Why not have a sponsored wedding?

(SPON.surd wed.ing) n. A wedding in which some or all of the costs, products, or services are provided by local businesses in exchange for exposure or publicity.

This past weekend, I had the privilege of attending a coworkers wedding. This is the third wedding I have been to this year. Wow. (By the way, congrats Jared and Bobbi)

Note to friends: Slow down guys- this is getting expensive. Too many wedding presents in one year.

While Aaron and I were sitting there checking the reception venue out- we couldn't help but notice the number of presents this couple racked in. Like my God- why wouldn't you get married? Well I guess besides the obvious reasons...

I would be like a kid in a candy store going to places like The Bay and registering. Could you imagine? Jeez- all those presents, for me. Ahhh. And even the whole wedding day. The whole day is about me. Well me and the dude who gets suckered into hitching up with me. Get to wear a big fancy white dress, have endless pictures taken of me, get to kiss my man whenever someone sings a song about love from the crowd, get to dance to "our" song, and so much more.

Aaron made a funny point actually. He wants his wedding to be a production. Good idea. Lights, cameras, roll out the red carpet, sign autographs. Or... just have everyone and their dog invited- that way you get more presents. You could get your wedding sponsored by lets say... the locals in the town. Then you could hang banners and make sure to have their advertising on something at the reception. That might cut down costs a bit for the production.

Or not really. Not much romance in a big 7-11 sign in front of the head table. Ooh but maybe a Hallmark something somewhere. Could you imagine a Hallmark wedding? Now that would be super uber dreamy.

Actually, a simple, low key, inexpensive wedding might just cut the cake.
