AIBU - the ultimate in wedding gifts.....we know MN loves a good wedding thread!!

[holidaysarenice]

This made me laugh.
It starts off well, very funny.
The end is a little less believable tho.

The hamper sound delicious. They sound like entitled cunts.

[LazyMonkeyButler]

It really sounds like they only got married to receive money.

Terrible, grabby behaviour. I think the hamper sounds like a lovely gift & would have been terribly offended to receive that reaction to it!

[olidusUrsus]

Sounds like a fucking amazing gift. Hate the whole perceived 'etiquette' with weddings.

I think in America you have a doe & stag rather than a hen & stag, so because they are lesbians, they had a doe & doe.

[MackerelOfFact]

I would love a hamper! I think it's a lovely gift. The brides sound awful - scheming and entitled.

I don't think the guest comes off unscathed either though, to be honest - "you should just be happy your sham of a marriage is legal dude" is a bit of a shit thing to say.

[DesperatelySeekingSedatives]

The only acceptable response to receiving a gift from someone is "thank you very much". Even if you hate the gift you always say thank you.

The newly weds sound like rude grabby wankers.

[Lariflete]

That was hilarious! And I agree, the hamper sounds lovely and what a lovely message inside 'Life is delicious ... Enjoy!'
What a hideous couple the brides sounded though

[GoodbyeRubyTuesday]

I think the hamper sounds like a lovely gift. What a rude couple!

[ExitPursuedByABear]

Hilarious. Although I have to say that a hamper of food is a slightly off beat wedding present.

[WhenSheWasBadSheWasHopeful]

Weddings are to make money for the future.

Has anyone ever made a profit from a wedding? Dumbest thing I have heard in a long time

[flowery]

Goodness how rude of the bride and bride!

Doesn't matter whether the gift was 'acceptable' or not. Even if you do think a gift is awful, you don't say so. You accept graciously and have a moan behind doors if you feel you must.

[AudrinaAdare]

Oh that's a nice way of looking at it, thebody. I do like the Beckhams.

[ZenGardener]

I like the idea that weddings are to make money for the future.

It would explain some of the weddings I've read about on MN.

Not sure it is true though.

[thebody]

I think Victoria's dad was trying to say that the guests were the couples REAL friends and not just celebs.

He said it badly though I agree.

[Bringmewineandcake]

That's terrible! Although I don't know what a doe and doe is....
Nasty grabby, grabbiness

[AudrinaAdare]

Dreadful people! Were they raised by wolves?

Worst breach of etiquette IMO was the speech Victoria's Dad gave at the Beckham's wedding where he said that, "many people would have liked to have been here today but it is you that David and Victoria have chosen"

Guests honour the bride and groom by their presence, not the other way around!

[thebody]

Bloody hell took me ages to read. Very funny though.
