Planning weddings is such a drag. Not that I would know from personal experience, but I’ve heard the sentiment related by more than a few who do. One of the biggest hassles is sorting out the invitations; deciding who gets to come and who does not. Weddings are events, I imagine, that everybody wants to be a part of. Not only to witness the nuptials, but also to indulge in the free booze, food and live entertainment. There’s also the opportunity to mingle with other single young people and, of course, drink booze.
I’ve been snubbed on a wedding invite, and it stung for a bit, until I remembered what weddings are like. People actually refer to farmer’s almanacs to make sure they land these things on the nicest weekends of the year.
How selfish!
I also recognize that weddings are expensive, and with each invite comes added cost. Especially in economic times like this, it makes sense to trim your wedding guest list to a select group of folks who might, I don’t know, appreciate the ceremony more than the open bar.
For some, though, the shame of being dissed during wedding season is too much to bear. Take for example a family from Bourne, who despite not being invited to a family wedding, was still gracious enough to send a present.
