wedding musings

A good friend of mine is getting married tomorrow, and in many ways it feels like the wedding is mine. Not because I have been involved in every small detail (quite the opposite actually...her fiance's family are incredibly cloistering and as a result she has quite gracefully bended to their "ohmigodineedtoknoweverythingthatsgoingonsoIdon'

I think many women feel that it has to be stressful in order to qualify as a "real" wedding. It doesn't count unless you get the cliche framed wedding photo and lots and lots of bills afterwards. If I get married, I'll invite everyone to a big party, then surprise them by announcing that I'm getting hitched at the same time. That way everyone will be wearing what they're most comfortable in. No tuxes. No matching bridesmaid dresses. No buying of expensive flowers. No presents. Just love and fun. Oh and pies...lots of pies.

I'll try to be aware of that trickery in the future ;-)

Hehe yes, exactly. This serves as a warning: If I invite you to a "random party" out of the blue...IT'S IMPORTANT!!! :) :) (Well, it's important for YOU to be there, anyway.)

Can you invite me to this random party at least a couple of months beforehand? :-P Advance warnings for flights and leave off work is always good. hehehe.
