I saw this Saturday afternoon on a Metro bus. The first reaction I had was one of disgust. The second reaction I had after dwelling on it for a while is one of annoyance. With the price of a wedding lingering around $30K, companies like E.E. Robbins have to compete with a multitude of other businesses. Since the economy started heading downhill, people are tightening their hold on their wallets and the guilt card is being played in a bid to maintain sales. “Sort of happy” indeed.
