Seriously typical for our area....huge families, tight nit communities and churches..MACLANDThat is a HUGE wedding! Wow!
You'd be shocked at how little it cost...typical chicken, roast beef, mash tators, noodles, cole slaw....cake......That is a HUGE wedding! Wow!
Back to your old ways? Someone brings up a point you apparently hadn't considered so they must have ulterior motives for contradicting you? It's not naivete being displayed. It's knowledge of the game. You just spent several posts declaring the horridity of this messaging and now you fall back on "most people dont care?"
Well, that's what I said. They won't lose those customers but potentially will gain those that want to see that messaging.
It may be ineffective but if your own logic is correct, then it will work. As I said, if it doesn't, they'll be looking for new contracts. But their job is to get it right so I'm thinking they may know what they're doing. It's not just a matter of sending the message. It's the possible repercussions if you're the one NOT sending the messaging. THAT's the reality we're living in.
People still saying the year as "Two-thousand-twenty". It's "Twenty-twenty". Next year is "Twenty-twenty-one".
One hundred years ago it was not "One-thousand-nine-hundred-and-twenty".
On the issue of commercials, I find that the majority of them feature a black man and a white woman, usually a blonde. Talk about stereotypes.
What if it is a nearly normal top half on a Lizzo butt and thighs ? That is obviously what he meant....I cannot stand that we have normalized comparing people who are just a little fat to people like Lizzo who are clearly extremely unhealthy. Morbid obesity is not something to celebrate.
Insta-snap-per has made li'l posers of them all. Silly.I find all of these Prom-posals (homecoming too) to be very annoying. Especially the kids who are already dating. When we were in school if you had a girlfriend at homecoming or prom time it was just assumed you were going together, no need for a big production. I tell my recently graduated daughter that they are setting themselves up for disappointment when it comes time for real, meaningful proposals.
Me too but I'm the father of the groom...easy peasy. lol
two more words: taffy pocketsTwo words to cut down attendance: cash bar
An average marriage would probably get greater benefit from spending on the honeymoon than on the wedding and reception.I wonder if anyone has done a survey on whether these wedding extraganzas lead to a marriage that lasts more than five years. Sonny's in The Godfather did not even make it to one (of course there were extenuating cicumstances.)
This is a weird one for me, because I can hardly be described as a fashion-conscious person. But since when do brown shoes go with blue suits? For centuries, it seems, those dictating such trends have always decried that as an ultimate fashion faux pas. Now, all of a sudden, it's OK? I still thinks it looks like hell even though I was forced to wear exactly that at my son's wedding recently.
When I say open bar...wasn't truly an open bar. Had couple well drinks (7 Seven....asscrackers) and 5 or 6 different canned beers...That is a HUGE wedding! Wow!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!An average marriage would probably get greater benefit from spending on the honeymoon than on the wedding and reception.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Which state do you make the booze run to in the van from NWO ?
Agree! We didnt do that.Or an anniversary vaca before the first kid!!!
I can't agree more. Dress now adays is horrible. No respect.This is part of an over all move to casual dress in the 2000s. It all started with casual Fridays in the late '90s when you could wear denim to an office on that one day, now you go to a gig economy company and my frat house in the '80s dressed more sophisticated than these folks. I had a business meeting at Amazon a couple years ago where the Sr. level Manager wore a T-Shirt with a huge pot leaf on it and shorts to an important meeting; my collogue who was meeting with him for the 1st time almost sheet in his pants. It was also an unwritten rule that you suited up for a wedding and a funeral, I was at a recent pre-covid funeral where a 20 something girl was waiting in a viewing line wearing a pastel colored romper. Some older guy went over and gave her a hard time and she went on about shaming and then left, while there was not a big deal made when it went down many went to said older dude after going through the line and thanked him.
