Since we love OUR board so much...what is the most ridiculous thing you've seen on the other boards?
For me, it was the idiot bride who thought it was 'cost-effective' to have a reception in which she asked everyone - from near or far - to bring a dish to the reception. She called it a 'covered dish reception'. Of course it was cost effective for her - her a$$ wasn't paying for the reception food! People could have been sick off of food sitting in the car for too long or worse - OFFENDED! I would be! The guests at your weddings are just that - guests, and they deserve to be treated with respect. She got such a lashing but still didn't understand it. What a dumb dumb. I tried to point out that it was rude, that she wouldn't know what everyone was bringing, if anyone had an allergy they may be screwed, the food may spoil in the car, etc. Nothing worked.
The one REALLY nice thing about our culture is that we properly know how to treat our guests.
