I am going to a wedding tomorrow night of two of my classmates. There are several couples that formed within our class, and this is the first of the couples actually getting hitched.
Seeing as they are two medical students, I suspect that a large number of the guests at the wedding will be fellow medical students, or prior classmates of the bride and/or groom. Which puts the median and mode of the attendees at around 24-26 years old. (Not the mean, however - that gets skewed by grandparents and other elderly relatives) Okay, I am admittedly no statistician, but my guess would be that the average salary (mean) of the majority of the guests will be... let's just say not that high.
Does it seem petty of me then, to question why the cheapest thing I can find on any of their registries is a seven dollar spatula? I have a spatula. Three, in fact. They came in one package that cost me about a buck, if I remember correctly. Granted, mine doesn't withstand heat up to 500 degrees. But then again, my oven doesn't get that hot.
According to The Knot and Kohl's, you should apparently never spend less than $50 on a gift for the happy couple. (Quick math: $50 = 7 spatulas) Hmm. The Knot also recommends taking those college pals into consideration when you do register. I guess I should be happy there are spatulas on there at all. And THEY should be happy receiving a set of spatulas from me.

That is too funny. I guess I will have to be aware of these issues when I register for my wedding one day.
Yea, I was watching a show on wedding etiquette. They said it should be $25 a person. Which made no sense to me. Why wouldnt the lady say, "Spend at least $50 per couple"?
Have you ever been to a wedding where there was more than 2 people marrying eachother??? Two grooms and a bride??? Hmmm? Three brides, a groom, and one dog?
The lady was high.
Everytime the couple uses the spatula from now on (which better be a helluva long time, costing $7 and all) they will always think of you. Hahahahahahahhahahha.
Imagine 20 years from now:
"Who wants scrambles eggs?? I'll just get this handy dandy spatula I got from Brenna from back in the good ol' days! I wonder how Brenna's doing..."
Yea, Yea. Cool.
To them, Brenna = scrambled eggs.
Wait! Do people use spatulas to make scrambled eggs?
Usually people don't...BUT...that is only because of the melting factor. Brenna will buy the 500 degree spatula...heck...they can even make carmel with that!! You are a great friend Brenna...they are two lucky people!
