Actually, I love Pringles. Those unnaturally uniform food products have inspired many an afternoon binge. I mean, snack. However, the title refers to this brilliant article I read recently about misheard song lyrics. Highly recommended. It made me snarf my Diet Pepsi.
Ok, so how many snack foods and beverages can I reference in a post about bouquet tosses? You'll have to wait and see.
The long and short of it is, we aren't having a bouquet toss. Why not? What about tradition? What about all the single ladies?
At 30, most of my girlfriends are already married, so the bouquet toss would necessitate calling all of 4 women onto the floor. I don't know about you, but if I were one of those 4, I'd be hella uncomfortable. Don't get me wrong, I like a social hookup as much as anyone (I mean, I used to...ha), but there are more subtle ways to let the bartender know you're traveling solo than having the DJ announce it two hours into the party while you saunter out into the middle of the floor for a well-lit 360 degree viewing. This isn't an auction.
Most of the ladies in my life were grateful for the omission of the fabled toss, save for Bridesmaiderson J, who was a little disappointed. I think J's boyfriend might be relieved, though...
What traditions do you plan to eschew on your big day, and which do you hold dear?
This sounds fine. Just slowly hand me the bouquet and no one gets hurt.
ReplyDeleteMy wedding date is also the 68th anniversary of my great-aunt and -uncle, so if they can make it, I think I'm just going to present her with it in honor of their marriage. If they can't make it, I might send the bouquet to Miri, who is going to be too hugely pregnant to attend.
