| The Mighty Quill | Posted – 1/27/2005 7:35:57 PM | show profile | email poster I'm writing a piece on wedding etiquette for an in-flight magazine - the angle is, How to Be a Great Guest. I'm looking for both good stories and bad. For example, the best gift, or how a guest solved a problem that saved the day. Alternatively, someone who said something really callous, wore something inappropriate, brought unwanted guests, started a fight. I would particularly like to hear from brides and grooms, but am open to any good story. My deadline is short (Feb 1), so am eager for replies, please e-mail. Best, Dann M. ------ MQ |

An hour later, he came up to us and asked for the $50 back and said that he really needed it to go buy some cocaine. Several months later, this guest/groomsmen ran into my husband at a deli and said sorry for taking the $50 at the wedding, and bought my husband a roast beef sandwich as a wedding gift. Also several of our guests got into a brawl in the parking at the wedding reception, which was located next door to a bar. Apparently my guests and several bar patrons had a decent rumble. The police were called and broke up the fight. I had no clue this was going on at the time. We also ran out of chicken entrees at dinner and a frantic employee tore out of the kitchen and confronted my father with this tradgedy, to which he replied, ''Who gives a shit. Give them the fucking roast beef.'' By the way, I am still married and our friends have become a little more sophisticated since then. |
