The wedding of my cousin Susy in Las Vegas was a great example of being brave. She sent save-the-dates and then a message asking for gifts, even though I had already been kind. The icing on the cake? She told me I should buy a $500 mixer that I would never use.
At another wedding, there were two levels of guests: VIPs had access to an open bar and cool wristbands, while everyone else had to settle for leftovers and a cash bar. The show-stopping moment? Something that says “sponsor our honeymoon” on it.
A couple who got married with only cash turned into tax collectors in the Middle Ages by asking cash instead of gifts. It was no surprise that their marriage didn’t last.

A girl and mother-in-law got into a fight over hairstyles at a sister’s wedding, which turned into a soap opera-style fight.

A bride asked for $1,000 in cash gifts that were marked to be tracked. Her bravado shocked everyone who saw it.
