I love it when charity donations are requested as wedding gifts.
The bride who wants to recoup her losses needs to be smacked.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
It's beyond tacky, and the answers crack me up.So beyond tacky. It would need a passport to find tacky.
Wow.

Punishingly Intricate
I once worked for a judge who performed weddings during weekday business hours.
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

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I think your gift is the sound system for the reception.

>Most of them talk about $10-14 dollar a plate weddings- So I guess their cheap gift is OK.
I think it's a social class thing- like they don't know any better.
This answer cracked me up. This woman apparently thinks it is high class to expect a lot of valuable gifts!

I would have loved to have written back my reply card with a bill for the dress I had to buy to attend the wedding and tell her she'll get her gift when she pays off my seamstress.
