@SanFranLefty: I described it as "interesting" because I couldn't think of a better word. Bizarre? Surreal? Fucked up?

No Googling needed here: I can already diagram that he's an Eastern-Euro (Bulgarian? Serbian?) overachiever who went to Stanford, with a family who mercilessly flogged him to excel since Day 1 and "only kissed him in his sleep." No idea what Björk-circa-Sugarcubes' trip is, but I'd friendly warn her about hitching her life and business wagon to an Eastern-Euro dude. The relatives will drive you MAD, lady! But if said dude pulls a Sergey Brin, it might be worth it.. Nazdrave!

@snugbug: Drue does thus thing where she makes traditional Japanese ink wash drawings of tech executives and has some sort of thing about looking for zen buddhism within Silicon Valley c-suites.

In all of her videos, she looks likes she's 6'3" which either means the mister is 7'2" and got into Stanford on a basketball scholarship or most silivalley tech execs are like 5'2". Or both.

Also? I'm still not convinced that Drue isn't a gender illusionist. This wedding is inclusive in that regard.

Here in Newark's North Ward (home of the late Anthony Imperiale and Calandra's Bakery), the bride is expected to march through the reception as guests stuff money into her pink satin "money bag." Much more to the point, don't you think?

@Duck_Lips: That's a time-honored Italian tradition and the satin fabric brings it class! The Jewish do the same thing--they write checks instead--and it is done face-to-face and with the same fun and deep affection.

The bride feels the love. That's the key. That's how you give a gift. This begging nonsense these kids are pulling? Come on.

@BookishLookish: This couple definitely lacks soul, 'tis true. And I, for one, second the head smack, a head which looks, suspiciously, much too large for her body.

Oh, for the love of Pete! "Creativity and imagination"? Don't you just want to smack her upside her faux-Louise Brooks head?

If you tech-y children get any more vulgar and self-involved, I am going to have to start hunting humans.

Wow! What a great idea, especially since when you google Aboomba you find nothing about it except for a seemingly endless number of stories about the wedding scam registry. Perhaps it’s a social-networking site or a social-networking site combined with a wedding registry site or a new programming language for social-networking-site developers.

I did, however, discover that these assclowns haven’t even registered their Aboomba as a trademark -- ooooops! So, someone should, instead of giving them money, trademark the name Aboomba now, and then give it to them as a wedding present, or not, and ruin their wedding!

what's with all the praise their commenters are giving them for their "creativity" and "uniqueness"?? They're BEGGING FOR CASH. I get that 5 times a day on the way to work.

Nothing makes me break out the glue gun, glitter and construction paper for that one-of-a-kind homemade wedding gift faster than a plea for money from the happy couple.

Just register like everyone else does and return the gifts for cash, you insufferable twats.

Do the wedding contributors get to own a piece of the company, like real VCs? They didn't bother to explain that in the video.
