My younger brother married a real dweb at age 40. I did not want to go and it was a big event - even printed his picture in the paper, etc.
I sent a gift and that was it.
My brother was pissed cause my mother (who is now dead) didn't want to go either being she didn't approve of the marriage either. So, she didn't go and she got sick and died a few months later of cancer!
My brother is still angry. He believes that she should have shelled out all these bucks for this crock o' shyte.
When I got married the cost was $40.00 in Carson City, Nevada. No one had a party or anything for us and frankly I really don't care being that wasn't the idea behind getting married.
It a game to bring in money I am convinced.
I don't blame you for not buying into it. I never did and never will.
If you go you are being a hypocrite. That is what it came down to for me. So, I did not go and I have no regrets.
The "happily" married couple are up to their arses in debt now with a new McMansion and two lousy jobs living in the Bay Area of San Francisco. What a big joke. I wonder how they are liking having to pay $75 a pop to fill up one of their big SUVs?
