just aint right. no mention of an open bar, i'd be cautious.

I don't know why you wouldn't do it. you get paid, they're going to have champagne and you'll be hanging with a bunch of hot ladies in wedding dresses, partying . it's all the best parts of a wedding without the snoozy ceremony. If I lived there I'd do it, and spend the $15/hr taking home a bride's maid in a limo!!

Please, this should be a joke. Otherwise... what losers!

I'm getting married on March 18, 2006 and I need approx. 50-100 people to come to my wedding ceremony and reception, since neither my finacee nor myself have any friends in the Boston area, and it's such a hassle to start flying people in from other parts of the country. Plus both our families think we have this great social life in Boston filled with lots of great friends. So we've solved the whole ordeal by hiring regular everyday people to dress up in their Sunday best and come to our wedding. It will be like you've known us all along! We'll pay you for your time ($15/hour/person) and you get to hang out in a swanky Beacon Street hotel for the ceremony (Christian) and of course you get all the food/wedding cake/champagne you can eat at the reception. We'll have a killer band, and we only ask that you look good and dress really nicely, since we want all the photos taken at the wedding to include our dashingly charming friends in Boston! Email with inquiries/headshots (if available).


this is in or around Downtown Boston

no -- it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests

Compensation: $15/hour/person plus five-star food and fine champagne

why would you lie to your parents about your social life?

[Sutter]

look at the op of the post, dudes, it's filed under talent/acting gigs. it's probably some casting call for extras for a small film.

i smell bull sh*t. ...$15 an hr aint that bad though and beacon hill is a nice area.

[Sutter]

damn right J dawg. get involved. what do you have to lose? your virginity? again?

[JMan]

^ haha......turns out i have a wedding to crash, been planning it for weeks now.

I emailed them that I'll do the wedding and my back story is that I met the bride in a diner in southie after a biggie smalls concert at the fleet back in the day. I'm a parachute stunt photographer by trade, healing up after a nasty fall in the everglades shooting the first human-parachute dodecahedron......I don't really like to talk about it....we lost so many good men that day.

I'll keep ya updated if I get any response.

I want full details regarding what her lower back tattoo was, how many bud lights she drank, and if she used her teeth or not.

champagne aint booze, and like i said, there's no mention of open bar. i've been to a christian wedding with no bar. for alcoholic heathans, dry christian weddings are no kinda party. but if they just forgot to mention the open bar - by all means go, you can't lose then, hehe.

and yeah - friggin losers!
