Part of the judging process is how well they advertised for their company. I'm thinking we need to make an outstanding skydiving, something or other video to put up on Youtube for them. Any ideas of how to incorporate awesome skydiving and advertising for Crate&barrel in there?

They are totally ready to pay for it themselves. And able to. And will, if they don't win. However if they won $100,000 wedding I think that they can keep their own money for other uses. The wedding they were going to have wasn't going to cost that much. But it would be fun to win an extravagant wedding if you could, don't you think?!

warpedskydiver 0 #32 February 7, 2010 Pssst, he would rather just bash your kid than to think that maybe it would be a nice start for them and to wish them well. Some people are just that way, can't be nice to anyone but themselves. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What's wrong with wanting a more elaborate wedding than they can afford. Most people i know would gladly accept a prize of a bigger better version of something they were after.

I dare say even you, Nothing, I just got married less than a year ago, it was expensive even though we had a humble yet a classic wedding (minus jesus). Any further money would 'not' have been spent on the wedding, we had everything we wanted, and would have preferred to spend it more wisely. We paid in full ourselves and recieved much appreciated contributions later.

JohnMitchell 16 #36 February 7, 2010 Hi Rhys, Our wedding probably didn't cost $500. not including the rings. The reception was just a party for the skydivers. It was all we wanted or needed and it's lasted 26 years. Our daughter has much the same values as us, but entered this contest on the chance they might win. Neither are spoiled kids that need everything handed to them. They will be perfectly happy if they don't win. Congratulations on your marriage. I wish you two all the best.

popsjumper 2 #39 February 7, 2010 Why go through all this trouble? Just tell the kid that he has to BUY your daughter for $XXX.XX! Then throw in a pig or a chicken to sweeten the deal.My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

livendive 8 #46 March 5, 2010 Quote Read the title of the thread!What else does one take from such a statement? In some cultures, it's customary for the bride's family to finance some or all of her wedding. Such a tradition says absolutely nothing about the financial status of the betrothed, or the extravagance of the nuptials. In other words, you read something between the lines that wasn't there.

Ha, that's funny. I don't think JohnMitchell's girl would approve Incidentally, we had several New Yorkers attend me and Alain's commitment ceremony (unofficial) in the chapel of Royal Caribbean's Exploer of the Seas on our holiday cruise just a few weeks ago.
