Speaker A says flip-flops are essential for wedding guests and even gifted them to the couple. Jamie Wolfer disagrees, calling it self-serving and arguing guests can just go barefoot instead.
I really, really care that there are flip-flops available. Like, to the point where for my brother's wedding, my sister and I got them the flip-flops as a wedding gift because I don't think they were gonna have them. And I was like, it's actually essential, it's actually a necessity. If you want people to be dancing their asses off on the dance floor, the girls gotta get out of their heels. It's like a requirement. Like, I'm not gonna be throwing down in my heels Not with these bunions, not in this economy. Are you kidding me? I need the flip-flops, and I'm not gonna bring my own flip-flops in my tiny little clutch that I'm bringing to your wedding.
I haven't seen flip-flops at a wedding in a hot minute. And when you say you bought that as a gift for your brother for his wedding, that's not a gift for him. That, that was you imposing what you wanted to have happen at his wedding. And I'm so glad that you enjoyed them and that you got a good use out of them, and I'm sure other people did too. But that's like, that's not a gift for him, that's a gift for yourself. And I think people can go barefoot if they really want to. Yeah, I said it. So? I care about your toe box, ladies and gentlemen.
