Marriage is an overrated, outdated, religious buffoonery.

It sounds like a fantastic financial device to benefit from if you do it properly.  Seems to work for those who marry "up".

It's pretty good if you're Chinese and have well off friends, family, and family-friends since the guests give you envelopes with cash.

My sister's wedding was a week-long Romneytacular in Nantucket that cost more than some peoples' yearly salaries.  I ate lobster every day. 

I would want my wedding--were I to leave my senses long enough--to be schmaltzy and corny Vegas-style, performed by an jumpsuited and caped Elvis impersonator at 3am with $20 worth of complimentary casino chips and a free coupon for our "Hunka Hunka Burnin' Brunch!" Special.  But I don't think this is 1971 anymore.

Although it was always nice to be posting the occasional appeal bail in a circuit court somewhere, and chance upon somebody getting married right there at the counter in the clerk's office.  Usually senior citizens, but not always.  That was always kind of sweet.

My sister's wedding was a trip to the courthouse.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I thought you'd appreciate me providing anecdotes to support your thesis :)

Scratch lottery tickets are better.

Has the element of mystery. :P

I spent most of the money on the reception. Open Bar, buffet, bad banquet hall, etc. etc.

Really? I'll have to try that.  Those things are like free.  They are all over the parking lot at the gas station.

Come to think of it, every wet wedding I've been to has had an open bar.
I didn't have an open bar. :ph34r:

Reason why I didn't was because so many of the guests were TEH BAPTISTS, who wouldn't have taken advantage of it anyway.

I went to a wedding where they gave those out.  It seemed like a ridiculously cheesy idea to me.
