I played this treasure hunt dilligently the entire time and tried everything in my plower to win a $1000. I tried so hard because I am engaged to be married this year and so far I have no money for the wedding. Well e-bay now all I can say is please give me a $1000 out of the kindness of your hearts so I can have a semi-decent wedding for me and my fiance. Thank you.

Um, are you serious? If you are that broke, then either 1.) don't get married, or 2.) have a simple wedding and renew ur vows when u have money. C'mon on now, you can't really be serious.

I'm serious I want a $1000 dollars for no good reason whatsoever. Just because I need it and I want to get married to the love of my life. So please someone who has a thousand dollars who wouldn't be significantly hurt by it's loss please give it to me.

I am a responsible one. I work 40 hours a week every week and so does my fiance. Unfortuantely me and my fiance are both college dropouts and stuck paying off a but load of debt. Right now we on the verge of bankruptcy because our debt is so tremendous. I am one year away from being qualified as a CPA but I don't have the money to finish school.

I want a simple wedding by the way. Just a small wedding in a rental place here in the town where I live with a reception afterwards. The trouble is we run a deficit of $250 a month and can't save any money at all. I could through the entire wedding with $1000.

well then file bankruptsy if u need to, and start over fresh, it will be hard, but hell, so is life. but i dont understand how u dont see how disgusting your "request" is. tho i'm not looking for pity on this.... but at 17 i was raped and got pregnant, i was alone, i left home at 15 and so i didn't have my parents to turn to, nor did i, i went thru my pregnancy with just a couple of friends that i had, i never went on welfare, no food stamps, no ANYTHING, just me... but low and behold, now i'm 20, have a wonderful little girl, i'm married, and my life is great.

You can't be serious! If you both love each other having money for a wedding shouldn't be that important! Go to Vegas it's cheaper!!

my point is, americans have sadly been led to believe that we can request hand outs and get them, that is why this country is so horrible. i love the country we live in, but hate how it has become. if ur that bad off, tho i hate to suggest joining the military to "use" them, but hey join up, we could use the help! my husband is in the military and i proudly support them

Hello I am a CEO of a well known company, to remain anonymous. I could easily jusy give away $1000 since it is just like change to me. I guess you just touched a nerve in me. I will be contacting my PR executive to find out if I can take it out of our charatible donations account. If not I will think about giving it to you out of my pocket. Just answer one question if I like the answer its yours. Why, if you knew that you were going to get married did you put yourself futher in debt? How do I know if you get this money will you use it for your wedding, weddings cost around $25,000, so what is a grand going to do for you?

Here's a suggestion, I got married this past New Year's Eve. We got married and held the reception at my sis's house, bought the cake and meat and deli trays from Sam's club, cake topper from Joanns and I did spend a bit on the flowers but all in all it cost less than 300 trust me all that will really matter is you and your fiancee. Good luch and I wish I had it to spare.

I would suggest selling your computer and save the money you spend on your internet provider. Oh and get rid of cable and for god sakes quit smoking!

lilredbutton081 · ‎02-24-2005

devil, if your reply is tru, and tho ur intent may be good, shame on u if u give the money! 😐

lilredbutton081 · ‎02-24-2005

u know how much my wedding cost? let me do the math... $50 dress, $40 shoes, $100 for both wedding ring and band, $5 garter belt, the flowers were free since the local florist knew me (wasn't expecting that), so um yeah, under $200!!!

As for the person who said I should declare bankruptcy. Did you know that first of all you cannot decalre bankruptcy on student loans? Secondly I legally took out that debt and legally I will pay it back if it takes me my whole life.
