Wait-- NO one is going to get out their smelling salts over the fact there was a freaking raffle at a wedding, to raise money for some item that was on the registry but no one purchased? Because I'm going to have to use an an entire smelling-salt-store worth of 'em, plus I'll have to cluch not only my own pearls but every pearl in DC, over THAT detail.

But seriously: I'm not afraid to judge out loud: A raffle at a wedding, selling off shots at winning the bouquets (so desirable!) to pay for some big-ticket item that wasn't bought from the registry -- that's beyond tacky. Maybe the family thought it was somehow funnier? or classier? or something? than just saying frankly, "Get out your wallets and pony up $X each toward Sally and Sam's Super Expensive Registry Item they knew no one would really get for them, but they sure do want it!"

Blast me if you want, DCUM, but damn, a wedding raffle truly takes the cake for greediness. In fact, maybe instead of the bouquet raffle, the family should have just sold the cake, by the slice. At least then everyone would have gotten a little something for their money. [/quote]
