Speaker 2: about a wedding.

15
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I guess I'm going to pose a bit

16
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 3: of a question.

17
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: This is the one in America, right, Yeah, this is

18
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: the one that you only just got the visa four

19
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: to be able to get into the country because of

20
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:49,440

Speaker 5: Yeah.

23
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, So my high school friend lives in New York

24
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 3: and she was getting married, so that's why I went.

25
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 3: And then I turned into a bit of a holiday. Yeah,

26
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 3: and I got an invitation to the in and there

27
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 3: was something on the wedding invitation I'd never really seen before. So,

28
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 3: you know, you know, when you see a wedding invitation

29
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 3: that goes your presence is presence enough. But if you

30
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 3: want to give us a gift passive aggress love, a

31
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 3: contribution to a honeymoon fund, or my favorite that I've

32
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 3: seen on an invitation, we'll be honoring Italian tradition on

33
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 3: the day.

34
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 2: Pin money to them.

35
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 3: Bring cash, yes, But on my friend's invitation it said

36
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 3: bring your appetite, bring your dancing shoes, bring gifts.

37
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: I like that.

38
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 4: That is straightforward.

39
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 3: And I clutched my pearls. I've never seen that before,

40
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 3: and I thought, oh, that's a bit fresh. But you know,

41
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 3: be out there to be honest. They wanted gifts, and

42
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 3: they sent a registry and marry in mind, this is

43
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 3: all in US dollars, which is, you know, a lot

44
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 3: more than what we've got right now at the moment.

45
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 3: An eight hundred dollars, an eight hundred dollars toaster, an

46
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 3: eight hundred dollars toast, five hundred and forty dollars US

47
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 3: pedal bin for the kitchen.

48
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: Oh yes, some toy live at the Hamptons.

49
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 3: No, but I admired, you know, I admired the you know,

50
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 3: manifest what you want dream beer.

51
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 2: True.

52
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 3: So we were traveling, me and my friends from school.

53
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 3: We were travel long way and they said, you know what,

54
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 3: you guys are spending your fortune coming, don't buy us

55
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 3: a gift. Yeah, so we which has been renegged. They've

56
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 3: actually said you've got a year now to bring the

57
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 3: gid to buy gift. So that's been reneged. But after

58
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 3: the wedding, I said, oh, how did you go with

59
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 3: the registry. Did you get a lot of gifts? They

60
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 3: had one hundred and thirty six guests.

61
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, thirty gifts.

62
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: Oh what do you think of that?

63
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 2: People didn't like being told to bring a gift.

64
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 4: They felt bullied.

65
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I reckon, Yeah, I think.

66
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 3: If someone says bring gifts, you bring a gift.

67
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: You sure they didn't slip them maybe the old envelope

68
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 1: and you just didn't see them.

69
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 3: No, I asked nothing. Oh so a lot of people

70
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 3: getting a free ride. It was a very fancy wedding,

71
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 3: very fancy dinner at a very posh restaurant.

72
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not an exchange. You're inviting people to

73
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 2: share in your day. We shouldn't be like a quid

74
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 2: proqu well, I would argue, some people think it is

75
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,839
Speaker 2: well they obviously think it is. I think people took

76
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 2: offense to being a gift being demanded.

77
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 3: I think the demand of the gift has actually turned

78
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,679
Speaker 3: people of the gift backfight on them.

79
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: Box of celebrations. Maybe the gift you bring when you're

80
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: told not to bring a thing.

81
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, So anyway, I just thought that was interesting and

82
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 3: I wanted to get your thoughts on her.

83
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 2: Well, and you didn't take a gift because you traveled

84
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 2: a long way.

85
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 3: Well, they're going to have a little barbecue in February here,

86
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 3: so me and some of my school friends will probably

87
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 3: do a nice little gift as a salad. We'll bring

88
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 3: a ladies plate, bring a plate to the right.

89
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 2: Well, thank you, Liz. That's a very Liz story.

90
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

91
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I would be a little a little

92
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 2: put out being told I had to.

93
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 4: Bring a gift, and I'd be a little put out.

94
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm probably telling you to bring a gift

95
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: and then you didn't.

96
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 2: Anyway, don't but you know this sort of yap. All right,

97
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 2: it's a little it's a little offensive.

98
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, Well.

99
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 2: Did they get that toaster?

100
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 3: No toaster, no pedal bin? They did get a jar

101
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 3: of jam and a spoon and a shower curtain. I

102
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:26,679
Speaker 3: just checked the registry.

103
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 4: Then, good lord, oh good lord, what a wedding.

104
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: Thank you Liz More from the Life of Liz Before

105
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: We Know It.

106
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 2: We just heard the story about her going to She's

107
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 2: just come back from a wedding in New York and

108
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 2: the wedding invitation clearly stated in black and white bring gifts,

109
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 2: which she found to be unusually forward wedding etiquette. You often,

110
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 2: you know, it will talk about a registry, or it doesn't.

111
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 2: Usually sort of, I mean, it's you go to a wedding,

112
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 2: you do take a present, but it's not usually so

113
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 2: blunt as to say bring gifts. And it kind of

114
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 2: backfight on them because out of all the invitees, a

115
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 2: very small percentage bringing gifts.

116
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: One hundred and thirty invitees only thirty, Yes, only thirty,

117
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: So we want to a low percentage actually brought a gift.

118
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 2: It was a low percentage, and I think it was

119
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 2: because they were so pushing.

120
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 1: That sort of puts you off, but especially if you've

121
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: traveled halfway around the world just to be there.

122
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 2: Yes, we we want to talk get your thoughts on

123
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 2: wedding gift etiquette.

124
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, what is the situation?

125
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 2: What do you think a registry is a good safe

126
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 2: way to go? Or should you say nothing and then

127
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 2: people will probably definitely bring gift? Or what did you

128
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 2: get at your wedding? Did you get anything weird? Did

129
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 2: you put registry and they went to something? You know,

130
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 2: you put bed bath table and they went to Bunnings

131
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 2: tell us? Did oh yes you did you end up

132
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 2: with too many it toasters? Did you get six toasters?

133
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 2: But if you put you know, someone get a toaster

134
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 2: on the registry? Although isn't that the point of the registry?

135
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: It's so that it keeps it keeps a tab, so

136
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: that you know what's already what's already gone.

137
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 2: The people at the place. Yeah, the David Jones lady

138
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 2: can say, oh no, they've already got one of those.

139
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 2: You could perhaps get the backer.

140
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 4: What what's the best? What's the best you got? What's

141
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 4: the worst you got? That's what we want to know.

142
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 2: Brendon from Harristyl on the Text has questions. Liz He said,

143
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 2: is the lack of gifts due to the forwardness of

144
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 2: the invitation or the cost per gift? Requested four hundred

145
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 2: dollars for a toaster eight hundred dollars for a kitchen bin.

146
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 2: The bridal party seems very entargled. Maybe hmmm, Brenda, and

147
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 2: I would suggest yes, yes and yes no, no offense.

148
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 2: Let's got to city Beach.

149
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: Hello John, John, wedding gift etiquette, mate, what's the deal?

150
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 5: I was at a wedding a couple of weeks ago

151
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 5: down south about New York. Is the amount of money

152
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 5: that costs you to get down sound? And they all

153
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 5: have They all had the wedding on the Friday, So

154
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 5: you're down there on Thursday, so you lost two days

155
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 5: of work. And what's expected. What I find amazing is

156
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 5: you're expected about four hundred dollars as a present. And

157
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 5: nobody says it, but that's what's expected.

158
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 2: It's unwritten, and you've already foked out for accommodation and

159
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 2: so on.

160
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 5: You've given it two days, you've lost work for two days,

161
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 5: and then you're expected to go to a recovery. And

162
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 5: I look at it and go, how far does this go?

163
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 5: And what I really feel sorry for is young people

164
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 5: who have young children and all the rest of it.

165
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 5: How do they afford it? I just look at it

166
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 5: and go, it's getting to be a bit ridiculous.

167
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: Well, they're going to rely on money from people like you.

168
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 1: I think they're going to get the guests to pay

169
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: for it.

170
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 5: Maybe the young people that go, because the young able

171
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 5: to get married.

172
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 2: Yeah.

173
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 5: And you look at the young people that go and

174
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 5: they've got children and all the rest of young children. Yeah,

175
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 5: and it's hard enough now with mortgages and all the

176
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 5: rest of it. I think everyone needs to calm down.

177
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 2: Do you think we need to bring it rainer back

178
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 2: into ladies, bring a plate for the.

179
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, and what happened to the old days? Alight, don't

180
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 5: get three toasters, but hey, the we're out sooner or later.

181
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: Always got one on standby. Yeah, I agree with you, John,

182
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: Thank you mate.

183
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 2: Yes, it's getting exy.

184
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 4: It's time to go back to simpler, simpler times.

185
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 2: Do you think that if if a couple expects you

186
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 2: to go down south or something like that, that they

187
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 2: should be providing your accommodation.

188
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,719
Speaker 4: Gee, that's a big call. That's that's a big call.

189
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: I suppose you.

190
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 2: Don't have to go. There's nothing that says you have

191
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 2: to go, but it's it's yeah, I never know, you know.

192
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: That's a big expense.

193
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, well it would be. But you know you're asking

194
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 2: people to fork out a lot.

195
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: Yes you are, which means I think we should be

196
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: backing off on the gift just a little bit.

197
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 2: Yes, one or the other.

198
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: My wedding would get anything weird. Well, it was really

199
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: really small wedding. So it was just in Kings Park,

200
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: just a small group of people, free parking, free parking

201
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: being King's Park, didn't have to bother about accommodation. Yeah,

202
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: one gift I remember.

203
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 4: I've got a bread maker, still got.

204
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: It's better than up on top of the fridge, still works.

205
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 2: Most memory of my wedding has been removed, which expensive therapy.

206
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 2: But the one thing I did one.

207
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: Went a little more successfully than yours.

208
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 2: One thing I do remember is my mother in law

209
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 2: as it were, well, the brightest pinkerst dress you've ever seen.

210
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 2: You could see it from space. Get out of my photos.

211
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 2: You seen hogging cow unbelievable.

212
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 1: All right, we're digging up bad memories here. I think

213
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 1: we've got to get out of the phone. I don't

214
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: know your mother in law in.

215
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 2: Law, wedding gift, gift etiquette, linder and gods alone?

216
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 5: Hi have you?

217
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 6: Well? This is quite funny, strange. I am a friend

223
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 6: I'd like a crop pop? I thought, oh, oh, that's

224
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 6: sorry about fifty bucks, no problem. So she said, oh,

225
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 6: and also, do you think you can put a cast

226
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 6: role in the crop pop? For the reception afterwards? Everybody

227
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,440

228
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 6: that is hilarious. Serious, Oh my goodness.

229
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: My record, that's clever.

230
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 2: And she ended up with thirty five crup pots.

231
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,079
Speaker 1: That is so funny, Linda, and started a catering business.

232
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 6: People. When I tell people who don't believe.

233
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 2: That that is really funny, thank you for sharing that

234
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 2: all day. Wow, that's right, Garline and your kind Hello morning,

235
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 2: good morning, went to your wedding gift etiquette.

236
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 7: So mine is when I had started a brand new job.

237
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 7: On the same day one of the other girls that

238
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 7: was working there had just come back from her honeymoon,

239
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 7: and so everybody was talking about the wedding and how great,

240
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 7: it was et cetera, et cetera. But what I ended

241
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 7: up finding out was that she actually went and gave

242
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 7: each of the employees there what she wanted for them

243
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 7: to buy for her. So she went to one person

244
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 7: and said, you will bind me this toaster, and another person,

245
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 7: you will buy me this, and they were so scared

246
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 7: they did it.

247
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 2: There were detailed instruction.

248
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: Should have had a staff meeting with a whiteboard. I

249
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: think she did a bit of a flow chart going on.

250
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 7: So I just I just think for weddings, though, I

251
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 7: think that it should be for something you can afford.

252
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 7: If you can afford to give cash, if afford to

253
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 7: give a gift, that's great, But I don't think anyone

254
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 7: should be forced out to do it.

255
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's where the old prepaid gift cards are so

256
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 1: handy these days, aren't.

257
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 2: They don't give you for a wedding gift?

258
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: Why not? You can get them like they've got an

259
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: Arcett silver bow.

260
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 4: On them and everything.

261
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 2: I'm not a big fan of I never have.

262
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 1: I am of receiving them. I'm willing to receive one

263
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: one of those pre paid visa cards.

264
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 2: I'll take a prepaid visa. That's what I'm talking that's

265
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,359
Speaker 2: what they are, all right, Thanks.

266
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: All right, thanks Caroline. Wow some people are some people

267
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: have very forward?

268
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 2: Are they very forward?

269
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:02,839
Speaker 5: Yes?

270
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean we should be talking to bridal parties

271
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 2: here how forward they get about the bridal party? You

272
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 2: will do this and where that. We're talking wedding gift etiquette.

273
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 2: On the text, Maggie says a friend is having a

274
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 2: destination wedding and they're paying accommodation and flights for everyone.

275
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 2: But Vincent says the whole reason for remote weddings is

276
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 2: to limit the guest list. If the bride and green

277
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 2: pay for the accommodation, then people they might not want

278
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 2: to family member. So that's two takes on that.

279
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, Pearl Gary got to eighteen clocks on his wedding.

280
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: Eight That's why the gift registry was invented.

281
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 2: Eighteen clocks and no toasters. Janine in Ballajura.

282
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 8: Hello, good morning, How are you good?

283
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 2: Good?

284
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 8: I went sorry, I went to a backyard wedding. It

285
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 8: wasn't a backyard as such. It was a marquee and

286
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 8: all very something. I was in my late teens and

287
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 8: the ride, I think thought that she would be a

288
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 8: lot wealthier than what she actually was, and back in

289
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 8: the day in the eighties, microwaves were filthy expensive, and

290
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 8: that was one of the top things on her registry

291
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 8: was a microwave and basically every electrical appliance that you

292
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 8: could say that that cat the kitchen that costs a

293
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 8: ton of money and not so bad because people would

294
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 8: chip in and go, you know, eat chairs in a present,

295
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 8: that sort of thing if it was too expensive for you.

296
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 8: The thing that really got me was that it was

297
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 8: a buffet meal. And there was probably about one hundred

298
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 8: and fifty guests at this particular wedding. The very last

299
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 8: table there was no food left by that last table

300
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 8: when they got to go up to get their chairs.

301
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 8: Oh no, one of the ladies was actually pregnant. So

302
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 8: they had to leave the wedding just so that she

303
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 8: could go and get some food, which I herself was

304
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:50,239
Speaker 8: absolutely disgusting.

305
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 2: Yes, have enough to feed everybody.

306
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 4: It does help, Yeah, it does help.

307
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 2: Yes, left that microwave meal.

308
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: Thank you, Janame, thank you your name, good day you

309
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:04,400
