E and I were talking about her wedding on the way home from the movie last night. It looks like she might have it all worked out. Depending on the weather and the state of the lawn in late October, it it going to be in her fiance's back yard. Which I think will be nice, not quite the harvest wedding that was originally planned so long ago, but really close! The bridesmaid's dresses have been chosen (white with a black ribbon around the waist, falling just below the knee), and the cake maker has been approved (I forget the name of the place, but I know exactly where it is at). Last night was the night to hammer out what the songs were going to be, and who exactly was going to be invited. That is always a tricky situation, trying to figure out who is going to be invited to the wedding. It is actually something that I am trying to figure out right now with my own wedding...where do you draw the line...do you stop at immediate family, or do you start inviting your cousin's second ex-wife as well?? These little issues never stop! Planning a wedding just isn't as easy as one would think. But as I mull over what E and I discussed last night, I think that we are well on the way to having both of our weddings planned out, and the only things left for us to really decide are the little things, like the theme at the reception, what to give out as favors...and there was something else as well....and for the life of me I just can't remember what it is. Oh wait. I think I remember now, yes, right...the only thing missing in our plans is the effing groom!! Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, my best friend and I have planned our entire weddings without even having a fiancee. Or even a boyfriend. How Pathetic is that? It is actually rather humerous because somehow one day we got on the topic of weddings, and we both just started to spill every little detail about our own weddings that we had already planned...with no such event actually going to take place at anytime in the near future. I thought that I was the only loon to sit at home and plan MY DAY. But apparently it is some kind of fever that women between the ages of 23-32 are very succeptible to. Common symptoms are mooning over little things at friends wedding, crying uncontrobably for no reason whenever yet another friend has decided to get married,or in more drastic cases, there has also been some indication of cravings to try on actual wedding dresses and posing as a "real" bride. There doesn't seem to be any cure at this point for the disease, except for the afflicted to eventually have her own wedding. It is highly recommended that people who come into contact with an afflicted individual to not mock or discourage them from their fantastical visions, when confronted with dissent, studies have proven these women to become violent, disagreeable, and plain ol' hard to live with. Just smile and nod your head and everything should be ok. Are E and I alone? Or does every woman plan out her wedding as some kind of genetic indicator of it being time to settle down and start a family? These are the questions that need answering...anyone have any ideas?
