As an event planner, I plan many weddings. With each wedding I plan it seems that the crowd gets more and more interesting. It’s not the bride that makes the weddings unique, but the guests. However, with all of the differences there is one consistent theme through all weddings; that men single and married are there to meet women.
The past month I received my fair share of horrible male pick up lines. There are two however that are especially note worthy. The first being “Every wedding I attend I make it a point to go home with someone, I was thinking this wedding it should be you”. Do you think that line had worked on some poor female at a previous wedding? How much alcohol would you need to ingest to think that was cute? I am all about using a wedding as a great place to network and meet people, but REALLY! Where do men get off thinking that a line like that could actually work? Maybe if he had laughed after saying it we could have all thought it was funny and moved on, but to hold a straight face and wait for a response is completely ridiculous. I just wonder if the roles were reversed, and I walked up to him with a line like this would he have said “cool let’s get out of here” or would he have thought I was a complete moron?
If you are awaiting my response it was simply “Do you live in town?” He said “Yes”. I then said “Sorry, our only chance would have been if I knew I would never run into you again”. I however, do give him props for getting straight to the point! I do like a man that can cut straight to the chase.
The next weekend’s wedding got even better. Now there is much to be discussed about this wedding. It actually deserves its own posting…maybe tomorrow. Amongst many crazy comments, at this wedding the pickup line was a classic! “Why won’t you talk to me? I run a billion dollar company…Google me!” Google Me…is he serious? Unfortunately, he was very serious. He could not understand that despite his wife and kids at home that I would not be interested in him and if for nothing else the fact that he runs a billion dollar company. Why would you want a woman to talk to you solely for this reason? Is the real question you are asking me not “why won’t you talk to me”, but “why won’t you spend my money”? If Googling him was the deciding factor, then wouldn't in fact my only motivation be to spend the man’s money? In which case I say; if you are looking to pay for “it” there are easier ways than trying to pick up your sister’s wedding planner! It is times like this I say to myself “If this is a husband, I am so glad I don’t have one!” Give me Manolos, they’ve never let me down!
Oh and ladies if you’re wondering; of course I Googled him…he does run a billion dollar company:)
