My folks. Ridiculous, isn't it? This is pretty much the story of her life. She and her DH-to-be barely keep their heads above water, as is. She works part time as a waitress at a Perkins and I don't think he makes more than maybe $25k/year.

I truly cannot imagine going off and getting married somewhere where most of my friends and family could not afford to take part in the day. I can't figure out why she and her fiance don't simply honeymoon in Vegas--that would make the most sense. Originally she wanted to be married by Elvis, until she started pricing that.

The friend who is standing as her MOH will have turned 21 just days before the wedding, so I know this trip will be very much about them all seeing how drunk they can remain for several days. Totally not my thing (I mean, hey...I like being a silly drunk as much as anyone, but in the safety of my own home and not for days on end). I think the wedding will be on a Weds., so I am planning to fly on Tues. and leave on Thurs. or Fri. I really hope our brother can go, since I adore him and his GF. Vegas with them would actually be fun. He just started a new job, though, so I'm not sure he'll be able to take off for several days in the middle of the week, like that.
