Couple treats guests to 13 different weed strains at their wedding

WEST LINN, Ore. — Guests attending John Elledge and Whitney Alexander’s August 8 wedding were surprised to find a familiar, pungent aroma coming from one of the tents—marijuana. The happy couple had set up a smoke tent with an open bar and 13 different strains of marijuana for guests to sample with the help of a budtender, according to reports.



Guests were thrilled. According to Elledge, “The oldest person in the tent was an 81-year-old woman who hadn’t smoked weed since the ‘60s. She loved it.”



Perhaps the wedding treat wasn’t that surprising given that Elledge works by day as a professional marijuana grower in California.

I'd seen snippets of this article earlier. I hadn't clicked to see the why. Now it makes sense.

That sounds like the best wedding ever.

There was a huge debate on my Facebook about this. One lady thought all open bars, including a weed bar, are tacky.

I hope they had an open TACO bar too. With Doritos.

I'd seen this headline on other places but didn't look at it before now. I love that the woman in her 80s who hadn't smoked weed in 50 years was hanging out in that tent.

Yeah, my face too. She is offended by treating weddings like a "party that starts with a kiss."

I don't think I could sample 13 strains in one day, lol. I mean, wouldn't everything after the first be OMGTHEBESTSHITEVER?

ETA: yes, I'm currently stoned.

I could!  Lol.  You know, just a little taste.  The fun would be sampling strains based on what effect you're looking for.  But if the bride and groom grew it, I'd smoke whatever they said was the best.

These people know what they're doing. Shame they can only get married to each other once.

I'd say she's secretly a Duggar, but even the Duggars have open ice cream sundae bars.

That is someone who does not know how to have fun.

Does she think people should pay for their own drinks? Only wine of the tables? Dry weddings?

I love that this thread made it here so hard. The wedding was spectacular.

Dry weddings, because for her wedding shouldn't equal party.

Nope no tacos or Doritos. But the food was tasty and they served late night snacks. I had French fries and beignets - not sure if anything else came out.

Are you happier that it made it to CEP or the national news?

CEP! It's been on the news since Monday.
ETA: also I'm thrilled for the groom about the publicity in general because this will help his business.

Budtender. Of course that's a thing lol.
