This is what happens when people get apostrophe-happy. Table stands get very sad, and wedding guest’s make bad joke’s about wedding planner’s. But hey, as long as the happy couple still gets all their gifts, it’s no harm, no foul. No apostrophe should stand in the way of a bride and groom receiving their extra-large guacamole serving dish from Crate & Barrel!

Copy & paste this:
As a guilty apostrophe misuser, it is possible that ‘Present’ is a guest, with his own exclusive table. Right guys?!
naw.. if you look at the bottom part of the pic you see wedding gifts so yes it is indeed an error with the apostrophe.
My dislike for ill-used ubiquitous apostrophes is fully activated when I see this picture.
As the presents ought to have been sent or given prior to or after the wedding (it is actually improper to take a present to the wedding itself, where the couple already has enough on their hands), I prefer to think that the couple was optimistically assuming that there would be only one person to violate the rule.

The Green’grocer’s dau’ghter’s wedding’.
I love that whilst giving shit for a misused apostrophe, in the caption of the picture is a superfluous apostrophe on the end of “planner”. Well done.
also “guest’s”.
it was done on purpose, btw.
…and guests and jokes.
You might even say that the person writing the caption was being sarcastic!
Actually, the superfluous apostrophes are used 3 times in that sentence. “Table stands get very sad, and wedding guest’s make bad joke’s about wedding planner’s.” >> They were all intentional jokes
It could be that is the table for the present. They got more presents than they were expecting is all.
Damn it people! Solution: “Gift Table”.
Gift’s Table
Well if it is the same people, that is what they would put!
I work in wedding decoration/rentals and we always call it the Gift Table if there is one.
