    Weddings and "fun"

    Am I jerk?confettitrain.jpg

    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?
