Tacky? Yes. Convenient? Most Definitely

Filed in archive Marriage and Finance by Justin McHenry on July 15, 2008

Running late for a wedding? Worse yet, you didn't have time for a gift? If your wedding just happens to be at this wedding hall in Israel, then no problem:
Guests at an Israeli wedding hall can now insert a credit card into a machine at its entrance, tap in a sum and leave a gift for the bride and groom.

"It's new in Israel and the world," Aya Alon Kaufman of the Gan Oranim hall in Tel Aviv said on Israel's Channel 10 television.

Well, it may be new, but I don't think it's going to sweeping the world. Although maybe the country, if your country is Israel, at least according to this paragraph which taught me something I didn't know:
Rather than bring boxed gifts, guests at Israeli weddings usually leave cash or cheques in envelopes they slip into a safe placed at The Reception hall's door.

If I ever get married again, I'm just going to use PayPal.
