Ok- who wants another wedding rant? Me!
Actually I have to confess something- I like bread. A lot. And beer! And eating! Eating more than a salad with no dressing, or worse lo fat dressing! I like cheese- actually I love cheese. If I weren’t marrying Ben- I might spend all my time with cheese. They would start calling me cheese girl because I would smell like cheese. Luckily I’m marrying Ben and won’t be a weird cheese bride. ANYWAY. I just wanted to confess this because I feel like anytime I look into “bride” things- there are no pictures of brides who like bread- or cheese. And I can’t go on a wedding website without seeing things like “lose 20 pounds in a week!” “Be the perfect bride, at the perfect size”, “This is the best shape you’ll be in your life- flaunt it”. There’s even a show that is all about overweight brides slimming down for their wedding. Are normal sized people not allowed to get married? Can I not be an overweight bride? Are they going to take away the wedding license? I mean- seriously people. I understand the bridal industry that’s all about giving you this wonderful day to start off the rest of your life- but the wedding fitness/ diet industry? Totally unhealthy. Totally- overzealous. I think that a lot of people go on these crash diets (not me- I can’t commit to crash diets) because they think that’s what they need to do before their wedding. They buy wedding dresses 3 sizes to small 6 months before the wedding.
Hey- there are a ton of fun parties to be had before the wedding. Wouldn’t it suck not to be able to eat at them? So, I’ll be eating bread- right up to and during the wedding. How else am I going to keep from getting sloppy drunk?! (KIDDING!)
I’ve been very relaxed about the wedding, but there’s one thing that’s really been burning my muffins- this whole wedding industry thing. I mean- who decided it was ok for to charnge $5 for 1 chair for a fifteen minute ceremony $5!! I mean- who makes $5 for fifteen minutes? Not me! Doesn’t it seem odd to pay a chair more than you make? And we’re having about 200 people, so that’s 1000 dollars! For FIFTEEN minutes!! I understand- there’s set up and break down, but heck- that’s crazy. Craziness. Thanks for listening…
obviously we did not go with the place who would charge us this- how would I be able to look myself in the mirror again. sigh.
