MASTERCARD WEDDING You gotta love this guy... This is a true story about a recent wedding that took place at Clemson University. It was in the local newspaper and even Jay Leno mentioned it. It was a huge wedding with about 300 guests... After the wedding at the reception, the groom got up on stage with a microphone to talk to the crowd. He said he wanted to thank everyone for coming, many from long distances, to support them at their wedding. He especially wanted to thank the bride's and his family and to thank his new father-in-law for providing such a lavish reception. As a token of his deep appreciation he said he wanted to give everyone a special gift just from him. So taped to the bottom of everyone's chair, including the wedding party, was an envelope. He said this was his gift for everyone, and asked them to open their envelope. Inside each manila envelope was an 8x10 glossy of his bride having sex with the best man. The groom had gotten suspicious of them weeks earlier and had hired a private detective to tail them. After just standing there, just watching the guests' reactions for a couple of minutes, he turned to the best man and said, "F--- you!". Then he turned to his bride and said, "F---you!". Then he turned to the dumbfounded crowd and said, "I'm outta here." He had the marriage annulled first thing in the morning. While most people would have canceled the wedding immediately after finding out about the affair, this guy goes through with the charade, as if nothing were wrong. His revenge...making the bride's parents pay over $32,000 for a 300 guest wedding and reception, and best of all, trashing the bride's and best man's reputations in front of 300 friends and family members. This guy has balls the size of church bells. Do you think he might get a MasterCard "priceless" commercial out of this? Elegant wedding reception for 300 family members and friends ..$32,000. Wedding photographs commemorating the occasion ... $3,000. Deluxe two week honeymoon accommodations in Maui .. $8,500. The look on everyone's face when they see the 8x10 glossy of the bride humping the best man..........Priceless. There are some things money can't buy, for everything else there's Mastercard!
June 02 2005 at 05:04PM Varazdin - Doctors had to be called to separate the bride and the best man after they were caught in the act during a wedding in Croatia. The couple were trapped together because of a muscle spasm, which was brought on after a friend of the groom walked in on them having sex in the toilets. Unable to be pulled apart, the couple had to endure a procession of wedding guests who came to see what they had been doing before doctors arrived. Unable to help, they had to transport the pair on a stretcher to the local hospital, where the bride was given an injection to relax her muscles, allowing the best man to get free. The wedding party in Varazdin, Croatia, continued after the groom announced the celebrations were to mark his divorce rather than his wedding, reported daily Slobodna Dalmacija. - Ananova.com
I've also heard versions of similar stories in different countries. This is either an urban legend or too many "best men" are hitting on the brides and getting caught ! It's a good one anyway....
Yea, I think this story tends to 'pop up' from time to time. I heard about this probably a year or more ago for the first time. Then my friend mentioned it this past weekend saying it was just discussed on the radio. So who knows if its true or not. But it is very believeable.
http://www.snopes.com/weddings/embarras/bothered.htm Seems to have been around since at least 1985 - perhaps the heyday of legends spread via fax - can't remember exactly when the Gere+Gerbil=Guffaw thing hit, but, what the hey... Beyond the legend references, scroll to footnotes... at least one version is featured in a book entitled "The Best Book of Bizarre But True Stories Ever" - now, whether that book is entirely accurate or not is anyone's guess.
