[quote=Anonymous]This is as bad as a wedding I went to several years ago.  It was pretty much a potluck, and we were all expected to bring food and decorations because the bride and groom were between jobs/finishing grad school, etc.  Oh, and they wanted contributions for their honeymoon in HAWAII.  Several of us were flying from the east coast to California for this event, and were seriously appalled at the attitude we started getting from the groom when he saw that none of us had signed up to bring anything.  Finally, his best friend since preschool spoke up and rebuked him for his expectations, especially since we couldn't exactly haul crock-pots on the plane.  After a somewhat lame apology, he then modified his emails to include places we could stop at on the way to the wedding where we could pick up food!

Also, because we all were irked about the honeymoon, we bought traditional wedding gifts.  About three weeks after the wedding, he emailed every one of us to see if we still had the receipts so they could return the gifts for cash!  Definitely not the best wedding, but certainly the most entertaining.

Footnote to all of this:  They separated a year later and finalized their divorce about two years ago.[/quote]
