I had a couple come in to get car insurance. They asked about the discounts, and found out there is one for being married. Guess what they went and did. They went and got married. I personally wouldn’t go get married for a 10% discount.

Almost sounds like the plot to a zany broad-comedy and in the end they learn that they really do love one another and that it can't have a price tag. And it opens to a 53 million dollar weekend.

I had some friends do the same thing. The back story is that they had already set a wedding date, but needed to be married for something like a better loan rate or better insurance rate - can't recall which. They got married and swore everyone who knew to secrecy so that the parents wouldn't get mad.

Funny thing is that no one noticed that the official "signing of the marriage certificate" ceremony after the church wedding didn't occur. Kinda cool trick.

If the people who came to you only got married for a discount, well, that's insane. If they were going to get married anyway, well, that's solid financial planning :r

I would only pretend to get married for a dry-cleaning discount.

There was no pretend about this one. They brought in the marrage licence for proof.

Another one of the ones I like are the people that forget tickets and accidents. How can you forget that you got a DUI with an accident plus no insurance a month ago. How can you forget that?
