A Black Friday Wedding

What did you think of this video? Do you think this couple had ulterior motives for having their wedding in line at Best Buy on Black Friday? Do you think the Black Friday sales are worth camping out two days before Black Friday?

What a strange video! This wedding is definitely one of a kind, but not in a good way in my opinion. On the other hand, this type of wedding may fit this couple perfectly, but I would never ever think of getting married this way. The couple probably had an idea in the back of their minds that getting married in line might get them some free stuff or better discounts, but I also think they would have gotten married this way regardless. I don't think any sale is worth camping out for two days in front of a store. I like to shop and save money, but that is just crazy! My time is more valuable than that!

I think this video was weird. I definitely wouldn't have my wedding while standing in line at Best Buy on Black Friday. The couple probably did this to get attention. I like getting up early and going shopping on Black Friday, but I don't think I would camp out two days before to get anything. I would have to want something really bad to camp out.

I think this video is pretty bizarre. I do not believe this couple had a ulterior motive to get married. I truly believe it was because of love. Not all stores sales during Black Friday are worth camping out for two days. You have to search around to see which stores have the best sales.

I think that the couple is crazy for getting married in line at Best Buy. In my opinion I would say that the couple wanted a lot of people to see them get married. And I agree that the couple was trying to get free things from getting married in public. I would not camp out two days for the Best Buy sale. The couple would have really wanted to go shopping and get the discounts.

Why would you want to get married like that? I think this couple just wanted attention. They probably were hoping for a wedding gift. They had money to go shopping, they could of put off the wedding and saved up. Weddings are suppose to be memorable, I think they just wanted publicity. I always go shopping on Black Friday, we don't camp out, but we stay gone for days.

I thought that it was funny, I mean I can understand that they don't have money ,but why in line. Yes, I would think that their motivation was to get something free or to get their 15 mins of fame. No, their not that big of a deal to sit in the cold for two days they lost their mind. They must either love to shop or just had no life to sit their for two days.

I think it's retarded to camp out for a sale. It's sweet that they got married and everything but that's kind of out there. I don't think that they would get anything for getting married infront of a store. I wouldn't doubt that they were just trying to get something for the publicity. These days, you can never know. People will do anything for a free-be.

This is probably the strangest thing I have ever seen. I would never do something like this. It's just not my type of wedding I had in mind. I think they did have ulterior motives for having their wedding at Best Buy. I really think that they were hoping for something big out of this. I like to shop a lot. However, camping out for two nights is a little much.

I think this video is just stupid. I have no idea if they have ulterior motives. Black Friday is good and all, but having a wedding in front of a store is just taking it too far in my humble opinion. If the deal is good enough, I would camp out on Black Friday. I would never do my wedding like this, because this is just too crazy, even for me.

I think this is an odd choice of a video for today's blog, however is it an interesting idea. I don’t think there were any ulterior motives; I don’t see why there would be any. I'm sure some sales are worth staying a couple nights’s however I'm not the kind of person to spend my money on something unless I have money to spend and not waste. I almost stayed at the school over night when senior parking spots where being purchased. I guess it all depends on what the item it is.

The way that these people had their wedding was really different. I can't imagine ever getting married in line at a store on Black Friday. I think that they had their wedding in line so that it wouldn't cost much, and so that Best Buy would maybe give them free things for getting married in front of their store. Some stores can have good sales on Black Friday, but I definitely don't think it's worth camping out for two days and wasting all of that time!

I think that was the most tacky wedding I've ever seen. I understand that they want to conserve money but I think they could have picked a better day. Why not just go to the courthouse? I don't doubt that the couple had some reasons for getting married outside the store on that particular day. They may have been hoping for their fifteen minutes of fame or seeking money from Best Buy. I love Black Friday but I don't think that it's worth camping outside for two days! That just outrageous!

I think the video was very weird and strange. I think the couple had ulterior motives because they probably wanted to get free stuff from Best Buy. I do not think Black Friday sales are worth camping out for two days because you’re still going up against other people no matter what. Also I think that it would be a waste of time, but that is my opinion. It would be fun to do if you like waiting and shopping.

That was very strange. They gave good reasons for why they wanted to get married on Black Friday. The idea of saving money to buy things for their kids was nice and thoughtful. Honestly I don't know if I would have gone that far. Getting married in line in front of a store is just weird. No, camping out at a store for two days just for sales is crazy. For me to do that the store would have to be giving out something really good for free. That is just too long!

I thought that I was sweet and weird at the same time. I don’t think this couple had and ulterior motives for having their wedding in line at Best Buy on Black Friday. I do not think that Black Friday is worth camping out two days before Black Friday. I found it sweet that they were saving up there money for their kids. Some parents would rather spend money on them and not worry about their kids.

I don't think it the cutest thing to get married in a line outside of Best Buy. I think they did have ulterior motives for doing this. In the video they mention their children and how their trying to save money so they can by then what they want. I dont't think Black Friday is worth camping out for two days for. However, it is worth waking up early for to get those sales.- Alia H.

I think this video is crazy.I don't really understand why you would want to get married on BLACK FRIDAY! Black Friday is a time to shop, not saying wedding vows,saying I do, and kissing.That's just in the way. I think they did have ulterior motives to get married at Best Buy.If they wanted a cheap wedding, They could have had their wedding at home or go to the judge. Some place warm!! I don't think you need to camp out for two days; Its not that serious. All you have to do is just get their before the stores open! that's what I did !

This video is wack, why would you have your wedding on Black Friday while shopping? They probably thought that they might get a better deal if everyone knew it was their wedding. No, I don't think that the sales are worth camping out 2 days for. Nothing of money value is worth camping out for two days to me. I definitely wouldn't have my wedding on Black Friday, but if I did I wouldn't be on the street getting married while waiting in line.

The movie was weird to the extreme. I couldn't tell you that question but they looked like they were in love or something like that. Plus they did say they were looking for cheap stuff so that wedding might have been the best thing they got. I don't think that the Black Friday sales are that important. I just go to the stores that I like to get the discounts that people give to customers. James St. Peter

I thought this video was creepy. I think their motive was the fact that they first saw each other on Black Friday, and just wanted to bring back memories. I don't think the Black Friday sales are that important. I've never in my life been to Black Friday. It's way to chaotic for me.

I thought this was a little crazy. I don't think they had other motives, I just think they wanted something cheap but creative. If they did have other motives, I wouldn't sacrifice my wedding for that. I would never camp out for two days just to shop. It's definitely not worth it to me.

Wow, this shocked me. But they said it's the best they could do. I know I would not do this, I'd rather have a "real wedding" no offense... But it's very strange how they do this in public. I think they wanted something out of it, this is very awkward. I would never camp out two days before Black Friday anyway... Very weird...

I think that you really have to be a money freak to get married in line just to save money. I think that they just really wanted to save money. I would totally camp out in line if I knew I'd be able to get everything I came there for. It's hard to get everything you want on Black Friday. Most people rush and get everything before anyone else gets a chance at it.

I think that it's there day and if that is how they wanted to spend it them let them have it. It is something that I would not do, I personallyt would not spend my wedding day in front of Best Buy on Black Friday. I just think they wanted the world to know how much they loved each other. I am not a Black Friday shopper so I don't think it's worth it.

It was a very stranger video to me.I feel like it was a very weird wedding to me.I think that it was the crazy thing I every seen in mi life. Who will have their wedding in a line of Best Buy that just stupid to me.No not really because its still going be stuff in the stores. But if you really want to get your stuff then I understand. But what they did was just dumb and out of their mind.They most really love each other to do something like that oh wow.

I think that this wedding was very tacky. I do believe that the couple had alternative motives. I think that they were thinking that Best Buy would give them free stuff. I don’t think that Black Friday sales are worth camping out. My mom and dad just leave at like twelve o’clock Black Friday morning.

This video of the wedding was strange. There is no way I would ever have my wedding like they did. That is just so tacky. I do think they had ulterior motives for their wedding at Best Buy. The Black Friday sales are not that serious to be camping out two days before.

This video is a little weird if you ask me, but maybe they enjoyed this moment. I think it was for publicity, because I do not think anyone woman would sacrifice a beautiful wedding day to get married at Best Buy. If you were to ask me this last year, I would say that, the sales were worth camping out one day for. Although this year I do not think that, they were worth camping out for at all. If this is real, then these people are insane.

I did not like this video because it was weird. Spending your wedding in the line of Best Buy is kind of bad I think. It should be a really special day and spending it in the line about to shop is not very special. Black Friday is not that important in my opinion. It is just an excuse for people to camp out in front of stores and try and get on television for 15 seconds.-Nick Powell™^▓²

To me I think that this video was kind of weird. Who would get married in a line outside of a store? I know I would'nt. I think this couple just wanted to do something different and did'nt really care how they got married just as long as they were together. I don't think that the Black Friday sales are worth camping out over but then again I never have went shopping on Black Friday so I dont really care. All I have to say about this video is different strokes for different folks I guess.-Cadeja Wilson

I think it was kind of weird. I think they wanted the publicity. I think they are crazy for doing that. I think the Black Friday sales are great. I just can't see myself camping out for 2 days just to go shopping.

I thought the video was very strange, like what kind of people do that. It just doesn't make since. I do think they had something else making them do it. Why would you want to get married outside of a store on a day like black Friday? I always go to black Friday, but I would never go to a place and camp out for d day. That's just too much.

I have to agree with Mrs. Bryant, this video is beyond strange! What would possess them to get marry outside a store on Black Friday? I know I wouldn't do that. Although, hey, if they want to get marry like that than that is okay. It depends on what you plan on getting from it. If the item(s) you want to get is on a big sale, then yes sometimes it is worth it but NOT two days!
