The bride and groom paid for almost everything: The hamburgers, the hot dogs and the fee to the county for the park lodge. I say "almost everything" because the guests brought their own drinks and a dish for the buffet line. Man, there was a lot of really good food! That's how my wedding was, except we had a whole roast pig (the wedding gift from the groom's brothers) instead of burgers and dogs. We provided beer and non-alcoholic beverages. Everybody brought a side dish. A big bowl of fresh strawberries instead of wedding cake. Cindy Hamilton Works for me Cindy! |

I ask the couple what their favorite charity or cause is and I make a donation in their name. I do the same in lieu of funeral flowers, although most families already request that these days. There was a Seinfeld episode about making a donation in lieu of giving an actual gift. George Costanza was not amused when it happened to him. I don't think it's a bad idea, though. Yeah, but he was amused later in the same episode... George: Hey, check this out. I gotta give out Christmas presents to everyone down at Kruger, so I'm pulling a Whatley. (Gives a Christmas card to Jerry) Jerry: (Reading it) "A donation has been made in your name to the Human Fund." - What is that? George: (With pride) Made it up. Jerry: (Continuing reading) "The Human Fund. Money for people." George: What do you think? Jerry: It has a certain understated stupidity. But, later, he redeems himself. :-) GEORGE: I think I could be a philanthropist. A kick ass philanthropist! I would have all this money, and people would love me. Then they would come to me... and beg! And if I felt like it, I would help them out. And then they would owe me big time! (Thinking to himself) ... First thing I'm gonna need is a driver... Very nice. My son is a big Seinfeld fan and just yesterday he flew to DC and went to pick up his rental car, which he had reserved around the middle of last week. They politely told him they didn't have a car for him. That triggered a whole Seinfeld dialogue, since that was the topic of another episode. |
