All I can guess is that’s someone’s wedding tour. Can I read about it somewhere? Was this invitation-free party or something? I mean who makes tours, yet alone shirts with such graphics! Reminds me of Corpse Bride teehee
The first date on the back is Halloween, so that’s clearly where the inspiration for the design comes from.
I don’t think you’ll find anything directly on the internet. The most promising approach would probably be to find a wedding registry in Buffalo NY and then look for October 31st 2009.
Boston and maybe even Essex could have been for visiting relatives/friends (or they initially met each other in Essex and wanted to re-visit that place too?); Qatar might just have been a layover for flying to the Maldives where the honeymoon finally took place. (Maybe November 28th was the last day and they decided to print that in order to frame the whole journey with start and end dates.)
I found the same skeleton on this T-Shirt: KKUP Radio 91.5 FM The Grateful Dead Marathon 2013, I can’t find the original artist, it could be that this was a stock image that was readily available for T-shirt printing.
I won’t be able to access that wedding registry since I’m not from US.
But I love your theory! It seems reasonable and realistic, even though we don’t know know truth (and might never know!)
I’m not from US.
Wow interesting! But did you get the shirt in the US, or was that somewhere else too?
I find it really fascinating that this shirt clearly meant a lot to someone, so they kept it all these years, but then still decided to get rid of it, yet without just thrashing it, AND then even in a different country/continent!
(I hope they didn’t just forget it in a hotel, which then decided to make a few bucks…)
Can’t remember, like it spawned in the wardrobe years ago probably from older siblings.
I hope they didn’t just forget it in a hotel Well they were traveling across continents so… Might be ^^’
Probably isn’t going to be easy to track down. The only thing I’ve been able to find is this. The only things that match up are the last name and the timeframe (and even the timeframe isn’t perfect. September 19, 2009.) No idea beyond that whether that’s the “correct” Webber couple. (Also, the wedding registry page doesn’t mention whether Megan took the Webber last name. If not, and if the t-shirt is related, I’d think the t-shirt would use the term “Webber/Lange Wedding” or some such rather than just “Webber Wedding”. But who knows.)
I checked the Wayback Machine hoping an older version of the same page a) might be available and b) might have more information than the basically no information that the current version of that page has, but unfortunately they don’t appear to have any versions of that page saved.
The source of the page doesn’t have much information (aside from what’s visible in the page, the URL, or the title of the page) except for a zip code: 90049. Probably where Megan and Thomas live.
Again, no idea if that specific Megan and Thomas are related to the t-shirt. But I guess there’s a small chance.
Edit: I guess you could contact screen printing companies in LA near that 90049 zip code and see if you can find a screen printing company that will admit to having made that shirt. They might be able to tell you the story of it. If there’s a tag in the shirt, it might even say the name of the screen printing company.
Woah! That’s a big one! Thank you so much for time spent on searching. I tried looking up one of those dates and loacations but then I had my “aha moment” for today when I remembered that 2009 was quite long ago haha
How did you come to have this T-shirt?
I don’t know about op, but this is the exact kind of thing I’d buy from a thrift store
Exactly! :D
