rant about a movie I haven't seen

[eligrrl]

And it's about a movie that I plan on NEVER seeing. I keep seeing commercials for "Bride Wars". WTF is this bullshiat? The 2 BFF's want to have their weddings at the NY Plaza Hotel. Ok, I get that. You can afford to do this, wonderful. But instead of picking their dates INTENTIONALLY THEMSELVES so they can oh I don't know BE in each others wedding parties, they let the hotel choose the date based on what's available. This seems like lazy and bad planning at best, and selfishness at worst. Since neither of them are willing to change their date, they start sabotaging each others weddings. WTF?!? Are you seriously so bent out of shape about a fucking DAY that you're willing to lose your best friend after how many years of friendship? How about having a dual wedding? Now, I'm going to a wedding in the next year. In fact, I'm in the wedding party. This means, in the real world, that I DO NOT MAKE PLANS FOR THAT DAY! This is why when I got married the first time, when we chose our place, we selected several days based on our needs. It needed to be over a weekend since I had family flying in to MI. We ideally wanted the weather on our side, and made a indoor/outdoor plan accordingly. Granted, I wasn't planning a high-falootin fancy-dancy shindig or anything, but I still managed to get a wedding planned (with definite assistance) in 5 months. Started planning it in January, got married in May. And what the hell is so wrong with delaying something so you can have your wedding at your ideal place? It doesn't seem like either of these weddings are shotgun in any way. Hello, more time to plan?!?! Oh, and my friend who's getting married in 09, her place is GORGEOUS! And she did the smartest thing. She did the civil ceremony in 08, and is having the big to-do on the same day in 09.

This whole thing just bothers me. Immensely. Especially because I've done this before and probably will again.
