Man uses Craigslist to find 4th groomsman

By Lauren Elkies

An extra pair of 20-sided die cuff links prompted Seattle groom-to-be and self-described "gaming nerd" Emil Rodriguez (pictured with his fiance) to hunt for a fourth groomsman on Craigslist.

Originally, Rodriguez, 27, propositioned the three groomsmen he wanted, "but then I noticed that my fiance had made an extra pair of cuff links in
case I wanted a fourth groomsmen, which is what started me down the road of writing the [Craigslist] post," Rodriguez said over e-mail. His fiance Kirsten Rogers, 28, who works for a local non-profit organization, only has three bridesmaids.

Should Rodriguez find the groomsman of his dreams, he said, "we might have to find her another bridesmaid... maybe another Craigslist post."

Tying the knot Sept. 10, Rodriguez, who works in public relations, says in his pitch (see after the jump): "I'm in need of a few good men. If you're looking for a free meal, a chance to hit on emotionally charged members of both sexes, and a potentially endless supply of booze, then look no further."
