Someone posted this on facebook and I got a little laugh out of this.
And the sad part is I did have the 100 parties, am having a mass, having children, and will be doing the bouquet toss.
HA! I thought this was HYSTERICAL and I actually agreed with the large majority of what he said.
@Moose1209- The sad part is I did too and as I said before I am doing half of those LOL!
I think it was great - and for once an article like this was written with an obvious sense of humor.
Love!
um that is hilarious.
"Would you ask your florist to look at your MRI results?"
so funny.
Yeah, it was good. But I still don't get what everyone has against cash bars. You have the bride and groom (or whomever is funding the wedding) paying for your food already, I think as long as their are soda/tea/coffee provided you shouldn't be required to have an open bar. Alcohol is one of the most expensive things when you are buying for your entire guest list and I personally think that if they want to get drunk, they can do it out of their own pocket.
Anyway, very cute article!
Ha! This article was pretty funny, and I'm not usually one to enjoy these types of articles.
It was cute-everything he discussed is annoying but rarely do I see ALL of these things at every wedding.
Ha ha ha! I don't know if those are trends so much as they are common wedding rituals, but I enjoyed this: "First of all, women -- and men, for that matter -- are horny at weddings because there's usually an open bar. Put an open bar at an "Antiques Road Show" and people would be telling you, "Dude, chicks are horny as hell at antique road shows."" LOL
I wonder what the writer would think of candy bars, photobooths, moustache/props...? :oP
I have no idea if this is supposed to be funny, but it really speaks like the writer is trying way too hard to be smug and humorous. I think it echoes itself in the fact that he's single, and will never admit it, but is pissed that no one wants to marry him - probably because he tries too hard to be smug and humorous and fails almost as poorly as this horribly written piece.
@Miss Bubbles: Oh jeez. I think you are trying a little too hard to read into this and make it something it's not. Perhaps you are doing all or some of these things at your wedding and feeling attacked? It's meant to be a funny little off the cuff piece. Myself and my coworker who also just got married both laughed outloud multiple times, and we each did at least one of these things.
I'm not doing most of these things, and I still think he came across smug and annoying. He sounds like a blow hard who likes to hear himself talk and thinks his opinions must surely be the most valid. People who make comments like "Cash bar: wtf?" without grounding them in something are annoying. And I use that as an example, not of his opinion on a cash bar (I really don't care) but to illustrate how anyone an say whatever they want without backing it up and that doesn't make it worthwhile. Some of his lines are funny, but I agree with Bubbles -- he tried way too hard.
OK I have now read 3 more of his articles and I'm totally following him on tewitter. read this one! lol

@Vistagirl- Wicked funny!
It's nice to just read something stupid and not overanlayze it with all the crazieness that is happening right now. I usually cry over everything lately LOL
pahaha that 2nd was hilarious too. For you girls that are getting offended somehow.. just relax and laugh. And I'm dong like 2 or 3 of the things he mentioned at our wedding. Admit it.. its funny!
That's hilarious and I am definitely guilty of a few and loved every second of it! (and gosh darn my friends loved it too! ;) )
I kind of want to invite him just to see him play the spoons. However I fear he'd lurch about and crush one of our friend's children. Alas! ;)
so lets see, this guy is suggesting to do away with the ceremony, the celebrations, all wedding games, the toasts, the bridesmaids, dancing, the children...what's left exactly?
If i wanted just dinner, I would make reservations at a restaurant. ;o)
Heh, I thought it was funny. We are not doing a bouquet toss and everyone's all "whhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?" and I just roll my eyes at this point. I have three single friends remaining. Two of whom are in long-term relationships and waiting for a ring. One of whom is sort of tragically single. I am not in the business of humiliating my friends.
I would LOVE it if someone played the spoons at our wedding.
OMG Hilarious!! I agree with many things he said and the bit about the florist reading the MRI - SO TRUE!! And Im definitely guilty for several of those things!
hahah! i agree with everything he said except the little kids part. the kids are my family, they're coming. done.
hahhaha according to that list my wedding will be perfect. I'm not having/doing any of those things!
Funny article - although it did make me think that...
Everyone has an opinion on what A Proper wedding should be
Those opinions are polar opposites half of the time
I was thinking this because I just read another article on weddings, can't think where, that was annoyed by basically all of the opposite things. So I was contrasting his POV with the other one in my head while reading and got:
-Weddings are just carbon copies of each other! It's so annoying! Be unique!
- Why do couples try to be so darn 'unique' nowadays? People use those traditions because they work, it's just obnoxious when couples think they're sooo darned special.
- Stop bringing little kids to weddings!
- Stop banning little kids from weddings!
- We don't want all of these extra parties!
- I just paid for airfare plus a hotel to travel to your darn wedding, I totally want an out of towners dinner the night before and brunch the day after.
- No religious ceremonies
- Weddings are supposed to be about religion, why don't kids these days understand that?
I suppose a few universal truths hold true - no one wants an obnoxious DJ in their face, or to listen to a long, boring toast...
I thought that was cute. What comes across loud and clear is he wants to go to a wedding that's really just an excuse for a big party. I happen to feel the same way (I think toasts are the only thing we're doing that's on the list and *hopefully* no one will start talking about soiling themselves or stomach pumping), but I can understand how there's plenty of people out there who want their weddings to be a little more than an open bar raging party.
I think he came off as a little smug, but mostly had a sense of humor and was saying nothing more than "I just want a party."
Absolutely hilarious! I loved it. Just passed it along to friends. Some of the lines were classic-love the Antique Road Show line. LOL
OK, so what is playing spoons? I'm not familiar???
Funny! Thanks for posting..just made me laugh out loud at work. :)
lemondrop.com is a snark-fest, and it's hilarious. Basically, it's meant to offend your delicate sensibilities...all the while making you laugh. You're not meant to take anything on that website seriously. If you do, you're the people they're making fun of. Relax, stop taking life (and yourself) so seriously, and enjoy an opportunity to laugh at some total nonsense.
"I once went to a Catholic wedding that took up the better part of 2004" hahahhaa
This cracked me up. And I believe it is the precise list my FI and I wrote out and outlawed our first week of being engaged. Preparties- one shower that contained my sister in law and my mom at their insistance, Bachelor/Bachelorette party in vegas just because all our friends want an excuse to go to vegas. Other than that... none. No wedding party. A 15 minute ceremony by a minister who used to be a radio broadcaster. No bouquet toss, no toasts. Only kids are our 5 neices and nephews (couldn't get out of that one) and they will have a babysitter onsite upstairs.Video? Oh that is a no no when you have an open bar from my experience. And I think by the end of the night it will be my mom playing the spoons...
We'll definitely have some eejit trying to play the spoons at some stage in the night...
Although everyone's paying for their own drink, so hopefully the kids don't get pancaked!
I do feel uncomfortable about the gay marriage thing - I'm hugely liberal, but am getting married in a catholic church. I don't quite know how to reconcile that one!
No bad toasts, fingers crossed, and def no bouquet toss! Although I'll prob hear lots of Whhhhyyyyyyy???!! about that too, CupcakeSprinkles!
that's funny but yay i win i'm having next to none of this save a girls bowling party one bridal shower and the ceremony
