Weddings and Such

My childhood friend T is getting married in July. She has been engaged for about 3 or 4 years now I think, and the last time I talked to her she said they were getting married this year because she wants to get it over with. haha I can see why she's a best friend of mine, we share similar views on things! She's cool though, she said she is probably going to come in on a jet ski (she's getting married at her dad's lake house in CA). That cracked me up. She also said that planning it has been a pain in the butt and that I shouldn't ever get married. I would hafta agree!

R is the first guy I could really see myself HAPPY with long term. He's just amazing to me - and he can stand me and my craziness - and we just "fit" somehow. Marriage hasn't ever been a dream of mine. I was never that little girl dreaming of "my day" or anything. Does that make me strange? Perhaps. But it seems like a whole lot of work for a single day.

Also the whole bachelor party crapola would piss me off for sure. Boys behaving like male whores right before marrying a woman they supposedly respect and love has never made sense to me. Guys will defend it to the end, but in reality, it is what it is...

I dunno why I am writing this. Actually I was reminded of it when I was reading Mellowdee's post about her wedding dress. She seems so excited about it. I think I would hafta get a plain ole dress cuz I would get claustrophobic in some of the dresses I have seen friends wear. And needing help to go to the bathroom? I am in between that phase (not a baby and not so old I need that help) and I am fine here. haha

Another post of me blathering about nothing. Aren't you some lucky readers! :0)

Believe me when I say weddings are OVER rated! I would have been happy with the Justice of the Peace, but I let KR have what he wanted. Funny how our roles were reversed also. He wanted the fancy white dress and such and I only wanted the honeymoon.

Hey, a wedding day is what you make it.....I've watched a few of those redneck weddings on CMT and get a kick out of them. As for me....I did the big wedding in the church, white dress, veil, flowers, blah, blah, blah once before. When the slick one and I get married (yes, we've been engaged for 3-1/2 years) we'll make it a simple affair. Hopefully we'll be able to fly down to Florida, get married on a beach by a notary public, wearing shorts, t's or even swimming suits. I see me in something really comfy, with my birkenstocks near by, but my feet will be bare!
One final comment.....you can blabber all ya want....and we ARE lucky readers!!! (Even though your tone of voice was dripping with sarcasm, mine isn't!!!) lol

Weddings are such fun and I love to plan them. Ours was a big party. I wore a long mint green dress and matching picture hat and Ted wore a Tux but it was at home. We had to send out for more champagne several times.

Never liked those parties...avoided them at all cost or left before the weird stuff happened

I never dreamed of my wedding day either. Very strange. I guess I should have known better. I'v been divorced for more than two years now. Next marriage will be very small. With whomever. No plans.

You and R do fit! You guys just are like two peas in a pod as they say. I think, after a while longer that we'll be celebrating your day, and who knows I might even have to fly up for that one!

To be honest, I've *never* dreamed of my wedding day either - ever! Which is why we've decided to elope to Europe. I also totally thought I'd buy my dress at Smart Set or something, and you'd never catch me dead in a fru-fru wedding dress. But when my friends took me out to try dresses on, I totally surprised myself. I don't know what it was... Anyhow, so no, I don't think you're weird at all. J is absolutely *dreading* his bachelor party and has insisted his friends just take him to dinner and bowling. I really hope they honour his request.

Vegas is a great place to get married. I've been to (3) weddings out there... a good time is had by all!!

My dream wedding is being married in Vegas with an Elvis impersonator in attendance. I don't know why but somehow this seems like the perfect wedding for me. LOL! Sassee's wedding was close but they decided not to pay extra for 'Elvis' to sing to them... not me! If I could have it my way, 'Elvis' would officiate the wedding!

I am eloping. If I ever get married. this is a FACT. ;-)

I never had a bachelor party. Didn't want one.
As far as our wedding was concerned, to Mary and I, it was one HUGE party, and we had A BALL! I wouldn't have missed it for the world!
