Save Your Receipt

A friend of mine tells me she has all these weddings to attend this year. Marriage is great and all, but it is also costly. Not just for the bride and groom, but for the attendees as well.

Since my friend doesnt live in the same hometown where majority of her friends do. It causes her not only to fly to the wedding destination, but also the hotel room, and let us not forget "the gift." All this racks up to a very highly cost.

My thinking is, weddings are fine and dandy. Besides the absolute bore at the church, and the equally boring reception, it is a special occasion for these 2 people who are so in love that they have to profess it in public. And for alot of money. But lets think about this some more. The divorce ratio has skyrocketed in america. There's a higher chance of you getting divorced than getting into a car accident twice. So, my main concern isnt for these two doomed lovebirds. but more for us, the innocent witnesses and our pocketbooks that have to be objected to all this.

So here's my theory, i think if you decide to get married, make sure its going to be til death do you part. And if you do get a divorce, refund all your guests.

Yes i said it. I think if a couple splits, it should be their obligation to refund every one of their guests' expenses in partaking in their wedding that now no longer exists!
