Speaker 1: All right, it is Mojo in the Morning show phone
Speaker 1: number eight four to four Mojo Live. The text is
Speaker 1: nine five five zero zero Text numbers nine five five
Speaker 1: zeros here. All right, I got a quick question to ask.
Speaker 1: So Chelsea and I are going to a wedding. We
Speaker 1: got a wedding coming up, and it's an out of
Speaker 1: It's not an out of town wedding, it's an out
Speaker 1: of country wedding. Okay, So we're going to a destination
Speaker 1: wedding and it's out of the country. Do you have
Speaker 1: to buy a wedding gift for somebody that if you
Speaker 1: go to a destination wedding, I'll.
Speaker 2: Say, yeah, it doesn't have to be crazy expensive, but
Speaker 2: it can be a token of eat your affection for them.
Speaker 3: Really, the the've got to be none crazy. What do
Speaker 3: you think, Shan.
Speaker 4: I feel like I've been in this predicament before and
Speaker 4: I'm always like, nah, I'm not going to give a gift,
Speaker 4: And then I get there and I'm like, I got.
Speaker 3: To give a gift, yeah, you.
Speaker 4: Know, and I'm like running out and buying a card
Speaker 4: and putting money in it.
Speaker 3: So here, because here's the thing.
Speaker 1: We are spending money on airfare we're spending money on hotel.
Speaker 1: We're spending money on spending money, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Like if it was a wedding and I was just
Speaker 1: going to it and it was at the uh, you know, Whitney.
Speaker 1: You know, what's what's the place on the east side
Speaker 1: up by you Lydia.
Speaker 5: Oh that's Pennas Shannondoa's on the west side.
Speaker 1: Now what's the other place? Though I was thinking of that,
Speaker 1: they were all the pla. I just like the name
Speaker 1: of it. I just like saying Plazzo Grande. So if
Speaker 1: I was, you know, going to a wedding at the
Speaker 1: Palazzo Grande, all I got to do is just drive
Speaker 1: there right and then. And then here's another question, And
Speaker 1: I think Kevin and I are going to differ on
Speaker 1: this one because I think I brought it up in
Speaker 1: the pre show meeting with us. What is the how
Speaker 1: much money do you give as a wedding gift? Because
Speaker 1: I think nowadays one hundred dollars is cheap, Like I think,
Speaker 1: and I know not everybody can afford one hundred dollars,
Speaker 1: But if you're invited to a wedding and you know
Speaker 1: they paid more than one hundred dollars probably for your
Speaker 1: meal alone. Are you only giving them one hundred dollars
Speaker 1: as a wedding gift? I think what's your threshold? Well,
Speaker 1: even a even a happy meal now is now seventeen
Speaker 1: to eighteen dollars?
Speaker 3: Oh my god, Well, I mean you can't. You can't.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I can't base my gift giving off of happy meals.
Speaker 2: I got to base it off what I can afford. Well,
Speaker 2: just because the world inflated, don't mean my pockets are.
Speaker 1: But that's where That's what I'm saying. Maybe maybe there's
Speaker 1: you know, needs, Like when the bride and groom open
Speaker 1: up cards and they open up the gifts, I guarantee
Speaker 1: you when now they see one hundred dollars, they're like, hey,
Speaker 1: I bet he makes I bet Kevin makes more money
Speaker 1: than that To give me one hundred dollars, I'm not
Speaker 1: your five hundred dollars card guy.
Speaker 3: But you got to open up the next what's your
Speaker 3: relationship with them? If you're at their uncle, yes you
Speaker 3: should give more. Also if you're in the wedding, like
Speaker 3: I have to go to a bridle shower, I have
Speaker 3: to get a dress. I'm not giving you five hundred dollars.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know the relationship of the people. Get
Speaker 2: them something that symbolic of your relationship. You're not trying
Speaker 2: to finance. They knew what they were doing when they
Speaker 2: decided to have this type of wedding with this, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean.
Speaker 3: You know it's not up to you to pay for it.
Speaker 1: I'm throwing a bunch out there, so I guess we
Speaker 1: can tackle them all at the same time. But destination wedding,
Speaker 1: I have to get them a gift. And if I'm
Speaker 1: going to get them a gift, do I get them
Speaker 1: something big because I spend a you know, we had
Speaker 1: to spend money on the airline stuff.
Speaker 3: You know, give them some batteries. Everybody needs batteries.
Speaker 5: Awesome.
Speaker 3: Great.
Speaker 4: I feel like you're gonna feel yeah, like you're gonna
Speaker 4: be You're gonna feel shamed if you get there and
Speaker 4: you don't give them a gift.
Speaker 5: That's what always happens to me. I'm telling you.
Speaker 2: You probably in a situation, spend more money than you
Speaker 2: would have if you ever got it. Sure.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, though, they're not going to know for
Speaker 1: a while because nobody knows what they got his gifts
Speaker 1: until a couple of days later. What's a nice I
Speaker 1: wait and see what kind of fun we have, Tory,
Speaker 1: what's up to a year?
Speaker 3: Hey? Torri, what's going on?
Speaker 2: Hi?
Speaker 3: How are you? My brother is having a destination wedding
Speaker 3: in the fall, and I'm.
Speaker 4: Pretty sure they're expecting gifts.
Speaker 3: So where is it? Where are you guys going?
Speaker 5: We're going to the vineyard and it's in North Carolina,
Speaker 5: so it's right on the border of North Carolina and.
Speaker 4: Georgia, so it's like one country. It should be super pretty.
Speaker 3: But it is a black tie optional.
Speaker 1: So I if you go to a black tie wedding
Speaker 1: and you only give one hundred dollars as a gift,
Speaker 1: that's they already wants you to dress up. You can't
Speaker 1: give one hundred dollars a person. I'm saying that you
Speaker 1: got to give at least a couple hundred, two hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty bucks.
Speaker 3: No, not a person, No for well black five hundred.
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm gonna be on the optional side.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you got to give more than that.
Speaker 3: That's crazy.
Speaker 1: Call text her about the the Arab weddings that they
Speaker 1: said the Chaldean weddings and stuff like that. They wrote
Speaker 1: Kaldian and Arab weddings and then they gave an amount.
Speaker 3: Wait till you hear that amount? What's up, Eileen?
Speaker 2: Hi?
Speaker 3: Hi? What's what's your thoughts? Well, what I was thinking.
Speaker 1: Is, first of all, if it's out of the country,
Speaker 1: won't they have to claim that money when they come back?
Speaker 3: If anything, I would think, you.
Speaker 5: Know, give them a gift or you leave or not
Speaker 5: at all.
Speaker 3: Because you're already paying for the travels, your room, all
Speaker 3: of that. That's an interesting thing.
Speaker 1: If it's out of the country, do you have to
Speaker 1: come back through customs and say I'm also coming back
Speaker 1: with you know, a blender, right because.
Speaker 5: They wouldn't be able to bring all the stuff.
Speaker 2: You know, just think of how they did give them
Speaker 2: a physical gift.
Speaker 5: How to get that all back home too?
Speaker 3: People?
Speaker 1: Do they really want you to buy something off their
Speaker 1: their Yes, for a wedding.
Speaker 5: For a wedding, No, they want money, right.
Speaker 1: Lydia can't get this person on the text. What's the
Speaker 1: most says ready Keldyan and Arab weddings minimum five hundred dollars?
Speaker 5: Now, why that's insane?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's true too, Like if it's a first cousin,
Speaker 3: you're at least throwing five hundred dollars in that envelope
Speaker 3: or what.
Speaker 5: Well, it's because we're really close to them.
Speaker 2: So I'm just saying, like, if you don't like you get,
Speaker 2: you can't come to things.
Speaker 3: Giving or like just say it.
Speaker 5: But I almost feel like it's a little frowned upon.
Speaker 3: You're going to need lydium Bion get to hold off.
Speaker 3: I'm getting married, Michelle, what's up, Michelle?
Speaker 5: Okay, So, if you guys are just acquaintances, it's a
Speaker 5: minimum two hundred a person, and then obviously going.
Speaker 4: Person two hundred dollars. So West and I go to
Speaker 4: a wedding, it's four hundred dollars. Now then they then
Speaker 4: everybody whose wedding I've gone to recently hates me.
Speaker 5: I am not writing a check for four hundred dollars.
Speaker 4: Listen, No, it honestly stops, especially having so many weddings
Speaker 4: coming back to Bath.
Speaker 5: But at this point nothing feels enough or do you
Speaker 5: have a shock on my face?
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, but I'm.
Speaker 5: Not writing a check for four hundred dollars.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's I remember all the Kaldian weddings that I've
Speaker 1: gone to.
Speaker 3: It's been a lot of money. What's going on, Wally?
Speaker 2: Hi? Hi, yoe?
Speaker 3: What's up? You guys are talking about one hundred dollars?
Speaker 3: You know, we Arabs and Chaldeans. The minium you would
Speaker 3: say at a wedding, it's five hundred. Yeah, nonimal Who decides?
Speaker 3: Who decided?
Speaker 2: Because you know the banquet hells are so expensive in
Speaker 2: the wedding.
Speaker 5: Guess what that's on you. I hate this rule, I
Speaker 5: really do.
Speaker 4: It bugs me so bad whenever we talk about Keldian
Speaker 4: weddings and they're like, well, we have to make our
Speaker 4: money back. Well, that's not the purpose of throwing a wedding.
Speaker 4: A purpose of throwing the wedding is to celebrate two
Speaker 4: people and starting their life together and having your friends
Speaker 4: and family.
Speaker 5: But for that coach to your guest to pay for
Speaker 5: the wedding.
Speaker 3: Listen, they got to pay for the champagne bar in the.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 3: No, hold on, Heather, what's up, Heather? This is an
Speaker 3: absolutely ridiculous expectation to get that kind of money at
Speaker 3: a wedding. I don't agree with you often, Kevin, but
Speaker 3: you are right on this one. I agree with you.
Speaker 3: Welcome to the right side. You're right.
Speaker 4: It's just they should be happy that you're there.
Speaker 1: To celebrate them in the day.
Speaker 3: It's not all about the money in the gifts. What's
Speaker 3: your name?
Speaker 1: I'm going to write it down, Heather, like you, Heather, Heather,
Speaker 1: Hold on real quick, Alex is joining our party line here, Alex.
Speaker 3: What's up, Alex? Alex? Well, it's because our weddings cost
Speaker 3: on hundred and twenty grand.
Speaker 4: You gotta be putting you are stupid on your wedding.
Speaker 3: Stupid, it cost costs lots of money.
Speaker 4: Well choice, how much money a wedding?
Speaker 5: Dang?
Speaker 3: And it costed about one hundred and thirty five grades.
Speaker 3: All right, so stupid, Alex. Are you talking about your wedding? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Okay, so so tell me how how you got to
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty thousand in your wedding.
Speaker 3: Break it down for me. Flowers twenty grand, let's just
Speaker 3: start there. Twenty two grand maybe, okay, but.
Speaker 2: That you made money on a weddowers.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but you will be shunned if
Speaker 1: you don't. They'll all talk about you.
Speaker 3: Heather.
Speaker 4: Yeah, then you have really crappy friends and family. Now,
Speaker 4: if they're going to be like he didn't spend thirty
Speaker 4: grand on his flowers.
Speaker 3: Oh what are you going to give Lydia? When Lydia
Speaker 3: gets married?
Speaker 4: You're not going to give her that I love like
Speaker 4: I will give Lydia. I work with Lydia. I feel
Speaker 4: like Lydia's part of my family. That's different.
Speaker 3: I'm giving it like if it's.
Speaker 4: Somebody said earlier in a somebody that you're an acquaintance of,
Speaker 4: and you could invite it into the wedding. I'm not
Speaker 4: writing them a check for five hundred, for even four
Speaker 4: hundred dollars. No, no way, then don't invite me because
Speaker 4: I'm telling you right now, you're gonna open the card
Speaker 4: and be and it's.
Speaker 5: Gonna be a cute card.
Speaker 3: They're gonna be.
Speaker 5: Probably you're gonna be very disappointed.
Speaker 1: Wait, the file and the chicken and all that hummus
Speaker 1: probably did my options.
Speaker 3: All right, It's Mojo in the Morning Show.
