In our previous post on this topic, we linked without comment to a wedding ceremony at Wal-Mart. But the folks at Stay Free Magazine blog feel the need to amuse themselves at Associate expense:
In recent years Wal-Mart has hosted dozens of its employees' weddings. My heart breaks for Beverly McCutcheon, who got married at an upstate New York store. She has so internalized Wal-Mart's draconian labor policy that is almost seems romantic that her friends are economically imprisoned at work during normal wedding hours....I personally think getting married in a Wal-Mart is silly, but no sillier than having Elvis as officiant, or worrying that 4 lbs. of shrimp per person isn't enough at the cocktail hour, or having a horse and buggy pull you across the park, or insisting that on the superstretch Hummer limo, or the very concept of matching, ugly, one-time-use bridesmaid dresses...Yes, why follow up the ceremony on the happiest day of your life with camraderie and dancing when everyone can just get back to work and you can pick up a new garden hose.
Question: Men, what would you do if your wife had secretly arranged you to be married at Wal-Mart?
