Let’s first shame the guests.
Actually let’s first celebrate the bride and groom (kind of).
Paying for your own wedding is a bitch.
I said the tables chairs and 4 walls.
He immediately said “are you out of your mind?”
referring to how much work that entails.
I replied “its a little late now.”
At least that’s how I was raised.
But my God dude and average of $11 a person as a gift?
How are earth can these people sleep at night?
Where did they think they got married a Taco Bell?
$11 is essentially a slap in the face.
Especially if you knew the people broke their ass and paid for it themselves.
In an unrelated/ semi related note …
I think we need 50/50’s at weddings.
I suggested this on Healthy Debate and it turns out someone actually did it.
My rationale is that weddings are very interchangeable.
You remember the really good ones and the really bad ones ands the rest all just mesh together.
If you wanted to do something to stand out, a 50/50 is the way to go.
Can you imagine the conversations at the cubes the next week??
“How was Bill and Mary’s wedding?”
“It was awesome I won the 50/50”
Incredible.
People would be hooked.
What do you mean you won the 50/50?
Does anyone going to the next wedding need a plus one?
Everyone would be clamoring to attend the 50/50 wedding.
Forget getting excited about meat or fish, people want the action.
Now as the official chairman of the 50/50 at weddings I think there should be some rules and parameters.
A- it should be discreet.
It’s still a wedding.
There needs to be some decorum.
People walk up and quietly pay for their tickets.
No big production just straight business.
2- you’re able to’t give it back.
The thrill of this thing is someone wins.
you might’t just hand it back to the bride and groom.
D- Deciding where the other 50% goes.
Win win for everyone.
I may be crazy…but I think this thing can work.
The listener who tried it said it was awesome, so hopefully it’s just the beginning.
