Title: BTC/AnCap Wedding
Post by: CoinDiver on October 08, 2013, 05:04:59 PM
I got engaged this weekend (yea!) but it got me thinking. We've long talked about keeping the state out of our marriage. We plan on having a full traditional non-religious wedding. We are going to spend the next year negotiating a marriage contract. The ceremony will celebrate the signing of the contract, with witnesses and whatever. I'm sure there is some sort of an AnCap wedding vow/contract around... but I haven't started looking yet. I've joked about sending a wallet address and QR code out with the invites rather than registering for gifts. More than likely I will include that along with a traditional gift registration.

My ring will be made from an old silver coin from her country.

Anyone else have any ideas for incorporating BTC in to the wedding plans?

Including a small amount of BTC as a "party gift" would be great, if you could do it in a manner where they'd be sure to keep them. Leaving a gift card with a QR code on it attached to each bag of rice (or bottle of soap bubbles, nowadays) you hand out would be the convenient way to do it, but would likely just lead to many of them being thrown away.

How about her silver coin ring in reciprocity (assuming you're from the US)? I have this for sale for .75 BTC:
1905 half dollar
20mm inside diameter. Text clear on inside of band -
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (upside down) HALF DOLLAR
IN GOD WE TRUST ******* (upside down) 1905 ******

I can take a pic/vid, but it won't be high res (the best camera I have is an iPod Touch gen4).

Interesting idea. If only there was some sort of a service where the BTC had to be moved/checked/etc in some period of time or the money got sent back. Otherwise, I'm going to be out enough on this whole deal, I'd rather save the BTC for the honeymoon (rather than throw it away). I was thinking more like a QR code with the gift registry information, and maybe "www.weusecoins.com" under it. I don't honestly expect anyone to send BTC. I also don't expect many to have a clue what it is... that's really the point.
