We had a girl, who I'll call Pam, as our receptionist. She was about 19 and sharp as a marble. She got herself some 500 cc implants, courtesy of the doctor, and lo and behold her boyfriend (since the sixth grade, I think) decides they should get married. Pam goes off to the local home improvement center one day, and there she sees a contest. What I'll call "House Junquetion" will pay for your wedding! But you've got to have it there in the Hardware Department of the House Junquetion, and be sure to bring all your friends and family. Pam won that crazy wedding, and I did attend it. Classy? Oh but no! I really thought they'd drive off on a lawn tractor together after the ceremony. They were married about a year, at which time I'm sure those implants lost their luster. I wondered if they could just take their original marriage license back to the HJ and simply apply from paint stripper to it and voila! Annulment!

Sheesh! I'd rather get another goddamn miniature champagne glass filled with stale jordan almonds! Count me as one West Coast gal who is deeply offended by this concept. If you can't afford to spend $10,000 on a wedding, then throw the one you can afford for $3,000 and keep in mind what the day is all about: publicly committing yourself to the person you love. A wedding is magical, whether it costs $100 or $100,000. I can't imagine cheapening the meaning of the day for the sake of a few gew-gaws that don't matter in the end. There are always cheaper options for services that don't involve selling your wedding to the highest corporate bidder.

How would you keep from laughing? That dumb bride is going to regret doing that. All her memories of that day are going to be overshadowed by memories of logos. Gross.

It is one of the most vile things I have ever heard of. I remember first hearing about “wedding sponsorship” when Star Jones got married. It is one of the most vile things I have ever heard of.
