Make sure you wait until it's a done deal though.


In all seriousness, the chance of a celebrity showing up for your wedding isn't just slim...it's ZERO. There is absolutely no way such a thing would happen. Honestly, don't you figure these people are probably pretty busy? Or, even if they aren't, do you really think they'd go to the trouble of traveling to attend the wedding of someone they don't even know just so you can look at pictures in twenty years? I don't mean to be rude but this is just absolutely absurd.

Yeah, and so is your avatar, so what? Just kidding.. maybe.. :) Actually, it's pretty funny.. I guess.. heh..

Anyways, yes, I've acknowledged all of the above throughout this thread. It's just this extremely longshot thing I'm trying. I'm positive it's not going to work. I'm not that naive. I know they're busy. I know they don't even know me or my fiancee. But I'm going to try regardless. Thank you.

Good for you.

To the folks who are telling him to do it b/c there's no chance, haven't you ever done something even though you knew there was no chance it would work? As long as there's nothing to lose, who gives a shit really? I say go for it, you never know until you try.

Thing is that no celebrity in their right minds would do this as it would *bury* them under wedding request appearances when word of this kinda crazy thing got out. I mean really guy, this isn't even longshot territory.

You're right, this isn't even in the longshot category. I'm actually more likely to get struck by lightening 78 times after winning the lottery 8 times, and then annihilating the world with my army of nuclear penguins ....than actually having celebrities show up at my wedding. BUT I WILL TRY!

Just read Justin Bailey's post. He's got it. :)
 
For a small fee, I might be able to arrange a personal appearance by The King of Rock himself Elvis Presley...

Just let me know if you're interested.

It's not going to happen. Your only chance of doing something like this is going through a talk show or local radio show host and trying to get a celebrity to give your fiancee a call or something like that. The bigger problem is that you're being very immature about this.

Why would they do this for you? Well either you or your fiancee need to have done something special. It's not that celebrities are mean or snobbish people -- it's that they're regular people too. I guarantee you that there have been times when they've missed weddings or important events of good friends or family, when they've wanted to go to but were unable to due to professional engagements. I guarantee you that at the end of the day, they still enjoy their time at home where they're just a regular person rather than a celebrity.

In terms of "something special," the lengths to which you will go to in order to impress your fiance (such as this) might have a leg to stand on. Getting celebrities to come to your wedding should be the icing on top of a meticulously crafted cake. But you're not even willing to spend $12.95 for a month of IMDb Pro to start. That's not a vote of confidence and because of this, the feeling I get is that you're not doing this for your fiancee, but more for yourself and the desire to impress your fiancee and gain bragging rights. Your fiancee is a fan of these celebrities, but that doesn't necessarily mean that she'll want them at her wedding.

Think this through. All of it.

I think having a movie star at your wedding is a great idea. That way, she can be preoccupied with them instead of you! you could turn up not even wearing pants.

If having celebrities would make your fiancé enjoy the wedding more... well, shit man, bail out now. I can't even fathom why you would want to have them there, or why you think that would make the day more special for her. "Hey, some people I've seen on TV are at my wedding! Now this is a special day!"
 
to the make-a-wish advocates in this thread: not gonna happen. make-a-wish is strictly for people under the age of 18 who are clearly on their last breath.

even i, incognito, was turned down a wish. how dare they.

Ugh. It's tiring of having to defend myself with every post. Guess that means I must be going down the wrong path, eh? Cause the masses are always correct, aren't they? :D

I'll just start with the part that annoys me most, which is in bold. As I've stated eight thousand times in my posts above, I realize that I have no chance of achieving this goal. I know this. This is why I'm not willing to pay even $13 for something that is not going to happen. Why should I? It's not worth it. I've already found some addresses (snail and email), so I might as well just try those instead of having to pay for some.

And yes, celebrities are real people too, and they're not here just to "service" us. Once again, I realize this. I won't argue against that, because I agree with it. And why the hell why would they want to come to our wedding? They would have no reason too. Sure, it would make a few people in the middle of sticktown, Pennsylvania happy, but that's not really a good enough reason for them, I'm sure. That's not a good enough reason for anyone, really.

Would my fiancee want these celebrities at our wedding? I'm not entirely sure, but I think so. It's something I'm just throwing out there to magically work. I'm not talking about dozens of celebrities either, because then they'd be taking over the wedding. Just one or two. But I am pretty confident that she'd be "pleasantly" surprised if they were there. No one would be expecting that.

And lastly, am I being immature about this? Most likely.. but I'd like to call it "hopeful" instead of immature. :D

I'm ending this thread now. It's not why I had in mind when I first started this up. All I was doing was asking if anyone had any information, and that's it. I didn't want anyone's personal critique of my maturity, or dozens of criticisms. Actually, those dozens of posters just throwing criticisms around is a bit more immature than I am (if that can be believed, I guess, hahah!), anyways, if you ask me (not referring to you, GXAlan, your post was actually well-written and thought out. Probably the only post in this entire thread to be so). However, being an Internet message board, I certainly should have expected that (although I guess I did, anyways). It's time to head out into the sunset..

The End.

From my prior job I have this ability, I'm a skip tracing expert.
I had to track people down all over the US.
Out of curiosity I found
Eminem's
Jay-z
Nas

quite a few other high profile celebs addresses.

I never sent them material but for a fee I can help.

I'll need the real first and last name of anyone you wish to find, not just a stage name.
 
Give me 10 bucks and I'll show up and pretend to be Keanu Reeves. Sure I look nothing like him but I'll fool them by staring at nothing and saying "Woah". :D

I think at the end of the day, it boils down to this. You are immature in that you're not taking a stand and are doing a sloppy job. You're not putting in any effort. Think about how much preparation and effort is going into pulling this wedding off: The taste tests for the food at the reception, choosing who to invite, where to seat them, who to photograph?

One part of you is telling yourself that "I have no chance of achieving this goal" and one part of you wants you to try this on the 1 in a ba-zillion chance that it works. Decide which one you want to do. If you don't think you have a chance, then don't do it.

If you want to go for it, then don't do half-a-job and leave it up to chance. Do everything you can possibly do to make that 1 in a ba-zillion chance into a 1 in a billion chance, or at the very least, try at least $13 worth of effort.

Back in the day, the running joke w/GX-Soso was his desire to meet a famous K-Pop star but he ended up pulling it off by becoming one of the top Starcraft gamers in the world.

You don't have such an angle, and so you're only hope is to go with the "this is how much I love my fiancee" route and then through the local radio show or a popular TV talk show. You gotta plan it through. It's not just about going all out on money but going all out on effort. If you're lucky, you will be able to pull off the "this is how much I love my fiancee" route, and if you're really lucky, in the process of doing all this, maybe you'll find out that one of your other ideas to profess your love for your fiancee ends up being way cooler than any celebrity guest would have been.

I don't believe immaturity has anything to do with this, really. Maybe slightly, but not a real factor. I'd rather not pay anything and put much time into this, because, like I said before, I don't expect it to happen, but if it does, great. That's all I'm looking for. I never planned to really get into this and put tons of effort into trying. I apologize if I made it sound like a huge priority of mine, but it isn't. It's something that would be nice if it happened, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it if it doesn't.. and I'm not going to lose any sleep over trying to make it happen. I love my fiancee very much, and I don't believe that my lack of trying for this detracts from my love of her. Not in any way. This is just a "if it happens, it happens. Yay." type thing.

But I do appreciate the things you've said, even if they were somewhat harsh. That's alright. I will think about some of the things you've said in your posts, and consider some of them. I will put deep thought into this, and see if I REALLY want them there, and if I do, I'll take your advice and blow $13, and try other things. :D I do appreciate your help, though. Thank you. You've made me realize that maybe I should either put more major effort into this, or just drop it.
