wedding

A friend of mine has asked me to be maid of honor for her wedding, and I accepted. We had a nice, long chat and I asked her what color dress she's wearing.

She's always been a dark sort of person. She wrote a book where no one has more than one redeeming quality. Once, a group of our friends dressed up in dark robes, went to a cemetery and had pizza delivered, and after eating the pizza, we picked up the garbage until the police came to scare us off. She's decided that rather than having a proper "wedding night," she's going to invite the whole wedding party back to the suite, hang a "do not disturb" sign outside, and likely jump on the beds and play with the jacuzzi and make a lot of noise. (her fiancé has the same sort of personality. This is going to be a fun wedding) And she hates white.

So I fully expected her dress to be blood red or even black. So I was surprised when she said it was white. Apparently, her mom threw a fit when she said she wanted a black wedding dress. So they had a trade-off, she gets a themed wedding in a white dress for her mother's... non-bickeringness?

Whatever makes her happy, I guess.

My best friend used to hang out in, and clean up, graveyards, too! How interesting.

I've always said that weddings aren't for the bride and groom...they're for everyone else. If you were doing it for you, you'd just elope rather than paying for a ridiculous party.

That said, our wedding was pretty nice...small and intimate, and it reflected our beliefs. It was outside and we didn't have anyone give a SERMON. :>
