I did a similar joke once on a fandom-related Yahoogroup I run. I sent out a new set of list rules. I did it on April 1. I filled it with restrictions that would have killed my favorite topics of conversation. I put in ludicrously labrynthine rules about how many posts you had to make on topic A and topic B befor you could post one on topic C. Then I put a huge April Fools message at the end...and I still got a couple people who quit over the horrible new rules. Sometimes you have to make a joke very clearly a joke, and someone will still miss the punch line. Gotta love the 99cent store wedding extravaganza! I keep telling people that weddings cost what you're willing to pay for them...and this is a perfect illustration. If I lived in the area, I might be up for a vow renewal. Also kudos to the arrangers for sending the profits to a very worthy cause. We need more no-kill animal shelters in this country. The bridesmaid’s contract is the sort of joke you have to be VERY careful with.
