Seriously, here is where your money is TRULY needed.
Please pay for the wedding we deserve but can't afford.

"We are both children of single moms, both of whom depend on outside help to make ends meet."
Um....no, you are two grown, independent men.

Posted: 12/5/12 at 12:01pmThis is about as great as when Jeffrey Self launched an Indiegogo product to pay for his dentist appointment.

Posted: 12/5/12 at 12:11pmIMDB says the one called Jamie directed a video called "Standing Ovations 2." Is this video for sale or available on Netflix? Do you have to have seen the first one to understand "2"?

Years and years and ages ago I read a great Pride time essay by Armistead Maupin that was a sort of rousing of the troops that reminded us of all the things we have to be proud of. It was what feels like light years before anybody thought any homosexual anywhere would ever be granted legal marital status.
One of the things Maupin pointed out was that we were *free* of the Judeo-Christian rules and playbook, that we could be innovative and creative and come up with our own ways to structure our lives and mark our special occasions however we wanted.
Years later I am unable to locate that essay anywhere and we live in a world where people seem more than anything to want to not be creative and innovative but to ape the traditions that are replicated on TLC reality shows with words that end with "-zilla" in their title.
I don't want to begrudge anybody their fundamental conservative desires, but sometimes our desires might need to be adjusted if we can't pull them off financially or otherwise. It's times like these I wish people would think creatively.

They're doing it for their "ten year old selves."

Posted: 12/5/12 at 12:56pmSOMMS, I am thinking it will have to be a bit more "traditional" for the single moms.

The Jeffery Self thing was kind of different, though.
Jeffery had thousands of people who'd enjoyed his (free) videos over the years. So when he broke his tooth and had no dental insurance, he asked if any of those people wanted to help out.
So that seemed a little less like "Hi, I'm a stranger and you should give me money." To me anyway.

Posted: 12/5/12 at 1:17pmBreaking a tooth is an emergency. Weddings are only emergencies if the bride doesn't want to have a bastard child.

Posted: 12/5/12 at 1:21pmSo there are apparently several websites set up to allow you to beg for money from strangers for any number of "causes." I can recall Ann Landers ripping brides a new one for putting a request for cash instead of gifts on the wedding invite.

There's a trend now for brides to solicit bakers, dressmakers, etc to sponsor their wedding. They ask for a free cake in exchange for mention in the wedding program. Invaluable advertising at the event of the season.
If you ask me, that amounts to free advertising to the brides friends and relatives that you can be suckered into giving free cake at their weddings too!

Speaking of sponsoring a wedding...Some brides need a little LESS cake.
