You counting during the reception?

Uh.. well no bar in the church so when would you count it?

 

[Wally]

as long as you dropped off your $200 entrance fee

In the envelope.

The old Italian was was to keep the envelope unsealed. If things sucked money was removed.

I've been to one cash bar wedding. Everyone is looking around like, what? Very rare around here.

No booze at your wedding. I'm ok giving less as a gift.

so who gets the $200 the B&G or dad and stepdad since they probably split the cost of wedding

 

[rod]

until a few years ago I put a nice crisp $20 in an envelope with some words of encouragement

upon my wife’s request that has been changed to a $50

And she has the nerve to call me cheap

Ha ha. That sounds like me. That's until the wife (Mrs. Moneybags) took over how much we stuffed in an envelope. I don't even ask anymore because I know I would be pissed. Most of the weddings anymore are for grandkids of people I don't even like.

Sorry, not sure what you were saying? I thought the 5k was gifts?

My bar tab was 5k before we were half way through the reception.

Dad should get it but no, the kids get it.

The only wedding I ever went to that didn't have an open bar (at least for an hour or two) was for a kid who's dad owned a big bar and the reception was at that bar. Talk about a cheapskate. We didn't stay long.

Dang, With my girls we paid per guest, everything included. I would say the average cost is 125-200 a head.

The Dad was charging at his own place? WTH?

I never understood the parents paying for the wedding. Told my wife's dad that we'll handle it. He was surprised when he asked me why and I said "well you ain't marrying her!"

@Operational needs getting the UPS driver in trouble?

Ummm I’m no expert or anything but I think that’s a FedEx Ground truck.

Wife's dad pays for wedding and groom's dad pays for reception.

Yep---there were a lot of pissed off people (on the brides side). Apparently the kid had told his friends and family about it and the wife didn't know. They have long since been divorced.

I would have told you thanks but no thanks. Save that money for a home with a basement.

Unbelievable.

We lucked out. One of my best friends owned a beer distributorship and donated all the beer at my daughters wedding.

What? Lol, I never got that memo.

I would have told you to shove that money where the sun don't shine. She's mine now.

Good luck talking about Daddy like that.
