So who was the first couple to have a reception? Who was the first bride to heave her bouquet over her head and into the horde of unmarried screaming ladies who each secretely hate the bride for getting married before them. And who on earth came up with the wedding line?
Wedding traditions seem to have existed from the beginning of time, but honestly if Adam and Eve were able to get married while naked in a jungle, where on earth did we come up with what we've got now. Wedding pictures, engagement pictures, bridal pictures, pictures of the temple, pictures of the parents, pictures of the uncles, pictures of the aunts... the uncle's aunt and the aunt's ulcers!
I suppose it is all a one package deal, if you want to marry the girl you love you simply have to decorate the gym and wheel in the larger than life chocolate fountain replica of the "Fontana Dei Quattro Fiumi" (Fountain of the Four Rivers) If I get my amsy for time and eternity after that, then it's all worth it!
Good attitude. My family wanted to start the drive-thru wedding tradition but it never happened. The idea was that you pull up to one window where there's a cardboard cut-out of bride and groom (who are already married and gone) drop off your gift, then at the next window, you get a treat. No dressing up, no standing in line, just your casual, comfortable, All-American drive thru. I don't recommend suggesting this to Amy.
ReplyDeleteyeah! That's a great idea! I already tried running the cardboard cutout idea, but i was shot down pretty quick!
ReplyDeleteI'm all for it!! Does that count? And I can take one less worry off your little pea-size brain...the pictures of the parents...?
