Mastercard Wedding - 08-25-2006, 12:56 PM


MASTERCARD WEDDING

You got to love this guy... This is a true story about a recent
wedding that took place at Clemson University.
It was in the local newspaper and even Jay Leno mentioned it. It was a
huge wedding with about 300 guests.

After the wedding, at the reception, the groom got up on stage with a
microphone to talk to the crowd. He said he wanted to thank everyone
for coming, many from long distances, to support them at their wedding.

He especially wanted to thank the bride's and his family and to thank
his new father-in-law for providing such a lavish reception.

As a token of his deep appreciation he said he wanted to give everyone
a special gift just from him.

So taped to the bottom of everyone's chair, including the wedding
party was an envelope.

He said this was his gift to everyone, and asked them to open their
envelope.

Inside each manila envelope was an 8x10 glossy of his bride having sex
with the best man.

The groom had gotten suspicious of them weeks earlier and had hired a
private detective to tail them.

After just standing there, just watching the guests' reactions for a
couple of minutes, he turned to the best man and said, "F--- you!"

Then he turned to his bride and said, "F--- you!"

Then he turned to the dumbfounded crowd and said, "I'm outta here."

He had the marriage annulled first thing in the morning.

While most people would have canceled the wedding immediately after
finding out about the affair, this guy goes through with the charade,
as if nothing were wrong.

His revenge--making the bride's parents pay ove r $32,000 for a 300
guest wedding and reception, and best of all, trashing the bride's and best
man's reputations in front of 300 friends and family members.

This guy has balls the size of church bells.

Do you think we might get a MasterCard "priceless" commercial out of
this?


Elegant wedding reception for 300 family members and friends: $32,000.

Wedding photographs commemorating the Occasion: $3,000

Deluxe two week honeymoon accommodations in Maui: $8,500.

The look on everyone's face when they see the 8x10 glossy of the bride
humping the best man:.... Priceless.

There are some things money can't buy, for everything else there's
MASTERCARD!

"Life isn't like a bowl of cherries or peaches, it's more like a jar
of Jalapenos--what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow......"

The difference between a war story and a fairy tale ??


Fairy tale starts out " Once upon a time"

A war story starts out " Now this in NO SH*T !"

If it was true, it would be a good lesson for getting paid before the wedding.

We were telling that story 10 years ago. Did it finally happen?

Oh, I hate to admit it, but that is what I spend 15 years ago and we only had about 120 guests. Looking back, well, actually, I wouldn't change it - it was a blast, I loved my photographer and am still happy with all my choices.
