Look at the big picture brother!
Sometimes it doesn't hurt to bend the "norms" if you're not hurting anyone and in fact, you will use the new opportunity created as something that can help the rest of the world.
An example,
we crashed a wedding almost three years ago, and as a result, we thought of a way to help wedding couples capture their guests' photos & videos.
Imagine, a wedding couple, that just had their wedding the night before, the next day they are in the airport and on their way to their honeymoon, they open their Eversnap app and they see all the guests' fun photos & videos from the night before.
They get an immense amount of joy from that.
In addition to that moment of joy those photos and videos are what is going to strengthen their bond 10 years from now, when they look back and they remember the best night of their lives. That results in a better marriage, therefore, a better family, and therefore better kids, and therefore successful kids that will do good in their life and make the world a better place!
To date, over 15,000 weddings have used Eversnap to collect their photos & videos.
Now, what was the cost of creating 15,000 happy couples who will have successful kids? Crashing a wedding. Who did it hurt? Who did it steal from? I'd happily pay that price anyday if it means that I can make a global impact and create something better in people's lives.
& that's just weddings. Now we've had over 100,000 group experiences where people are collecting the complete stories of what happened during their group experience and sharing it with each other. What does that mean? That means now for the first time ever people can easily document their group trips, parties, anniversaries, graduations, mitzvahs, from everyone's perspective. But the most amazing thing that we see is that people start having a deeper bond with each other now that they have documented and shared their group experience between themselves. What does that mean? That means documenting history & creating a stronger bond between people's families and friends. Why is creating a stronger bond important? Human beings are social animals, the value of the whole is bigger than the sum of individuals. A stronger bond means, stronger friendships, stronger families, more good deeds, more happiness, and more opportunities to happiness for more people in their lifetime.
What was the cost? Crashing a wedding. What was the benefit: Eversnap has made 270,000 people happier than they were ever before. And not only that, those 270,000 people will now share their happiness with millions of other people. What's the goal of life anyways? Isn't it to make other people happy? Isn't it to bring opportunities to people who've never had them before?
Please brother, look at the big picture.
