Today we went to one of the more interesting weddings I've ever been to. This wedding was actually interesting weeks before it even started. We received our invitation and a small piece of paper fell out. It said, "The couple is registered at Linens 'N Things and WalMart." Anything I say about that will absolutely exceed my weekly catty quotient and I'm really not saying this to be mean. The bride and groom are nice people and I wish them the best. I just think they had a funny wedding is all.
So we got to the site, found seats, and the event got underway. The groom's 13-year old son was his best man. About five minutes into the ceremony, this kid folded like an origami crane. One minute he was standing there--the next minute he fell over like a plank. Everyone figured it was the heat of the day.
As I was sitting at the table (yes, we were seated at the dinner tables for the ceremony), I noticed that the centerpiece was a filled water goblet with a fish in it. My eyes kept wandering back and finally I realized, "That fish is belly-up." Yes, they thought of everything with the decor, right down to the dead fish in the water glass.
Anyway, I'm not exactly the Martha Stewart of weddings. Matt and I got hitched in Vegas, so we didn't really go through all the choosing of table linens and such. And I do wish this couple the best. But (hee hee) there was a dead fish on the table...
