You wouldn't happen to remember how much is 1� in �? It's hard to think in pounds when you dont know how much it is...

Zweihander · 06-09-2004, 08:18 AM

1.00� = 0.664190�
1.00� = 1.50570�

Brought to you by some random converter I googled. And there are things worse than retail, such as McDonald's, or putting stuff in, sealing, stamping, and addressing envelopes. That was the worst summer ever...

Heh, I once had a job with an hourly wage of [E]4,60. Though that was in the movie theater, and the free movies sort of made up for that...

... especially since they never bothered to actually put me on the weekly work schedule...

And no, I'm not going to bother converting [E] or pounds into $. Go use the random converter Zweihander, whom I now like because he apparently reads Something Positive, googled up.

EDIT:[E] = Euro sign. How come Osterbaum can write it while I can't?

I think it might actually be the keyboard...I can make those signs in word but on here all I have is $.

Anyways why is it two months exactly? I imagine it wasn't just the money otherwise you would have waited a few more weeks so he would have enough to just stay.

We need over �1000 to be able to afford this wedding, probably even more. We'll be working things out a little better when Shiney gets home.

Isn't it tradition for the father of the bride to pay for the wedding... or part of it? Maybe it's just us Bass Ackwards Americans.(How did we become a world power again?)
Well good luck with the wedding...you should post pics for those of us who won't be fortunate enough to be present then.

ctrl+alt+E=�. Try it again. Maby it's your overly sofisticated german keyboard...

My father pay for my wedding? Not likely. He has 5 children and my mother doesn't work. So he's paying for the family. He couldn't afford my wedding expenses and I wouldn't ask him to. I wouldn't ask the same of John's family either, because we come from similar backgrounds and I know how hard it is to keep hold of money.

Why two months? My cousins wedding is in two months. She issued an invitation to us and John would really like to go. To prove he wants to be part of our ever growing family. Also so I can catch the flowers. XD It also beats the waiting of 11 months that we did before. That sucked.

Not only was this not exclusively an American tradition, the bride's family paying for the wedding is very outdated, unless the bride's parents are millionares :P My brother and his wife had a huge wedding they paid for themselves, and my own wedding tho incredibly small and relatively inexpensive was paid for by my husband and myself. (yay cheap vegas).

Suddenly you call him John. It confuses me...

I think that these days its pretty much that the groom and bride pay for the wedding themselves. There are offcourse exeptions.

Aerozord · 06-09-2004, 02:53 PM

well my family is big on tradition so thats how we do things. My grandparents paid for my mom's wedding and we expect mine and my brothers wife's family to pay for ours. Of cource my parents still get reception duty so it balances out abit
