In the words of Snoop: ‘Smoke weed every day.’
A couple from California have hit a new high in the world of pothead weddings.
Not content with a cheeky post-ceremony spliff, John Elledge and Whitney Alexander had a purpose built weed tent at their nuptials in Oregon last month.
Like an alcohol bar, the weed tent had a variety of different types of weed – 13 different strains to be precise – as well as a dedicated ‘budtender’ to advise people on the perfect pot for them.
The move may seem risky, but John – who works as a professional marijuana grower in California (yes, that’s actually a real legal job there now) – told USA Today: ‘We were shocked, utterly shocked at the response, people loved it.
‘I’m still getting 15 to 20 texts a day from people saying what a life changing event that was and what a great experience it was to have a smoke tent there.’
And he confirmed that guests of all ages got in on the action, saying: ‘The oldest person we had in the tent was an 81-year-old woman who hadn’t smoked weed since the ‘60s. She loved it.’
Nora Sheils, owner of Bridal Bliss who planned the wedding, said: ‘People either love it – they think it’s such a fun idea, or hate it – they think it’s just disgusting.’
No prizes for guessing which side we’re on.
