who the heck gets married at 5 pm on a Friday?

 

 

your wedding gift is me showing up because I had to take off work. The worst part is that they spent like 20k on this shin dig.

 

 

free beer! dancing with Miss PA. hell yeah.

My parents are going to a wedding on New Years Eve.

The sad part is they probably picked Friday and the time to SAVE MONEY. I had a coworker do the same thing, telling me that it was 50% less than having it on a Saturday.

Whats's sad about trying to save money?

Friday weddings are a great idea, Sunday weddings suck.

We were married the Friday after Thanksgiving and all our guests thought it was a great idea. Most people have the day off already and there's not much to do on that day and they still had a full weekend to recover from the hangover.

I went to a few Friday weddings (in June) and it was a complete pain in the ass. I had an okay time at them, but it was the worst rushing out of work to get 30+ miles away and try to look fresh as a daisy. That is why there was no way in hell I was going to get married on a Friday (all I had to do was remind Brian of the rushing around and he agreed 100%). Turns out we wouldn't have saved that much if we had done a Friday wedding. In any case, I am extremely glad it is done and now I wish I could hire someone else to do our wedding album as I just don't give a damn about it in the least.

Dang, for a minute I thought it was YOU getting married, PA.

 

Have you set a date, btw?

 

And I agree with the no-Friday-weddings crowd. Friday is for the bachelor/bachelorette parties, so that there is a very real chance of one or the other being passed out and missing their wedding.

The sad part is you are spending $20,000+ on a wedding, and worried about maybe another $1000 by switching the wedding to a Friday. I get these same people in my shop sometimes ordering wedding invitations. They want custom everything, then balk when I show them the price. They try to point out that in the book they can order them for $300, so I suggest that they order those instead. "But I want this special ridged paper in my color with the gold foil stamping on it" Oh well. I'll bet her wedding dress cost well into 4 figures, and she didn't bat an eyelash. The Friday after turkey day is a slightly different animal, as most non-retail people are not working that day anyway.
