Da da dadum…I’m getting married!!!!  I am so excited, if you couldn’t tell.  But one huge problem, I’ve moved with my fiancé to his home town, on the other side of the country, away from all my friends and family.  Planning this wedding is proving to be really hard and I could use the help of the girls who would have been my bridesmaids back home.  In all the bridal magazines I’ve read, one of the biggest things I’ve noticed is that not only is it great to have a bridesmaid to help plan the wedding with, but also if you have energetic and fun bridesmaids and groomsmen at the party, who love to dance and have fun, well, your guests will be encouraged to join in on the festivities more.

I decided to rent myself the perfect bridesmaid.  I went to Rentafriend.com, searched the profiles, and found two girls to hire as my bridesmaids.  Their profiles say that they love to dance, party, mingle, and generally have a great time.  One of them also said she is very organized and assertive, which will come in handy in trying to make plans.  I didn’t want to hire a wedding planner, I wanted to hire a bridesmaid, someone whom I could become friends with and really enjoy this experience.  I wanted to hire someone who I knew that on my big day I’d be proud to have as a bridesmaid and a friend, not just a professional.  Rentafriend.com has given me a way to meet and hire two great bridesmaids.  I’m tempted to rent a groomsman to infiltrate husband’s group of guys just to help get the party started!

Do you work in an office where you are the only one who isn’t married?  Have you become fed up with listening to your coworkers stories about their husbands or wives?  That’s my office, but I made up a story that I was married so I wouldn’t have to deal with the pity looks that scream, poor thing; he’s all alone, let’s set him up.  I told my coworkers (I’ve only been with the company for six months) that I am married!

Problem is we have this big end of the year picnic that everyone brings their wives and husbands to.  So, to keep my cover from blowing up, I’m going to rent myself a wife for the day.  But all I want is someone to appear as my wife.  I don’t want to feel uncomfortable that I’ve hired someone and they think I expect anything physical from them.  That’s what is so great about Rentafriend.com.  They have an extremely strict platonic only policy.  You go to the website to find individuals to rent, even a rented wife or rented husband!  But you absolutely can’t have any physical relationship with them.

Even still, I can go to Rentafriend.com and find a beautiful, smart, outgoing woman to hire as my wife for the day.  All we have to do is create the perfect cover story to feed to my nosy coworkers.  It actually sounds like a really fun challenge.  At the end of the picnic, everyone I work with will have met my lovely wife, and then my rented wife and I get to go our separate ways, no string attached, no pressure, and no stress.  Brilliant!

When I left for college one of my biggest concerns was that I wouldn’t be able to spend as much time with my grandmother.  She lives in a nursing home, and being her only granddaughter, she would love my weekly visits.  Her other grandson lives far away, and my parents have busy work schedules, so we developed a special bond.

Instead of being able to visit her in the home regularly, I call her every week.  But I can tell she is still lonely for actual physical contact.  So I did some research and found a website called Rentafriend.com.  On Rentafriend.com you can rent a person for whatever you may need.  Perfect I thought!  I can rent a “granddaughter” to spend some time with my grandmother in the nursing home.  On Rentafriend.com each friend for hire has a complete profile with different activities they are good at.  I can find someone who lives in the same area as the nursing home and who likes to play the same card games as my grandmother.  I can be confident that whomever I hire to be a stand in granddaughter or grandson is going to do a good job, not like some high school kid who is just trying to fill some community service credits.

I feel a responsibility as a granddaughter to be there for my grandmother.  To make sure she has some companionship, someone to share her stories with.  I still intend to call her as often as possible and visit whenever I have school breaks.  But with the help of Rentafriend.com I know I can hire someone I trust to spend some quality one on one time with her in my absence.

I grew up with my grandparents living close enough to see on a regular basis.  I relished the times I would spend with them.  They gave me the love and guidance I wanted, but without that parental overtone.  It was something special, different.  Unfortunately, my husband and I had children latter in life, too late for our parents to be a part of their grandchildren’s lives.  It is one of our biggest regrets that our children won’t have grandparents of their own to spend time with.

So, after much discussion we decided to find them a pair of grandparents.  Someone to teach them empathy and respect for their elders.  Someone to share stories about a time when cell phones weren’t a reality.  We stumbled upon a website called Rentafriend.com and decided to check it out.  On the website you can rent individuals of different ages for all sorts of things.  We got a membership and were able to start communicating with people we could rent as grandparents for our children.  We explained that we aren’t looking for someone to become a member of our family, but to stand in every now and then as grandparents, to simulate what it would be like for our children to spend an afternoon at the park with their parents and grandparents.  To have Sunday brunch with mock, rented grandparents and hear stories of what their life was like.

We know our own parents wish they could have been here, but that is no longer a reality.  We like to think that they would be pleased to know that through Rentafriend.com their grandchildren are getting to have a little bit of the “grandparent” experience.

Call me unconventional, but I think this is a great plan.  My 19 year old daughter wants to have a kid because she thinks it could be a great thing.  I’ve told her, that yes having a son or a daughter can be amazing, when you are ready for it.  And I know my daughter is far from ready to raise her own son or daughter.  Especially when that little baby grows up to be a teenager!

So I’ve decide to rent someone to be her teenager for a week to see if she still thinks she is ready to be a parent.  On Rentafriend.com I can hire someone for this specific reason.  I know I’ll have to rent someone 18 or older, not much older than my daughter, but since I get to choose who to rent I can be sure they can act the age appropriate to my needs.  My teenage rented daughter or son can teach my own daughter want it’s really like to have another person depend on you.

I can instruct whomever I rent that I want them to show my daughter what it’s like to have to provide meals, transportation to school and other social events, oversee homework, console when they are hurt, and discipline when they misbehave.  My daughter is stubborn and disillusioned as to how much I put into taking care of her, that maybe if she has to take care of her own teenager she may change her mind.  What better way to have her experience this than renting her a son or daughter to look after for some time?
