I received an email from one of Mr Witchy's oldest friends (a female), whom I'll call "Fern". It's a email wedding invitation done about as poorly as a mass email could possibly be done.
She failed to "BCC" hundreds of us to whom sh sent it; she spammed us all AND shows our mail addys to everybody else! So our private mail addys are shown to hundreds of strangers, now. Thanks, Fern, thanks loads.
How nice to know that you "invited" hundreds of people you know - a mere 10 days before th wedding with no advance notice - knowing that virtually none of us would able to fly to Arizona in time to attend, without prior notice. Since you knew this, wouldn't it have been more honest to gt married in a private ceremony (which you are doing anyhow) and then snd an email announcement afterwards? Oh, right... you wanted the wedding gifts that you'd miss out on if you just did th honest thing.
That brings me to the other annoyance: She crudely states in her 'invitation', "As for wedding gifts, just send money; we’re trying to buy a house." Tacky, Fern. Seriously tacky to mention gifts in your actual invitation. You really couldn't have gotten any tackier, could you have?
But she did get tackier. She states that "it's a pagan ceremony so any costumes or greenery that reflect that are welcome". Look, it's not that I'm bashing neo-pagan religions; i have been to several very nice handfastings, but those people wore good clothes and no 'costumes'.
Would any of unnu actually send her a gift?
Or even acknowledge her 'invitation'?
What would unnu do?
