nicest unpretentious (that means not a NYC-area wedding) was a cousin who married country girl and wedding party was those open pavillions in some state park where women in brides family made most of the food and served heated up with sterno.
Most interest was real orthodox wedding on LES where I was probably only goyim there…Men and women separated…all this carrying around the groom by the men and such. I had to pretend like I knew what was going on.
“Maybe we’ll sing it together next time at Ellis.”
CobbleSnaps is planning a BIG post-April 15th-spend-your-tax-refund gathering (though, truth be told, the Snaps 1/2 of the partnership hasn’t told the Cobble 1/2 of the partnership about this yet), but I suggested to Snappy that we do an Ellis impromptu when she returns from P’Burgh. You and I can sing “No Dogs Allowed”.
And, no, I don’t know the Woody Allen punchline. JB??
Pete, the rolexes for cousin wouldnt be for show (ie I’ll give it to him discretly before wedding). the $$$ per HC for friend and family are pretty standard.
Regarding showy/flashy gifting, think you’re thinking of fukian weddings (ie DIBS’ chinese bf) where the relative’s gifts are announced/shown on center stage by the MC. 1 time, a buddy had to bring 6 diff size & value gold chains with him – so he can match or exceed gifts by others that preceded him. it’s like a 1-up showmanship thing. Now that’s getting ridiculous
I’m registered as a Druid at N Y Hosp. Admissions insisted I fill in the religion line: “You may not be checking out & we have to know how to deal w/ the remains,” so I put Druid.
Oh no, I went to a Fukian wedding and gave like $100 bucks. They’re probably still talking about the little jewish girl.

I met CDog on Sunday! Gorgeous & absolutely charming.
Benson, that’s ridiculous, why would it be funny? All people are exactly the same.

LOL, wasder! I’m simply not having enough fun to fail the drug test!!
Pete, THAT dog is just a bit too big for CDog, who, like me, is short (only 18″).
