Uncle married us, at my aunt's house(nice spot) and my dad paid for lunch after. Only mistake I made was I didn't know my mom was out of town so she wasn't there 🤣. But my wife gave her a grandchild so that's water under the bridge now. Wife's dress was like $35 from Francesca's and I wore a suit I already had. Her engagement ring on the other hand was like $8k. My wending band $30 and a possible future ring finger degloved because it's titanium.
Isn't there something that says rich weddings lead to quick divorces?
No better way to be sure that your partner is frugal and not in it for the money than a cheap wedding. Your interests have to be aligned or it never works.
I think we are going to one day just see a return to the medieval European wedding. Basically used to be you didn't need a priest or an occasion... You just made your vows ideally in front of witnesses who could back you up that it actually happened.
Common advice to young women was not to get married in taverns because a raucous party where everyone got too drunk to remember what exactly was said and done could leave you with essentially a one night stand where everyone could just deny the groom actually made vows. This is the situation that eventually lead to marriages being registered by a church official and eventually making marriages an institution of the church.
Given how things are going with folks basically just telling the tax man when they are married under common law we are not super far off.
No, I'm saying it could likely be a DIY project, with the right tools. I've never done it before, but it's a fairly common thing to diy these signs if you're on a budget.
As an American, my Brit friend took me to Gregg's. Told me that if I want to try actual British food, that's about par for the course. Those sausage rolls are cheap af, but taste pretty damn good. I will never understand your infatuation with flavorless Heinze beans though.
I don't know what she brings to the party, but this is likely one of many red flags she's been waving. Just because you go through with the wedding doesn't mean the flags vanish.
Edit: just noticed the date on the sign. RIP, Greg. Good luck to you.
It's a red flag of Greg doesn't like it. Could have been a red flag if Lauren wasn't sure how Greg would react to it when she showed it to him (mostly dependent on how she would react if he didn't like it). Same if any of the above happened with roles reversed.
But yeah, odds are Greg and Lauren both find it funny.
I also think it would be a funny way of directing the bride's guests and the groom's guests. The bride's will be directed to "Laura's Wedding, Featuring Greg," and the groom's to "Greg's Wedding, Featuring Laura."
How do you know Greg didn't make the joke? Do you now Greg and Lauren? Did you give them a gift off their registry or did you do the right thing and give them cold hard cash (via check)? Did you tip the bartender a 20 to start the night and say "remember this face!" and proceed to order thirteen G&Ts over the course of the ceremony?
Get out, Greg. It's not too late, Greg. I know that the wedding already happened, but divorce exists for a reason, Greg. Respect yourself because she never will, Greg.
Intentional self aware and self effacing humour from the couple
A tongue in cheek thing arranged by either the bride or groom
She did all the work in arranging it and he doesn't give a shit about marriage so a passive aggressive way of her celebrating an event that matters for he, but not for him
Different people like different things. Nothing wrong with celebrating one of the biggest days of one's life. I didn't want to be the center of attention, but if someone else does want to be that - on their wedding day - then that's cool too.
You've figured us out. Women™, the monolith. You alone have realized that we all have the same opinions, and we all require large weddings purely as a control method to discomfort everyone else present and place ourselves subconsciously in a position of power. Watch your back, Women™ are coming for you to keep our secret silent.
A tone indicator shouldn't be necessary. It should be pretty clear that different people just like different things. You might prefer a judge, but myself and my fiancée want a wedding. You claim it causes stress to the guests and participants, but all my friends and family, myself included, love attending weddings. They're fun parties to celebrate love. All women, like all people, are different. Men can like weddings too.
It totally can be. You should avoid ubiquitous blanket statements, you're bound to be wrong a fair percentage of the time. Judgement doesn't look good on anyone. There are plenty of issues with the institution of marriage, especially since it's been established with a hetero-centric point of view. I'm a gay woman, I'm fully aware of this, and we've made active choices to do things our way, not society's, as do many other gay and straight couples. There is always nuance.
Half of all marriages, which include people who have been married multiple times. For example, if you have 5 married couples, 4 are on their first marriage and the last couple is on their 6th marriage, then on average 50% of the marriages in this scenario failed. But it doesn't apply to everyone in the same way. Some people even remarry the same person.

Cant make a tomlette without breaking a few Greg's.
Welcome to Greg's baby, featuring Lauren.
At least this bridezilla is honest.
That sign cost more than my wedding

I think the sign is designed to make it easy to change "Greg" to someone else and reuse.
TFW your name as fiancee is written with white board marker.
Im sure you are her 1st choice.
Maybe she's just now finding out, too
"And Introducing...Greg!"
Eh, it could very easily be a DIY with a vinyl cutter
Still more expensive than my wedding lol
We basically eloped in front of family with a family member performing the ceremony
You're saying it's easy to DIY and get a result that doesn't look like shit?
No, I'm saying it could likely be a DIY project, with the right tools. I've never done it before, but it's a fairly common thing to diy these signs if you're on a budget.
Hey Greg!
Welcome to Lauren’s marriage.
If I get married this is how I want the invitations worded
With Laura's name, and also Greg? Or with your and your partner's names?
Cheaper to change our names lol
Why not both?
If.
If.
If we're laughing, there's a chance they were too.
I think it's 100% a joke
Can we ever really be 100% sure of anything?
Im just here for the Greg
I'm sure he's in there somewhere
I'll have one sausage roll and an Irn Bru
Can I get square sausage and potato scones there?
TIL about greggs. I will hunt one down if I ever make it to the UK
As an American, my Brit friend took me to Gregg's. Told me that if I want to try actual British food, that's about par for the course. Those sausage rolls are cheap af, but taste pretty damn good. I will never understand your infatuation with flavorless Heinze beans though.
Perhaps he's this guy.
This is so hilarious that now I have to get married.
What do you plan to marry?
Probably Greg in a few weeks
I wonder if Greg has ever drunk baileys from a shoe.
Can she learn to love him?
You've seen my downstairs mixup.
Run, Greg, Run!
I don't know what she brings to the party, but this is likely one of many red flags she's been waving. Just because you go through with the wedding doesn't mean the flags vanish.
Edit: just noticed the date on the sign. RIP, Greg. Good luck to you.
Or, crazy idea, maybe it's a joke they both find funny?
This is why terminally online people are terminally single. Everything is red flag gaslight abuse break up immediately.
I was really hoping the "get a divorce" culture was something that would have stayed with reddit
To be fair, we kinda fucked the "sanctity of marriage" long before reddit or the LGBT crowd ever got a chance to
Are you saying gay marriage defiles the concept?
In order for them to defile it the concept has to still exist.
Stop trying to put words in my mouth to cause arguements.
Are you saying Asian people are inferior to white people?
Yeah, I had a shitty marriage, and I found this genuinely funny
It's a red flag of Greg doesn't like it. Could have been a red flag if Lauren wasn't sure how Greg would react to it when she showed it to him (mostly dependent on how she would react if he didn't like it). Same if any of the above happened with roles reversed.

I also think it would be a funny way of directing the bride's guests and the groom's guests. The bride's will be directed to "Laura's Wedding, Featuring Greg," and the groom's to "Greg's Wedding, Featuring Laura."
It can be a joke they both find funny and also a red flag. What are we joking about here.. how controlling someone is about the wedding?
It can also be absolutely not a red flag.
The joy of the internet includes pontificating.
Greg must be a very patient man because Lauren seems exhausting.
Or she thought the sign would be funny. Made me giggle.
How do you know Greg didn't make the joke? Do you now Greg and Lauren? Did you give them a gift off their registry or did you do the right thing and give them cold hard cash (via check)? Did you tip the bartender a 20 to start the night and say "remember this face!" and proceed to order thirteen G&Ts over the course of the ceremony?
If this wasn't a joke, why would this even exist at the wedding?
Which of the four Gregs is it tho?
Probably Regular Greg from AP Calculus.
Get out, Greg. It's not too late, Greg. I know that the wedding already happened, but divorce exists for a reason, Greg. Respect yourself because she never will, Greg.
Greg.
“Welcome to Laura’s Wedding
feat. greg* weɖɖing
Wepping
See, everyone hates Greg
Is it because everybody loves Raymond?
I thought it was Chris
Chris is a bastard too.
But who's the Best Boy?
Poor Karen, they put the wrong name on the sign! Greg is fine tho.
😓
Could be

The median is much lower.
Can I ask, have you ever been in a relationship with women? They're not a monolith.
