weddings & an update on the movie quotes
so i went to a wedding this past saturday, & i suppose it was alright, as far as weddings go. i've come to the conclusion that weddings are most fun under the following circumstances:
1. you attend as a guest
2. you are good friend of the bride/groom or both
3. you are good friends with most, if not all of the other guests
4. food & music are good
5. you are able to see & hear everything properly
i was pretty much only able to satisfy the first requirement. the others were only partially applicable. i knew & was friendly with both the bride & groom, but was more of a friendly acquaintance than even an actual friend. i knew a large portion of the other guests, since they were all part of my church fellowship, but again, more friendly acquaintances than actual friends. the food & music were sort of 'eh,' partially because it was a typical chinese banquet with lots of seafood, which i'm not terribly fond of & even then the quality was mediocre. the banquet hall was rectangular & the main stage/dance floor was all the way on one end of the room while i was seated all the way at the other end. the music wasn't bad, but played overly loud & it was quite hot due to the 300 or so guests. overall, just ok.
the ceremony was quite nice though. the church was quite pretty & looked like the inside of an old theater, especially with the gold moulding & chandelier. ceremony itself wasn't too long & the refreshments afterward was quite good.
despite everything, i was very happy for the new couple since are very well matched & will definitely have a long & happy marriage.
so that was the weekend. now for an update on the movie quotes - i've added some new ones as extra clues, & starred the ones that most people probably won't get, but everyone is welcome to try.
1. Pick 15 of your favorite movies. **
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Fill in the film title once it's guessed.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions
**i've listed 18 since there are a few that i'd be extremely surprised if people got them, but hey, you never know. i've also edited some so as not to give away clues to the actual movie.
