Am I jerk?
That's what I'm sitting here wondering. I'll tell you how I got to this point. I was reading something this morning and it mentioned the word "confetti." Instantly thought two things at once: "I love the word confetti. Con-fet-ti." Followed by "God do I hate confetti. It's irritating as hell."
A few years ago I read a book with the world's best title, "A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again." The book is funny, if a little long, but it's the title that kills me. Because that's how I feel about a lot of "fun" things. I think weird things are fun, and "fun" things are annoying. Especially when it came to my wedding!
Examples:
~ Confetti
~ Opening gag gifts at a bachelorette party
~ The garter thing. (I can't even watch this without cringing, let alone do it.)
~ The cake/face smash.
~ Bridal showers.
~ And there's a special stool in hell for the guy who invented silly string.
Lest you think I'm an uptight grump, I'm not. Here are things I thought were truly fun at my wedding:
~ Reading personal letters during the ceremony.
~ Dancing with my Dad to Neil Diamond.
~ Dancing barefoot with my pimped out little nephew.
~ The bubble bath I took when it was all over.
So maybe I'm not a jerk? Who knows. What do you think will be the most fun you'll have at your wedding? What will be the least? Anything you are purposely avoiding? |
