No sex before wedding, win $10,000
Engaged couples here’s a deal for you! People living in the Atlanta area can win $10,000 toward their wedding if they abstain from sex before the ceremony. It’s a "Marriage for a Lifetime" contest run by a Georgia woman. As part of the requirements, the couple has to have premarital counseling. Oh yes, no alcohol can be served at the wedding, either. Quite a bit for $10,000, but if you are a cash-strapped bride or bridegroom, it may be an option The deadline to enter the contest is Oct. 31. Oddly, (hehehe)
no one has entered that contest. *chortle*
Would you abstain from premarital sex for $10,000 toward wedding costs? Doesn’t the average American wedding cost twice that? What do you think about the contest?
Happy Friday!

My question is how are they going to prove that you didn’t have sex?
-
What the heck. I’d take it – a sparkling grapejuice sip with a bunch of strangers and I’m off to honeymoon with and extra 10K. We could have a short engagement, right?
-
I would wonder if she has her hands in any other areas of my wedding besides the alcohol. Who is doing the counseling? There are so many fuzzy areas to her contest along with Savvy’s question.
Interesting that no one has entered.
Have a great weekend.

I’m already abstaining from sex. Where’s my money?
Yeah, so I’m single, what, this Georgia woman has something against single people?
-
The idea is nice, in that someone’s willing to put their money where their mouth is. If it stops some people from complaining about how we’re all so immoral and greedy for a while, let the woman give away her money!
-
That’s crap. How can we let extremists (read the Religious Right, read Republicans) control what people want in their wedding with cash. That’s just wrong. It’s just as wrong as if someone came around and told someone they had to get it in like rabits and drink like nuts at their wedding for cash. Just ridiculous. Greed is just as bad.
-
What? Are they nuts? That’s so unfair. Extremes are bad all around. I’d bejust as insulted if someone said I had to get it in like rabbits and drink fire water at my wedding. Greed is Greed.

They totally need to market this to Mormons!
We didn’t have sex, there was no booze at our wedding and we spent about 10K! Sure we’re far away, but I would have made it work!!
And I’m not a right wing religious extremist. I have good solid family values, thank you very much.

There are a lot of people that would be perfectly happy with this arrangement: they were waiting anyway, they don’t drink anyway, and they were going to see a counselor anyway.
And it’s her money — who cares if she gives it away with three conditions? It’s v-o-l-u-n-t-a-r-y. That means it can’t be controlling or manipulative. These complaints are like someone on one kind of diet pitching a fit because someone else chose a different diet. If you don’t agree, then don’t volunteer!

I’m super late and I was thinking I’ve got will power, I could do something like that… until she mentioned the dry wedding. Not I said the duck. We gettin’ it CRACKIN’ at my wedding (years and years from now).
