You have to say sex worker these days, otherwise the old prozzies get all upset.
like prostitutes, they get unwrapped as well.
perfectly fine if they do that. I wouldnt socially jinx my marriage over a clock though.
I wonder now. unlike brianjones suggestion of setting the times to 4’s. if they remove the hands of the clock, would this, by local logicstandards, then make their marriage timeless? maybe there is a glass half full option after all.
No, they don’t. You don’t open wedding gifts until you get home.
It’s not like a Christmas present where you open it at the party in front of everybody.
any wedding I’ve been to, the house is filled with family before and after the ceremony. call me crazy, but I dont want to play with certain fires. no matter how dumb they are 
the gossip here is not a joke, despite the sarcasm in this thread 
I’m gonna give everyone in Taiwan a clock for Xmas. If the superstition is kosher we should see a big spike in death rates. Nice little test. I’ll write a paper on it.

Well, things seemed to work out OK. My wife and I gave a monetary gift amount in line with this suggestion, and we tried to wait for an appropriate and discreet time to hand over the separate wrapped gift of the requested clock. As it turned out, we caused a lot of attention and picture-snapping when we handed over the wrapped gift (at the after-party when the new couple was mingling with the guests), but there was no discussion of the gift’s contents at that point. Who knows if there was gossip among the guests, but the new couple sent us a thank you message later with a photo of the clock, so at least the new couple is happy, and they don’t seem concerned about any superstitions.
