at least her mommy loves her, at least it's fun to mock, not racism wank! yay, otf_wank's thoughts on weddings

I have to admit, I don't even know how to sum this up.

Bride - or should I say, former Bride - reveals her theory that Brides are the Center of the Universe

After opening with her credentials to be advising Bridesmaids, she says:

And yes, my dear ladies, being in a bridal party is a job, and I am going to tell you what to do, thus this letter. I am advocate for the Bride in your life.

And then she goes on. And on. And on. With numbering, for easy reference. And then more numbering.

The comments are a fascinating mix of "OMG! you are so right!!!" and "OMG! You are so CRAZY".

The whole thing makes me glad I eloped.

My own wedding, was a good deal less than perfect, I sometimes call the reception “the disaster”, and I had to sadly “demote” one of my own Bridesmaids, so I know about worst case scenarios too, especially considering my husband was within 4 hours of death on our honeymoon.

How does one 'demote' a Bridesmaid after the ceremony? Seriously- I want to know this time-honored process. As for her husband- WAIT, WHAT? I'd be more broken up over, oh I dunno, my husband dying than some stupidity at the reception. Did I ever read that right? Is she saying her husband died on the honeymoon? I'll admit- I laughed when I found that to be in the same sentence as the bridesmaid thing (and listed second no less) but damn... that sucks.

As for being obsessed with weddings- methinks she needs to get out more. Also, I can't be the only one who kept on reading 'BM' and thinking, "Why are they talking about bowel movements?" before it finally sunk in it stood for 'bridesmaid.'

	Upon re-reading I think she's making a joke and that he was close to dying but didn't. However, if someone who has had more time to wade through the crazy wants to chime in I'd appreciate it. This is bugging me- more so because I'm trying to make sense out of crazy. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I think there's a formal ceremony where you march under an arch of crossed bouquets and then the bride strips you of your corsage and hair jewels. (Like the opening credits of "F Troop" if anyone's ever seen them.) (Reply to this)(Parent)
