Wedding Flyer
Sample tasteful advert

Shortly after getting engaged, we updated our status on Facebook to reflect this fact. Immediately after doing this, all the adverts changed to more targeted ones. This is not surprising or particularly evil, after all, if I tell a company I am engaged and they say "ah well, can I give you a flyer about these people's wedding service instead of these cheap phone calls" that seems entirely fair. But this got me to thinking, what will happen to the adverts when I actually get married? And so I composed this with the intention of making lots of jokes about how the adverts will change the longer you've been married, but I couldn't think of any jokes to be made about marriage that wouldn't be along the lines of "so, you're going to break up?" and that made me sad. So I resolved not to make those jokes, and instead hope that they'll send me an nice e-mail after fifty years (okay, a holo-e-mail) saying "gosh, well done you two".

Where You Take Part

You have two options in expressing yourself publicly on this site. If you have a new fangled blog type website (like this one) you can write what you want to say on your own site and link to this entry. I'll register that you've written something about it and provide a link to it below (this is called a trackback). If you don't have a website or just don't want to waste its time with me then you can add a good old fashioned comment. Fill in the blanks and press go to make your opinion heard among handfuls!

Caveats and the such

A few lines need to be said here. I'm currently a youth worker, therefore I have to watch how I interact with young people. Therefore if you're a young person whom I know through work you need to ask your parents permission to comment on this. That sucks I know, but it gives you something other than voting and drinking to look forward to when you hit eighteen.

All the views expressed here are opinions of whoever wrote them. They also are copyrighted to you under law. However, because you're nice by commenting on this you agree to have your views licensed under whatever creative commons licence this website is.
