My only suggestion is to have your wedding first so you get all the good gifts.

Why am I homeless? Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question.

I'm learning lots about Japanese weddings. My fiance wants a western wedding in Japan- her exact words were "a white dress, no uncomfortable kimono." Weddings here have three parts if you want them- ceremony (hire a white guy to play a pastor- some white guys really make a living doing that here), inner party (very close friends and family only), and 2nd reception for other friends. She only wants the inner party, which given I have almost nobody coming would be 40 people or less. And its only a two hour thing. Downside is its still ungodly expensive- the Japanese really get soaked on weddings and funeral costs. Upside is that each of the 40 or so people give cash- the amount is directly indicated on the invitation- at least $300 and optionally $400 or $500 if the attendee is wealthy. 2nd party attendees, if we have one, give only $100. I've been to a wedding here- there's literally a guy at the front that takes your money before letting you in  |
All life begins with Nu and ends with Nu. This is the truth! This is my belief! At least for now...

I find Rachel Maddow seriously hot.

Wow. I think I ought to suggest that to my fiance. If nothing else, it should ensure a small ceremony |

I thought in Western cultures it was customary to give the happy couple a gift, as a token of appreciation for all the pain and time spent in organising the wedding. Asians are much more practical! Weddings cost money, give money!

When she crossed over, she was just a ship. But when she came back... she was bullshit!

Actually, the gift is theoretically intended to get them all the stuff they need to start a new household (in a western wedding). Hence the wedding registries, so they don't get 16 melon ballers and 8 garlic presses. Do you know I've owned 4 garlic presses, and never actually used one to press garlic (I don't like chunky garlic, I use garlic powder for flavor but actual chunks of garlic are like little chunks of barbed steel in my stomach, and the smell comes out in your sweat).

I always give a chrome 2-slot toaster as a wedding present. Then if the bride or groom get upset, don't give the check that goes along with it.

People should always go for the Goodfellas Bag O' Money type wedding.
