I just thought this image was funny. I was looking around on the Web for wedding humor.
Yesterday it occurred to me that, while I've gotten the shopping part of finding my wedding boots all done, I have yet to complete the transaction (i.e., hand over the moolah). I guess I keep hoping REI will have a big sale or something. I almost never buy anything there full price. Oh well. Off to REI after work I think. I really like those boots and don't want to have to settle for something else. I've never had hiking boots that actually fit and were comfortable.
I feel sort of deliquent in my duties as bride'smaid. Other then helping stuff invitations, I've done very little. And I know I've heard bridezilla stories where the bride'smaid job description is more...expansive. Thankfully my sister is practical, and has not yet aquired a "zilla" appellation. But what to do? I'm sure there are dozens of last minute projects. I know I had them. I seem to remember spending several hours, just days before the wedding, tying teeny ribbons to dowel rods. Are we throwing rice? Do we need to acquire rice? What kind is most representative of the couple? Wild rice? Organic brown rice? Arborio? Uncle Ben's? That's sort of a fun question. I think my sister is sushi rice. Not sure about Dave.
Met a clerk at Borders who also works at the Irish Pub on the square. He made it sounds like a great place to go for the bachelor party. I was angling for coupons or something. No luck. He says there are all sorts of Irish students who work there. At least three Caitlins.
I'm not sure if I'm bringing a guest yet. I said no guests on my reply card, but my sort-of-boyfriend might come after all. It's an I-don't-really-like-weddings-but-I'll-go-if-you-want-me-to kind of thing. Made more complicated by the sort-of status. Do I NEED a date. Am I a total loser without one? Or will my relatives think I'm...off...somehow if I have a date and I just got divorced. I don't know the etiquette on this.
Enough ranting. More ranting later. Lots to rant about .
Not to disuade either way, but contrary to popular belief, I think weddings are better to attend stag, unless you know no one there. You're free to do what you like, and you don't have to worry about entertaining someone else or protecting them from your crazy relatives (not that we have any!). I think most people aren't bringing dates. Or they SAY they aren't. But of course, it's always nice to have someone else to blame when you need to beg off ("yeah, (blank) isn't feeling well, I think we're going to head out..."). Definitely useful in social situations ;-).
