this seems pretty random, having your wedding televised live to relatives in Greece as a “gift” from the Overseas Telecommunications Commission (as the bride and groom met while filming a TV commercial for OTC). If you wanted to do the same, it would cost $3500 for the first 10 minutes, then $70 a minute after that… in 1973 dollars.
