2nd couple are getting a donation in their name to a local charity (as requested).
Yes, if this is an option, I always take it.
(ETA: regardless of surliness levels)
I'm supposed to deliver you to the Master now. There's this whole deal where I get to be immortal. Are you cool with that?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
If they drink champagne, get them a bottle of good champagne (Veuve Cliquot, Moet White Star, Piper), and write a note telling them to keep it to open on their first anniversary.I always like the wine or champagne option. Unless it actually is a new couple starting out, they've got too much stuff already.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Savings bonds are redeemable long before they reach face value.
who gets married on a Monday night?
I once worked for a judge who performed weddings during weekday business hours.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I love it when charity donations are requested as wedding gifts.
The bride who wants to recoup her losses needs to be smacked.

oh, also, no matter how surly I am, I *do* gift for weddings. (OK, there was one that I didn't and I'm trying to work out how to deal with that as I have no info on the bride and groom and my attempts to get their address have failed).
I just have an aversion to giving/getting More Stuff and did I mention I'm a cranky asshole?

It's beyond tacky, and the answers crack me up.So beyond tacky. It would need a passport to find tacky.
Wow.

Oh, of course, people get married all the time! I was just a little surprised to hear about having a wedding (big enough that it has a dedicated sound system dude) on a Monday night.
It makes sense in that it's probably less expensive and won't, say, conflict with other people's weddings, though.

I love that she thinks that the guests are supposed to pay for the wedding. I know that weddings are expensive, but unless she's inviting 200 people, 35K is ridiculous.

Right? Like the guests are going to a theme park or somthing, and have to pay admission.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
35K is ridiculous
