Wouldn’t hurt to post the link.
You need to ask Jim. It’s his house.
My wife and I were going to elope but at the last minute we decided to invite a few friends and our families. Planned it all in three weeks; a nice hotel suite, a roast, some champagne, and a preacher.
Going on fifteen years with three great kids and truly blessed!
They sound like they have everything they really need.
Ask the mods first if it’s OK. There is a Freepathon going on right now, and that takes precedent IMHO. On the other hand, I don;t know what the rules are on voting but I can guess it was open to anyone to vote as long as you have a braincell to click for your choice. The homos maximized their sorry homo status to win, and if the rules are open to anyone around the world to vote, then it is what it is.
Sounds like the best course would be to boycott the paper and ask subscribers to stop their sub. The gay guys were clearly ineligible. Their votes should never have been counted.
Raise a brooha about the idiots at the paper who perpetrated this fraud. Contact advertisers. Turn up the heat.
This is a local community issue and needs to be dealt with by your local community, not by asking Freepers to right some wrong that needs to be addressed directly.
You asked for opinions, so here’s my two cents: I think the idea of anyone spending $20,000 on a wedding is obscene. We got married with just our immediate families (alright, one aunt came) and then my mother treated us to a nice lunch out at a restaurant. And has our marriage suffered because we didn’t spend a fortune on material goods that would have taken our focus away from the sacredness of the event? No.
Just like retailers have done so much harm to Christmas by making the focus on the presents, so the wedding “industry” harms marriage by telling everyone the most important things to worry about are dresses, and shoes and flowers and all the rest. Doesn’t matter what you’re wearing, whether or not you have fancy invitations, how many hundreds of people you invite. All you really need are a bride, a groom, a preacher, two witnesses and sincere request that God bless your union.
