is this... After 100 the only people who fail are those who stop paying roll. I will post until my fingers fall off.
And Old ES, I'm proud to quit with you.

Day 100x4=400 days of freedom from the fat ass! Thank you KTC and all the supporters out there.

Day 425 The dreams return:
I posted this back around day 90 and thought I'd update my most recent one.
Dip dream = X-ray
94 days into my quit and my 1st dip dream lands me in the doctors office getting my wrist x-rayed. I spent about 20 years coaching high school football (linebackers) and I dreamed the fellas were tackling like a bunch of panies. I dreamed I pulled out my can, stuffed my face and said "let me show you how it's done". The next thing I know I'm on the floor in the corner of the bedroom on the OPPOSITE side of the bed, having cleared of the night stand... the phone, pictures and some other shit were scattered about...WTF...it's a dam good thing Mrs. Enough hadn't come to bed yet or surely she would've been fuckin snow plowed under. X-ray results are due today-
Well the other night I had a return of the Dream Weaver. Seems like there is always somebody chasing me or out to do me bodily harm in my dreams. Anyway, the chaser had all but caught up to me, so my only alterative was to turn and face him and try to fake him out. From flat on my back I did a 180 degree turn to my hands and knees, much like a cat, dropped from a garage roof, landing on its feet. I faked left, then right.....right into the back of the headboard. The swelling is now just starting to ease, but the black and blue mark remains. Old Es is gonna have to bounce this of sawbones next visit, before I do a swan dive out the window some night.

Day 469
I was sound asleep, flat on my back as my imaginary nemsis once again invaded dream world. As usual, he was out to do me bodily harm. As I raced across the landscape with him/it in hot pursuit, I came upon an old barn and was forced to take a stand. As I turned to face this evildoer, I KICKED @ him/it as hard as i could with both legs. Like a man shot from a cannon, I propelled myself completely out of the bed and came to a not so soft landing on the cotton-picken hardwood floor. Luckily, my head caught the top of the laundrey basket that was sitting beside the bed and somewhat cushioned my fall. With a bra draped over one shoulder and clothing scattered here and there, all I could think to myself was ...wtf! I gotta mentioned this to sawbones on my next visit-

Just a quick update about that trout opener in central Pa the other weekend. It was a sunsplashed couple days and the fish were biting. Caught some beautiful holdover and native trout. The one brownie was close to 18". I must have seen 30plus dips inserted that weekend and played the wind, keeping upstream from the chokers i.e. cancerstick crew. I'm happy to report it didn't phase me in the least. If anything, I felt sorry for those dumb sons-a-bitches. Had a lot of backslaps for my quit and plugged KTC. Can't wait to get back on the stream.

Thought I'd share this rare opportunity.
Schedule conflict-
A friend of mine has two tickets for the 2017 Super Bowl.
Box seats plus airfares and hotel accommodations, but he didn't realize when he bought them that this is going to be on the same day as his wedding - so he can't go.
if you're interested and want to go instead of him, it's at St. Peter's Church in New York city at 5pm. her name is Julie.
