1. I voted for the Nob Hill Banquet.

Birds made out of fruit and alligator heads? What NOT to love!?

[ScreamingMeemie]

2. Me too!

Because you did. :hi:

[RevolutionaryActs]

3. Really you can go wrong.

There's even a throne! :bounce:

7. Oh, so that's where Posh Spice and Beckham got married

[RevolutionaryActs]

9. Wow, they look so young.

And ridiculous, but young. :P

[Ellen Forradalom]

10. Mostly ridiculous

but young too.

4. Vatican

Due to the "spacious" balcony seating.

5. The alligator does lend the "EWWW" factor to the Nob Hill Banquet Hall.

8. It brought my mind to a screeching halt, yes.

Was that for Steve Irwin's wedding?

[KitchenWitch]

12. I can handle a whole lotta fruit sculpture and all that foofy stuff

They totally lost me at the alligator with crustacean in its mouth...

6. Ahh, a Van Nuys reference!

It gets no respect!

[Rabrrrrrr]

11. OMG I'm practically choking on my vomit from laughing so hard - total Van Nuys tackiness!!

:rofl:

Oh. My. Fucking. God.

Seriously.

Total Van Nuys faux elegance.

15. Rabrrrrrr, my man!

So glad you showed up. I knew you'd get a charge out of this.

[Rabrrrrrr]

16. I got a great charge out of it! Truly tacky. I had to go look at them again.

Awful. Absolutely awful.

And I can clearly picture the artless tacky shitpiles who will rent those places out thinking they're being really upper crust and elegant, the diva bitch bride thinking to herself, "In your face, bridesmaids! You won't have a reception in a place this fancy! We have more money than you!", when all they're really doing is renting a more colorful and less vomit-on-the-floor variation of having your reception at a tavern with a fish fry for dinner served on paper plates and a pay bar.

[Ellen Forradalom]

17. You're from Wisconsin, aren't you?

The fish fry gives it away.

[Rabrrrrrr]

18. Totally! LOL.

:rofl:

[Ellen Forradalom]

19. Have some booyah with that fish.

More beer?

13. the very name Nob Hill requires that it deserves to win.

Nob Hill :eyes:

although Vatican has a certain ironic ring to it.

14. God, I love the Valley. (n/t)
