Last night I channel surfed onto some TLC program called "Four Weddings," at which time I learned why our nation has landed in a financial garbage dump. It's because people are spending $40,000 on stupid weddings!!!!
The gist of the show was to see which of four weddings was tops in venue, food, decorations, gown, and overall experience. The winner received a trip to some 3rd-world island.
Now, if The Learning Channel ever comes up with a show about cheap weddings, The Flaming Bore is going to be in hot contention. When I tied the noose back in 1980, my guess is the budget was well under $100.00, including the marriage license:
Venue: Sedgwick County Courthouse and Wichita Thunder Ice Rink
Food: Sara Lee cake and hotdogs at the ice hockey game
Decorations: none, other than the dead something that Dr. Maureen picked from the courthouse entryway
Gown: jeans and flannel shirt, old but clean
Overall Experience: good for a few laughs
I think more money was spent on the divorce.
