An old friend of mine from school recently got engaged. There were lots of pictures, articles online and in the newspaper (it was a very public proposal) and after the initial "oh so and so is engaged, that's nice" it got a bit irritating.
Anyway! Just saw before on Facebook that said friend has posted a status and link on her Facebook saying something along the lines of:
We already live together, we don't want 17 blenders. We would kindly appreciate help towards the cost of our wedding. Obviously we have to start this earlier as things need to be paid for.
Obviously this was said more eloquently than I put it but you get the jist.
