Are you people serious asking why they would spend that much on their parents? for one thing they're probably grateful for all the things they did for them and put up with when they were younger, but also because 50 years is a crazy long amount of time to spend with one person and I'd deserves that kind if reception. Some people are just fuckfaces FYL if this is true because that really sucks lastly, just because it sounds similiar to another FML doesn't mean it isn't true. don't jump to conclusions so fast.

Why would anyone get divorced after being together for 49 years? Seems fishy to me... FYL if it's true though.

If you can't get your money back then just re-theme the party and have a good time.
