      …i think we paid $500 all-in, including the minister, the gazebo, and taking the wedding party to lunch afterward…

        Uncle married us, at my aunt’s house(nice spot) and my dad paid for lunch after. Only mistake I made was I didn’t know my mom was out of town so she wasn’t there 🤣. But my wife gave her a grandchild so that’s water under the bridge now. Wife’s dress was like $35 from Francesca’s and I wore a suit I already had. Her engagement ring on the other hand was like $8k. My wending band $30 and a possible future ring finger degloved because it’s titanium.

          Isn’t there something that says rich weddings lead to quick divorces?

          No better way to be sure that your partner is frugal and not in it for the money than a cheap wedding. Your interests have to be aligned or it never works.

            I think we are going to one day just see a return to the medieval European wedding. Basically used to be you didn’t need a priest or an occasion… You just made your vows ideally in front of witnesses who could back you up that it actually happened.

            Common advice to young women was not to get married in taverns because a raucous party where everyone got too drunk to remember what exactly was said and done could leave you with essentially a one night stand where everyone could just deny the groom actually made vows. This is the situation that eventually lead to marriages being registered by a church official and eventually making marriages an institution of the church.

            Given how things are going with folks basically just telling the tax man when they are married under common law we are not super far off.

      I think the sign is designed to make it easy to change “Greg” to someone else and reuse.

          As an American, my Brit friend took me to Gregg’s. Told me that if I want to try actual British food, that’s about par for the course. Those sausage rolls are cheap af, but taste pretty damn good. I will never understand your infatuation with flavorless Heinze beans though.

    Run, Greg, Run!

    I don’t know what she brings to the party, but this is likely one of many red flags she’s been waving. Just because you go through with the wedding doesn’t mean the flags vanish.

    Edit: just noticed the date on the sign. RIP, Greg. Good luck to you.

              In order for them to defile it the concept has to still exist.

        It’s a red flag of Greg doesn’t like it. Could have been a red flag if Lauren wasn’t sure how Greg would react to it when she showed it to him (mostly dependent on how she would react if he didn’t like it). Same if any of the above happened with roles reversed.

        But yeah, odds are Greg and Lauren both find it funny.

        It can be a joke they both find funny and also a red flag. What are we joking about here… how controlling someone is about the wedding?

        It can also be absolutely not a red flag.

        The joy of the internet includes pontificating.

        I also think it would be a funny way of directing the bride’s guests and the groom’s guests. The bride’s will be directed to “Laura’s Wedding, Featuring Greg,” and the groom’s to “Greg’s Wedding, Featuring Laura.”

        How do you know Greg didn’t make the joke? Do you now Greg and Lauren? Did you give them a gift off their registry or did you do the right thing and give them cold hard cash (via check)? Did you tip the bartender a 20 to start the night and say “remember this face!” and proceed to order thirteen G&Ts over the course of the ceremony?

    Get out, Greg. It’s not too late, Greg. I know that the wedding already happened, but divorce exists for a reason, Greg. Respect yourself because she never will, Greg.
