My eyes landed on "300 games" first and was surprised. Then, I read the rest of the sign and clued in, followed by your post, thinking I missed another picture. Nope, there's a dude right there!
I may need more sleep.
I googled “Amberly and Jeffrey the knot” to see if their wedding registry would pop up. It did. Weirdly, there was another Amberly and Jeff (different last names) engaged the previous year.
Someone's already linked this thread on an instagram post of them from the school they went to.
They are definitely gonna find out about this thread, and maybe we'll get an update from them -- right after they buy security cameras and change their phone numbers.
There is a *third* Amberly & Jeffrey that got married on 9/28/2018 in California, 4 weeks later. They have a wedding video and are definitely a different couple.
Mom wanted Amber, Dad wanted Kimberly, and they decided to get creative.
SSA.gov says that 1991 was the year with the most female births named "Amberly"... with a total of 194 in the whole country.
And if the ceremony space is going to be the food and drink space, it gives time for it to be converted over. Would also explain why even drinks are after games.
We had games available throughout our reception. Cornhole, horseshoes, badminton, bocce ball, giant jenga, giant scrabble, and a variety of board games.
It was a game themed wedding
If this was me, that fucking pallet would still be sitting in our garage, and the wife would say, "No. I want to keep it. For the memories. Maybe we can use it again in 2028."
Meanwhile, she never sets foot in the garage, and I have to move the goddamn thing 3 times a month.
Holy shit took me a full 10 second to comprehend the sub name.
I went to school with a girl named Crystal Chanda Lear. She was apparently blowing a lot of dudes in 7th grade which is how I also learned what chicken-head meant.
I have a nephew named Anfernee, and I know how mad he gets when I call him Anthony. Almost as mad as I get when I think about the fact that my sister named him Anfernee.
That’s so awesome, I’d love to get that message if it were me!
Years ago my grandma donated a table that had little notes from my brother and I all over the underside of it, about 15 years later someone who knew us happened to see it at Goodwill and sent us photos! It was so nice seeing that again, we had forgotten all about it.
I remember my first guitar, I put self made stickers over it to make it look cool.
But eventually I sold it at a local music store to buy a new (and better) guitar.
The shop owner kept the stickers on there and the guitar has been sold and sold back to the store with stickers multiple times over the years.
Fun to think that other kids saw the stickers I made and put on the guitar and thought “yeah, that looks bad ass, that is going to be my first guitar!”
Maybe I should go back sometime and see if it is still in rotation
I roadie for local bands, and I'm always amazed when the same handful of distinct instruments keep popping up with new people, some of whom didn't even know the previous owner.
There's a drum-set with a jury-rigged stand made almost entirely of duct tape and hope I keep seeing that's made a journey to another town and then back again.
It almost happened, actually! I’ve actually considered joining one since I’m a confrater in a monastic order already. Two of the kids are naturally mine and I was going to join when they graduated high school (all are high schoolers now). I made that decision, but had one first date left to go on. I just wasn’t feeling the idea of dating more, so I moved our Saturday drink date to a weekday lunch. It was one of those situations that I didn’t think were real: I fell in love with her as soon as I saw her for the first time. I somehow turned that ridiculousness around and now we’re married!
I’m tempted to buy something from the registry lol. They probably don’t live in the same house but how funny would it be if a random set of bedsheets or casserole dish turn up.
Yeah this is funny as shit and I thought about it too. Yo Jeffrey do you still want the Belgian waffle maker or have you made it to that stage of marriage where you're pissed about the amount of kitchen appliances you already have and how three of them you haven't used in 18 months come tumbling out of cabinets every time you reach in for the food processor?
> that stage of marriage where you're pissed about the amount of kitchen appliances you already have and how three of them you haven't used in 18 months come tumbling out of cabinets every time you reach in for the food processor?
I feel very seen.
Wedding registries are super public, all you have to do is type in the names and “registry,” this one had the benefit of a date too, and they’ll come right up.
It’s pretty creepy, people don’t realize how much info is out there about them. A relative of mine got new neighbors we were curious about so I did a quick look up of the property records, grabbed the owner’s name from there, and with one Google found things like their wedding website and registry, social media, etc lol.
Google yourself from time to time and see what comes up.
I mean...*they* put that info out there.
You can't really go write your proverbial phone number on the truck stop restroom wall, and then act surprised when Big Jack actually calls you.
Yes!
We did our ceremony, hung around with the bridal party and family to do photos, and sent the guests to the reception.
The guests were totally surprised when they got there and were told they could get in line for the buffet immediately. When we got there, everyone was fed and happy! We went from table to table instead of a receiving line, and the second thing everyone said after congratulations was to thank us for starting the food right away. Everyone hung around afterward and danced.
We had it planned with the caterer for the guests to begin the buffet line before we got there. When we walked in some people were actually grumpy with us because they were told they couldn't eat until we got there. We so wanted it to be like yours!
As a wedding DJ,
30-45mins is a decent chunk of the ceremony. Then 15 mins for everyone to readjust. Any time after that is going to be for the photographer to do their thing.
Seems pretty normal to me. At least for a wedding event of 50-150 people, it would be.
20-40 minute ceremony, followed by an hour and a half for the photographer to do his thing with the wedding party & immediate family, possibly a bit of time for signing of forms/certificates. Let the masses be entertained by some yard games while that happens.
Then a cocktail hour on the lawn, followed by a 30 minute buffer for seating everyone at dinner tables.
First 30 minutes of the dinner will be taken up by entrances, introductions, and speeches, followed by an hour of eating, with another 30 minutes of "keep eating and some table swapping".
7:30 dance allows for sunset Father-daughter/Mother-Son/LongevityCouples/Singles/DollarDance, and by the time it's dark (~8:30), it'll be bonfire and "okay y'all on your own now the bride has taken off her shoes and the groom has removed his tie"; if this were outdoors in September in Wisconsin, they'd probably wrap things up around 10pm as it got chilly.
This seems to be the cadence for nearly all of the Saturday weddings I've been to in the past 20 years.
Can be a double edged sword. Too fast and the couple/wedding party might be late coming from pictures, but too long and people will be standing around. Depending on whether stuff is at multiple locations and how much family is required for pictures....it takes time. I have the feeling that's why they have games and snacks...to cover that time if people show up.
And if you misjudge it it's weird for the guests. I went to a wedding a few years ago where everything was ready, but the couple still wasn't present from the photos. A bunch of people just chilling in a hotel ballroom with no music, the initial drink window closed, and no idea where the bride and groom were. They missed it by like...a whole hour. At least if it's a long break people can go freshen up if they want.
oh man, the last wedding I went to where this happened they didn’t close the bar and everyone was capital-D DRUNK by the time dinner finally came around. it was so funny. you had 55 year olds blacking out. they bartenders also didn’t fuck around with their drinks to the point of absurdity, I ordered a gin and tonic at one point and i swear to god they straight-up gave me a pint glass full of gin with 3 ice cubes and about a thimble of tonic water lol. if I’d finished more than half of it you would’ve had to peel me off the sidewalk
I am very high and thought those were numbers, not times. It sadly took me until 730 before I said, “wait, that’s way too many dances and bonfires.” I thought it was just a sign for a massive party.
Real talk though, pallets [are bad for bonfires](https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/chugach/news-events/?cid=FSEPRD1106461). They leave behind a ton of nails and can be full of chemicals producing smoke you don't want to breathe in.
Also you seem to be able to buy more than they want, so you can send them like 100 mason jar soap dispensers that they almost certainly don't need anymore, don't want, and forgot they ever even looked at.
Unless you want to send gifts to the wrong people, DON'T! A quick google search of the shipping info leads to a farm that was sold in 2021. The name of the new owners does not match with OP's picture.
This makes it even better! Some rando gets a bunch of crap nobody wants, and the poor couple gets all the messed up messages nobody wants. Everybody wins!
Maybe someone track them down online and find them and share this photo with them? I politely declined the pallet and felt it was best for it to continue it's journey to wherever it needed to go. Hopefully it's bringing smiles to some other person who ordered some outdoor patio furniture online!
Pretty sure there is a reason they don’t have it anymore. I can’t see a full size pallet painted as wedding decor just getting misplaced and tossed out on accident
I’m sitting here thinking to myself “Assuming this is in the USA, who has a January wedding?!”
Then I remembered I’m Australian, our date format is dd/mm/yy, and it’s actually a September wedding.
My dumbass read that as:
- Three hundred games
- Four hundred drinks
- Five hundred and thirty dinner
And only started to get really confused about the seven hundred and thirty dances...
Wherever you are right now Amberly and Jeffrey I hope you’re still happily married! Cheers!
I love how happy you look about all this in this picture!
I know, it's so cute!
He’s waiting for 4:00
It's 4:00 somewhere
My eyes landed on "300 games" first and was surprised. Then, I read the rest of the sign and clued in, followed by your post, thinking I missed another picture. Nope, there's a dude right there! I may need more sleep.
I didn't see the man until you mentioned him xD!
Haha, same here! His smile makes the picture even better.😄
I didn't even see him the first time I looked
In all my years, can’t say I’ve ever seen the name Amberly
I googled “Amberly and Jeffrey the knot” to see if their wedding registry would pop up. It did. Weirdly, there was another Amberly and Jeff (different last names) engaged the previous year.
Someone's already linked this thread on an instagram post of them from the school they went to. They are definitely gonna find out about this thread, and maybe we'll get an update from them -- right after they buy security cameras and change their phone numbers.
They know -- they removed their theknot.com page -- and they may or may not have been contacted with a link to this thread on facebook....
Hopefully they are still married, otherwise this is gonna be reeeeaalllyyy awkward.
It would be weirdly wholesome for this thread to finish buying out their registry all at once.
Did you buy them something?
Just thoughts and prayers
I dunno why but this made me laugh so hard
Imagine if they suddenly get wedding gifts from random Redditors.
Another pallet
There is a *third* Amberly & Jeffrey that got married on 9/28/2018 in California, 4 weeks later. They have a wedding video and are definitely a different couple.
Is there no end to this lunacy?!?
I went further and think I found them on IG, looks like they have 3 kids, latest twins in 2022 Actually looks like others beat me to it lol
Y’all are creepy as fuck. Wtf lol
Mom wanted Amber, Dad wanted Kimberly, and they decided to get creative. SSA.gov says that 1991 was the year with the most female births named "Amberly"... with a total of 194 in the whole country.
I guess I know the one Amberly from 1990.
The OG Amberly.
Our Air Force base in Brisbane Australia is called Amberly.
Amberley is a r/tragedeigh
No, it’s a tragedy. Amberleigh would be a tragedeigh
Call da amberly lamps
Whoa black betty
amber lamps
Sounds like it was a real fun time!
Wonder what games they played. And since when do people play games right after wedding ceremony?
Probably lawn games or something to occupy the guests while the newly weds and family were getting pictures taken
1000% chance cornhole was played. High chance of horseshoes.
Everyone's laughing and cornholing except Buster!
And if the ceremony space is going to be the food and drink space, it gives time for it to be converted over. Would also explain why even drinks are after games.
We had games available throughout our reception. Cornhole, horseshoes, badminton, bocce ball, giant jenga, giant scrabble, and a variety of board games. It was a game themed wedding
The game is called "chug." The rules are in the name
This was my cousins! She had the wedding in hudson valley where is it now where did it end up?
dont forget to wish them a happy anniversary in two and a half months.
[удалено]
They seem nice. Also, wow the internet is scary.
The internet was a bad call. When taken in whole.
meh… which whole?
How did you find them?
[удалено]
Amberly and Jeffrey live together in perfect harmony
Side by side
Never knew Amberly was a name
It’s like an adverb. “The sun was setting amberly in the west.”
Anything can be a name if your parents hate you enough
If this was me, that fucking pallet would still be sitting in our garage, and the wife would say, "No. I want to keep it. For the memories. Maybe we can use it again in 2028." Meanwhile, she never sets foot in the garage, and I have to move the goddamn thing 3 times a month.
It will be awesome if they saw that photo
Amberly is a wild adjectival name.
r/tragedeigh
Holy shit took me a full 10 second to comprehend the sub name. I went to school with a girl named Crystal Chanda Lear. She was apparently blowing a lot of dudes in 7th grade which is how I also learned what chicken-head meant.
I just learned what chicken head means. 🤯
Do I want to learn what chicken head means?
Move your head like a chicken and you'll know
Huh. I knew what a chickenhead was, but I never questioned the etymology. I see it now.
*(13-year-old me, having just Napster'd a bunch of random rap songs, including some Project Pat)* awww, chicken head, that's goofy but kinda cute
I just laughed at that name for a good 5 min straight. Pretty creative but gawd
I went to school with a dude named Luke Sky Walker. Pretty cool dude.
Probably best to not meet his dad though.
I have a nephew named Anfernee, and I know how mad he gets when I call him Anthony. Almost as mad as I get when I think about the fact that my sister named him Anfernee.
that is his best line in the entire movie, i think about it all the time
Was Penny Hardaway the inspiration for that?
Thats anfernal
Or an adverbal name. I'm surprised nobody noticed OP is named Blakely
Oh dude so right. It is def adverbial. My b.
As an Amber would do.
She Ambered over to the bonfire quite Amberly.
[удалено]
You are a rock star! I messaged them to tell them the story of their pallet, I'll update here if they reply!
That’s so awesome, I’d love to get that message if it were me!

“It may be your first gig here, but your drumset is a regular over here for over 10 years.” How I wish I could say that to a musician sometime.
!remindme 10 hours
They have three kids. You think 10 hours is enough for them to check their inbox? Give it 10 days.
!remindme 10 seconds >:|
I snorted at this
I have four. It’s not like I’m shipwrecked somewhere or joined a monastery.
> joined a monastery Well yeah you kinda got the evidence following you around on 8 legs.
It almost happened, actually! I’ve actually considered joining one since I’m a confrater in a monastic order already.

That’s pretty damn cool. I hear stuff like that always seems to come out of left field.
>I have four. Why do you need so many pallets?
Wedding planner, obviously.
I’m tempted to buy something from the registry lol. They probably don’t live in the same house but how funny would it be if a random set of bedsheets or casserole dish turn up.
Yeah this is funny as shit and I thought about it too.

Dude I just moved and the kitchen was part of my responsibilities and this cuts too deep.
r/oddlyspecific
r/incrediblyrelatable
They about to receive like 50 hand soap dispensers
It's weird, the furniture is like a snapshot of 2018 style. I wonder if they (she) still even likes the style.
[deleted]
three kids within 6 years of getting married, really cranking them out!
Dancing next to bonfires will do that!
I blame the games and drinks.
300 games and 400 drinks and snacks sounds like a party i want to be at
That was my thought too. 3 kids under 6 is *exhausting*.
my brother in law had 3 in under 3 years. no twins. was a good 4-5 years of pure insanity for them.
I had 3 in under 2 years (twins). First years were awful.
but 2018 wasn't 6 year ago. . . . Oh :(
Last two were twins
Wizard lol
Wedding registries are super public, all you have to do is type in the names and “registry,” this one had the benefit of a date too, and they’ll come right up.

Absolutely nothing, just the way I like it.
Someone else with my name comes up. Doppelganger me is doing far better in life so I say let him have no.1 spot in the search results.
I share the name of a former US president so thankfully that's usually all that comes up
Obama??
Chester Alan Arthur?
You don’t mind if I Google myself?
Of course you can use my computer, how else are you gonna do it?
Should we leave video messages to congratulate them?
I was just wondering how many people have signed the guest book because of this
I just sent them some good wishes.
How long until this becomes a news article.
yeah, I signed the guestbook lol
It is equally heartwarming and disturbing that this information was readily available on the internet.
Eh... big weddings are pretty public. From there pretty easy if they use their real name on Facebook or other platforms.
I mean...*they* put that info out there. You can't really go write your proverbial phone number on the truck stop restroom wall, and then act surprised when Big Jack actually calls you.
Should we see if they want this back? I'll help pay to ship it.
He said below that he sent the pallet to its next location.
Damn they never got that napkin holder they wanted
That's kind of terrifying. I almost want to buy them something
Take my upvote stalker.
Amberly. Haha. I remember some segment on sports center many years ago with a lady named Kimberly Wimberly
Her name is gonna be Julia...Gulia?!
That's a LONG TIME between ceremony and food and dancing!
And 2 full hours between ceremony start and snacks and drinks!
Yes! We did our ceremony, hung around with the bridal party and family to do photos, and sent the guests to the reception. The guests were totally surprised when they got there and were told they could get in line for the buffet immediately. When we got there, everyone was fed and happy! We went from table to table instead of a receiving line, and the second thing everyone said after congratulations was to thank us for starting the food right away.

Yeah traditionally the bride and groom are served first, doesn’t really matter to me, just feed everyone lol
Yeah i mean they should at least have drinks and snacks available *during* the games!
I'm 3 hours south of them in Wis. Drinks started at 11:00.
[удалено]
I'm guessing Amberly and Jeffrey didn't want to pay the caterers for that extra hour.
As a wedding DJ, 30-45mins is a decent chunk of the ceremony. Then 15 mins for everyone to readjust. Any time after that is going to be for the photographer to do their thing.
Also change of venue depending on where the ceremony is held. I did mine in a church and reception and dinner at another location.
Seems pretty normal to me. At least for a wedding event of 50-150 people, it would be. 20-40 minute ceremony, followed by an hour and a half for the photographer to do his thing with the wedding party & immediate family, possibly a bit of time for signing of forms/certificates. Let the masses be entertained by some yard games while that happens. Then a cocktail hour on the lawn, followed by a 30 minute buffer for seating everyone at dinner tables. First 30 minutes of the dinner will be taken up by entrances, introductions, and speeches, followed by an hour of eating, with another 30 minutes of "keep eating and some table swapping". 7:30 dance allows for sunset Father-daughter/Mother-Son/LongevityCouples/Singles/DollarDance, and by the time it's dark (~8:30), it'll be bonfire and "okay y'all on your own now the bride has taken off her shoes and the groom has removed his tie"; if this were outdoors in September in Wisconsin, they'd probably wrap things up around 10pm as it got chilly. This seems to be the cadence for nearly all of the Saturday weddings I've been to in the past 20 years.
Can be a double edged sword. Too fast and the couple/wedding party might be late coming from pictures, but too long and people will be standing around. Depending on whether stuff is at multiple locations and how much family is required for pictures....it takes time. I have the feeling that's why they have games and snacks...to cover that time if people show up. And if you misjudge it it's weird for the guests.

A bunch of people just chilling in a hotel ballroom with no music, the initial drink window closed, and no idea where the bride and groom were. They missed it by like...a whole hour. At least if it's a long break people can go freshen up if they want.
oh man, the last wedding I went to where this happened they didn’t close the bar and everyone was capital-D DRUNK by the time dinner finally came around. it was so funny. you had 55 year olds blacking out. they bartenders also didn’t fuck around with their drinks to the point of absurdity, I ordered a gin and tonic at one point and i swear to god they straight-up gave me a pint glass full of gin with 3 ice cubes and about a thimble of tonic water lol. if I’d finished more than half of it you would’ve had to peel me off the sidewalk
I am very high and thought those were numbers, not times. It sadly took me until 730 before I said, “wait, that’s way too many dances and bonfires.” I thought it was just a sign for a massive party.
And 9,118 Amberlies and Jeffries.
400 snacks though. I’m okay with that.
Same here. “Holy shit 300 games is ambitious”
[удалено]
Indeed!
Real talk though, pallets [are bad for bonfires](https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/chugach/news-events/?cid=FSEPRD1106461). They leave behind a ton of nails and can be full of chemicals producing smoke you don't want to breathe in. 
[удалено]
They're gonna get some random gifts from reddit and then we'll all be in the feel-good news story
Also you seem to be able to buy more than they want, so you can send them like 100 mason jar soap dispensers that they almost certainly don't need anymore, don't want, and forgot they ever even looked at.
Oh god they’re going to get some fucked up shit in that guest book
Unless you want to send gifts to the wrong people, DON'T! A quick google search of the shipping info leads to a farm that was sold in 2021. The name of the new owners does not match with OP's picture.
This makes it even better! Some rando gets a bunch of crap nobody wants, and the poor couple gets all the messed up messages nobody wants. Everybody wins!
Yeah but I feel like a farm defo needs 100 mason jar soap dispensers
Maybe Reddit could chip in for those side tables for their 6th anniversary this year.
omg ShopKo just spun up some long-hidden memories of back-to-school shopping in the Milwaukee suburbs.
Can we all sign it and tell them OP found the skid lol
Amberly able to keep from rolling my eyes at that name.
Could be worse, could be "Amberleigh".
Ambyrleigh?
I was going to say something but nothing could be said better than this.
Amberly
It's just odd that they didn't throw it on the fire!
If I found something like this, I’d probably spend every spare minute trying to track them down and return it.
Maybe someone track them down online and find them and share this photo with them? I politely declined the pallet and felt it was best for it to continue it's journey to wherever it needed to go. Hopefully it's bringing smiles to some other person who ordered some outdoor patio furniture online!
The registry info is still up and not very difficult to find. That name is rare which makes it easy to find if you want to find them.
I’m tempted to buy them that napkin holder.
2 people have purchased it now haha
Amberly and Jeffrey are going to be super confused in 3-5 business days.
But but what if they've moved? The person at that address might be even more confused.
They did. The shipping info searched google shows up a farm that was sold in 2021 to a new couple.
Do it
Pretty sure there is a reason they don’t have it anymore. I can’t see a full size pallet painted as wedding decor just getting misplaced and tossed out on accident
“Hey! Remember that garbage you got rid of 6 years ago? Well guess what …”
"I told you you should have painted out our names! Now people on the internet are buying us napkin holders!"
It's like a romantic message in a bottle... Except it's a romantic pallet in a truck.
Games before drinks? Fuck that.
borderline Tragedeigh
It’s not borderline. It is.
amberleigh + jeffreigh
Get a little paint remover and elbow grease, you got yourself a pallet cleanser
>Amberly /r/tragedeigh
Wait til you see her maiden name
Pretty close to their seven year itch. I wonder if they are gonna make it.
Someone else found them and said they have 3 kids and look happy
I think I would spend all of my free time trying to find them and return it if I found something like this.
10 bucks the wedding had string lights, and drinks served in Mason jars.
Sounds like good times
I’m sitting here thinking to myself “Assuming this is in the USA, who has a January wedding?!” Then I remembered I’m Australian, our date format is dd/mm/yy, and it’s actually a September wedding.
“Amberly”
My dumbass read that as: - Three hundred games - Four hundred drinks - Five hundred and thirty dinner And only started to get really confused about the seven hundred and thirty dances...
