Wedding Week! (Part III: Freeloaders!)

Have you seen Wedding Crashers? If not, add that to your NetFlix list right now! We all know that there are those people who love to go to weddings - you get to dress up, dance around, eat what is usually an amazing meal, and all you have to do is tell the couple how happy and beautiful the world is with their love in it. Oh, and the booze is usually free flowing.

However, crashing weddings for the good times is tacky. What's even worse is asking the bride and groom to essentially provide a party for your friends.

At the recently attended wedding, the combined five children of the happy couple are all twenty-somethings. Two each invited a date and a family friend. Classy - we're sharing in the day, celebrating, dancing... and genuinely want to be part of the day. The other three... well, let's just say they had a combined TWENTY something guests of their own. This means that the happy couple shelved out AT MINIMUM nearly fifteen hundred dollars for their kids' friends to party.

Asking your parents to throw you a party on their big day? Tacky.

  1. Its like a sub party was created within the wedding party to accomodate a new party with unrelated partygoers. Cra zay.
