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.

I adore Miss Manners. She made a wedding etiquette video that was my lifeline to sanity.

There were a few very over-the-top* little skits of people trying to KEEP EVERYTHING TRADITIONAL OMG, with her cutting in and basically saying, "[Thing a] is traditional! Do it, have fun -- just remember that other people's feelings trumps tradition! ^_^ [Thing b] is just someone trying to rip you off, but feel free if you're independently wealthy. And invite me, I want to see it."

* They were over the top back in 1990. Now it's just stuff you see every day on those Bridezilla shows.

	I am such a fangirl. I have most of her books, and still refer to them often. Witty, entertaining, and they have seen me through some of the most difficult situations of my life. huggles them The bridal shows make me want to become a nun. So much STRESS! How do they keep up that level of intensity for so long over so many things? (Reply to this)(Parent)
