I'm with the highest bidder
Currently for sale on EBay- wedding invitations to the least sparkling event of the season.
I’ve been invited to the wedding of a mate of mine who I used to know really well until he started going out with the girl he’s going to marry. She’s a dog. No really. I haven’t seen them since I told her she’s a dog over two years ago. They’ve stupidly invited me to their wedding, but I don’t want to go. It’s an invite to me ‘+plus 1″ and involves the afternoon reception (a sit down meal in a 4 star restaurant) and evening piss up (a bus will carry you there, and drag you to the nearest b&b or trainstation after. Should be a good day out. All in all I reckon there’s a good �150 worth of entertainment if you time it right. No one will know you’re not me except the groom and he’ll be so pissed trying to forget his new wife’s a dog he won’t notice. The only thing is, because she’s such a dog, they might not get married, so I reserve the right to cancel the bidding.
