Master Card Wedding

You've got to love this guy.
This is a true story about a recent wedding that
took place at Clemson University . It made the
local newspaper; 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 family & to especially 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 stressed
that this was his gift to everyone, & asked them to open their envelope.
Inside each manila envelope was an 8 x 10 glossy of his
bride having sex with his best friend, the best man.
The groom had gotten suspicious of them weeks
earlier & 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 his best man & said,
'F--- you!' Then he turned to his bride & said, 'F--- you!'
Then he turned back to the dumbfounded crowd & said,
'I'm outta here.' He had the marriage annulled first
thing the following morning.

While most people would have cancelled 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 & reception, & best of all,
trashing the bride & his best
man's reputation in front of
300+ friends & family members.
