My wife and I have a friend that just announced her wedding date... and it's on a friday. I know the friday wedding is becoming a growing trend but I personally think it's crap. A friday wedding is nothing more than a statement saying "I'm cheap and I don't give a damn that you out-of-towners have to take a day of vacation to attend my wedding." The type of bride that has a friday wedding is the type who books a great venue and then when you go to the bar to order a beer you're told it will be $4.00. The truth is, brides focus on too much of the crap that no one cares about: the invitations, the floral arrangements, the table favors. There's really only a couple rules you have to remember to have a successful wedding: feed them well, let them drink for free, and don't have a Friday wedding (unless everyone is local). If you screw any of these three things up, people will think you're cheap no matter how nice the venue, invitations, floral arrangements and table favors are.
