OT outrageous wedding requests?

You guys are experts on just about everything. Help me out
here. I just got a shower invitation and at the bottom
was the places the couple are registered. One was this one:

http://www.thehoneymoon.com/
They actually have a registry so people can pay for their
honeymoon! I thought I had seen just about everything.
I guess not yet. Is this OK? I know there is a lot about
this notion of weddings getting more out of hand but I
think this is over the edge. What do you guys think?
Thanks, Taria

This really does take the (wedding) cake! My DH and I paid for our own
honeymoon (got a bargain I'll admit but we still paid) as well as a lot of
the stuff for the wedding itself. We didn't provide a registry but we did
give his DSM a list of "we'd likes...".

Howdy!
Give them a traditional gift: an iron--
upside the head!

No, it's not OK to ask for handouts like this,
no matter how common it's becoming; they
are "common" for asking.

I can top this one Taria. I hate to admit this, but this was in my nephews
invitation. This was done by the bride's parents come to find out.

They cut out a picture of a house and requested donations for the house
fund................

Hmmmm. Not sure what the question is here. Do I think that is in good taste?
No. I do not.
Would I be offended? No I would not. At least half of the wedding
invitations we receive are from couples we only know as the offspring of far
away friends and relatives. I enjoy knowing what they would like to have.
Contributing to their honeymoon fund sure beats receiving a swatch of their
sofa so I can make them a quilt. I'm not going to get on my soap box
tonight, just wanted to cast my vote. Polly

A registry to pay for the honeymoon (or the reception) is TTFW!
(Too Tacky For Words.)
Just my never humble opinion.

IMO that is over the edge.

We didn't ask for anything. We've already got a house full of too much
already. What we really need is a place to put it all.

Quite honestly, I prefer a quiet little note that says we aren't asking for
anything except your blessings and good wishes.

Along with the wedding on New Year's Eve, I also graduated from college last
May. I would have just died if my great aunt had gone out of her way to buy
a gift for me she couldn't afford. I wrote a little note that said that I
didn't need anything, I just wanted her to share my joy. She sent me a
congratulatory card. It was enough.

I lost her in November.

Good grief. This almost beats out what was the "custom" in Erie, Pa when we
lived up there. The bride and groom would have tickets printed up months
before the wedding and sell these "50-50" chances! They would have a
drawing at the reception. What it did was help the families PAY for the
wedding! Some bold brides would even try to get "friends" to sell the
tickets for them. needless to say, we always declined.
I always thought this was the tackiest thing I had ever heard of, until
this honeymoon thing! LOL If you can't afford a wedding OR a honeymoon,
then guess what? DON'T get married!
Yep, I agree; buy them an iron!
