Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yeah, they talk better than the excited about These are
the radio blogs on the Fresh Show. I like writing
in our diaries, except we say them aloud. We call
them blogs. Kiki, Yes, take it away, all right, dear blog.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
I saw this debate happening on my Facebook timeline.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Yes I'm on Facebook.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
It's a wild place sometimes. But it was a bride
kind of granting about if you can't afford to come
to our wedding celebration, then you don't need to be there.
And I was like, afford what does this even mean?
So I'm in the comments section now do I know
these folks know? I'm on her timeline and found her
(00:39):
mother in law. It's just a lot going on. But
what I noticed was the bride was basically saying for
their wedding reception, they sent out a basically a QR
code on the invite for you to pay for your
attendance their wedding reception. Now, much like AI, I'm like,
if this is the new way we're doing and things,
(01:00):
let me know, you know, you let me know, because
then my budget for my wedding will be totally different.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
If we are now it's the new norm that we.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
All a sudden, No Mario to be two take getting
back together, each of us twenty five hundred bucks to
a tend.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
I got a Tupac hologram.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
This is a lot going on.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
So but if this is the new norm, like I
need to know because I was like, I have friends
now who are having beautiful birthday celebrations and dinners and things,
and they're saying, Hey, it's gonna be fifty bucks a person.
I don't mind, you know what I'm saying, like, Hey,
I'm coming to eat and celebrate.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
You have no problem with that.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
But now is this extending to wedding receptions where we
should just pay for our attendance basically to come. And
she was just saying like, if you can't pay, then
don't come. And don't you know, I'm We're not going
to be mad, but you don't want to celebrate us.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
And I was like, is this real?
Speaker 1 (01:48):
I think if you're gonna do that, you better expect
a lot of people not to show up to your
wedding because I think I don't think people want to
have to pay to go celebrate you, right, I mean,
I mean.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
We're gonna do a gift anyway, right When you think
about it.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
You know, there's food, there's a dj, there's an open bar,
hopefully that I don't mind paying for a good time.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
I think it's tacky to ask for that.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
But when I get ready to give somebody a wedding gift,
I try to make sure I overpay for my attendance.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
But is it now normal to like request that upfront? No,
that is crazy.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
What's funny to me is like if you unless you're
making me fly to Tahiti for your wedding, Like if
you were to say to me, I don't have a
lot of money. I'm getting married in my parents' backyard.
We're gonna have barbecue, my dad's gonna cook burgers, and
we're gonna have beer.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Amazing.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I don't think anybody would be upset with you about that.
Like a lot of the stuff that you're spending money on,
I feel like you're doing it for you or for
the appearance, or to keep up with the joneses, or
because your cousin did it or your sister did it.
Not necessarily because I'm going to enjoy one hundred dollars
plate of catered food from the hotel. Like honestly, I
told my sister this. They spent a lot of money
(02:56):
on her wedding, and she got really mad at me
when I said this, I only get one day and
I'm doing it my way. Like, yeah, but you guys
meant in the dive bar, Like what if you had
the wedding at the dive bar and it was just
all you can drink and all you can eat of
their amazing bar food all night. I realized that's not
your dream, and so that's not what happened. But do
you know how people would talk about that for years
and it would cost you a quarter of what you're spending,
(03:16):
you know what I mean. Like, so if you don't
have the money to have a big wedding, right, I
think that's okay, just don't have one, but don't send
me a Venmo request afterwards. Yeah, I mean, you just
got married in Vegas two years ago.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
I did, and to meet for people to even come out,
that was a cost, right, So I felt like.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
You know, I don't even want gifts.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
I just want you guys ought to come out, and
like you guys obviously did and it was so sweet
and you guys, you know, gave us wonderful gifts and
I think we're really blessed for that. But the world
of the story here is that girl needs to get
off of TikTok, Instagram, wherever she's looking comparing herself to
these other big weddings. It's not in your budget, babe.
You're not gonna That's not how it works. You don't
ask your guests to pay with all this money to
attend your wedding, like which is like a concert or
(03:55):
something like so.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Right, and she had them like pre paying, So I'm
m guessing she's like, Okay, we can get the ice
sculpture if seventy five people are SVP.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
But like, get off. It's really the New North. This
is crazy. Get off of TikTok or wherever you are
on Facebook. Well, yeah, get off of there too, wild place.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
I mean, Jason, you're the you were the wedding planner
for Pauline his wedding, you were the wedding organized you
were the day you were, the day of contact.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
I would have put myself a bigger talent fee, right,
I'd like to charge people up front, yeah, right, But
didn't realize this was we had to buy a ticket
to attend. And if that's the case, I'd like to
see the proceeds and I'd like to be compensated.
