So glad this won't happen to me... Mastercard Wedding
You got to love this guy...
This is a true story about a recent
wedding that took place at
Clemson University .
It was in the local newspaper and even
Jay Leno mentioned it.
It was a huge wedding with about 300 guests.
After the wedding, at the reception, the groom got up on stage
with a microphone to talk to the crowd.
He said he wanted to thank
everyone for coming, many from
long distances, to support them
at their wedding.
He especially wanted to thank the bride's and his family
and to thank his new father-in-law for providing such a lavish reception.
As a token of his deep appreciation
he said he wanted to give everyone
a special gift just from him.
So taped to the bottom of
everyone's chair, including the wedding party was an envelope.
He said this was his gift to
everyone, and asked them to
open their envelope.
Inside each manila envelope was an 8x10 glossy
of his bride having sex with the best man.
The groom had gotten suspicious
of them weeks earlier and had
hired a private detective to tail
them.
After just standing there, just watching the guests' reactions
for a couple of minutes, he
turned to the best man and
said, 'F---you!' Then he turned
to his bride and said, 'F--- you!'
Then he turned to the
dumbfounded crowd and said,
'I'm outta here.'
He had the marriage annulled
first thing in the morning.
While most people would have canceled the wedding
immediately after finding out
about the affair, this
guy goes through with the
charade, as if nothing were wrong.
His revenge--making the bride's parents pay over $32,000 for a
300-guest wedding and reception, and best of all, trashing the
bride's and best man's reputations
in front of 300 friends and family members.
This guy has balls the size of church bells.
Do you think we might get a MasterCard 'priceless'
commercial out of this?
Elegant wedding reception
for 300 family members and
friends: $32,000.
Wedding photographs commemorating the Occasion: $3,000
Deluxe two-week
honeymoon accommodations in
Maui : $8,500.
The look on everyone's face
when they see the 8x10 glossy
of the bride humping the best man: Priceless.
There are some things money
can't buy, for everything else
there's MASTERCARD

Entertaining story, but appears to be just that...

It does for 300 people! If you pay $75 per person for the reception, that's $22,500 right there! So $32,000 for 300 people is probably on the cheap side.

The wedding went fine, reception went fine. We stored the cake in the church's fridge afterwards, wanting to pick it up the next morning. Well, sometime in the interim, some diabetic lady needed some sort of sugar and ate my entire wedding cake by herself (it was a multi-layered monstrosity, I'm surprised the lady survived that episode).
She offered to pay $100, but my mother turned it down. I would have taken her money. I was already in Rome at this point.

When my dad hugged me once we walked down the aisle, he accidentally pulled my veil out of my hair ... my MoH picked it up and held it for the rest of the ceremony.
For the week prior to the wedding, I'd been getting sick with a cough. Don't get on an 8-hour plane ride with a cough ... after the plane ride back to Georgia, I'd manage to REALLY mess myself up. Sinuses, ears, throat ... it was nasty

I got sick the week before the wedding and went to the doctor and told him all of my symptoms and that I wanted to be better by the wedding. I walked out of there with an antibiotic, prednesone (steriod), and prescription cough syrup and I was fit as a fiddle by the wedding!

When my cousin, the groom, got married for the second time, the entire families of both sides flew into the Mid Atlantic for the wedding. Everyone from out of town was invited to the rehearsal dinner (about 120 people). As we went through dinner, people from both sides got to know each other better.
Unfortunately, the best man was another cousin who is a very talented surgeon, but always at a loss for words (unless he is talking about curing prostate cancer). So, my aunt decided to make the toast. Blah, blah, blah, blah and blissful marriage to Greg and Marie. Marie was Greg's ex-wife.
All of us held our breath at that point. But Greg's new wife, Cathy, was as graceful as always. She smiled and gave a big kiss to my aunt. Lucky for all of us, the marriage is still strong 15 years later.

I just remembered something that happened when my oldest got married. Some of her best friends from camp (she was a counselor for years) were late. Turns out that they'd been trying to find their way through Alabama and made a wrong turn and ended up in a small town Christmas parade! All they could do was play it off and wave left and right at all the cheering kids lining the road.
