This happened six years ago, but my wife and I were talking about it today. I think we got facebook notification about it or something.
We were invited to my wife's co-workers wedding. She is very materialistic, not rich, but it's very important to her to act rich. She bragged about her expensive open bar before the wedding, often.
Bar served $12-$16 mixed drinks and beers were $8-$10. Open bar lasted about 45 minutes. I got one drink for free. After that, I had to pay. I think it was my last year of grad school. I ended up sneaking in some vodka in a water bottle.
How am I supposed to be impressed by the fact that I have to buy expensive drinks for myself?
