Wedding Costs
This is a conversation i had with my boss and ex boss, who were hanging around my area just now.
B: Hmm to next year our running costs are £XXm. But i think our commercial director is going to force us to cut it by 20%.
Z: Wow. i wish the Commercial director would do my wedding budget. Then he'll magically slash the costs just like what he's doing now!
B: Well, i think his method of slashing your wedding costs would be to cut the fixed costs by bundling your wedding with 15 others and then making you marry someone else.
ExB: I think it's easier to cut our department budget than to cut Zorka's wedding budget.
B: We already talked about Zorka marrying in Skibo* Castle.
ExB: Skibo? But surely you're not a pop star?
Z: and the grad in my team wanted me to marry in Slains castle where U2 performed!
Grad: yeah mon**. That's so cool.
ExB: When is this planned?
Z: next year? Spring?
ExB: 15 months more? Well you certainly can't be accused of not doing enough Front end loading of your budget? And poor you. You've got 15 months of wedding conversation hell.
B: That's why I'm leaving the company
Des: Hence my job move.
Grad: I'm moving next month.
ExB: Does your dad know that he's paying for the wedding?
B: Ha ha ha that's the problem. In Chinese culture, the groom's side pays
ExB: And over here....
B: The bride's side pays. So both sides are expecting the other to pay.
ExB: Then there might be no wedding
B: Or a big ole knees up in the pub!
Z: Or an elopement! But, i could raise some money from my share plan. Or should i put it in my mortgage?
Everyone: MORTGAGE!!
