Very silly. Hey, I just had an experimant in my sociology class. Well, a class discussion anyway. We were discussing social stratification and what types of marriage Americans of different classes could afford.
Married at home. Married on a boat. Married at a church with a big reception.
Then, realizing my chance to show the rich's ability to show themselves off, I suggested marriage on the International Space Station.
It costs $10 million round trip per person. So, $30 million, one ticket for spouse 1, one for #2, and 1 for Mr. Priest. Actually, it would probably be cheaper to do the ceremony through NASA's video link.
This doesn't include costs I haven't considered. I think the $10 million is for one person with minimal baggage. So, lessee, ya gotta have a cake, ya gotta have fine cloths,hmm.... Let's say the whole month of the marriage and the celebrtations will cost $50 million. I wonder how much the media will offset that to be the sole purveyor of the story - NBC will fork over a million or two, I'll bet.
(On a related note, the film was shite IMHO. They spent so much time developing the ape make-up they forgot to write a script. And Mark Wahlberg has all the acting ability of a block of wood <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" /> )
