A very close friend of mine has decided to get married. I could write 10,000 paragraphs as to why I think this is (for him, and yes, for her) a monumentally stupid idea, but not without invading their privacy. I only offer that as a disclaimer because it will be evident to you readers that their impulsiveness is just the tip of the bad idea iceberg. Anyway, I love these people, so I am asking for help from the internets about this wedding. Naturally, money is a major concern. Long ago, when they approached me about holding the wedding here, I was more than willing to offer the property, and even build a small “chapel” and rent the tents and chairs for them. However, December seems like a bad time to do this. So, we need an affordable place to hold both the ceremony and the reception, and I need a band with a sense of humor that will do this gig relatively cheaply. (More than I can convey here, I want a very cheesy cover band ala the “Wedding Singer”)
I called two friends last night when I got the news, but got their voicemail and left a hurried, cryptic message that one of them thought meant i was mad at them. I wasn’t. I was excited (reservations about the event notwithstanding) and wanted advice.
So, any ideas? I may have to fly Magniloquence out here to help…
