Weddings

So i know i have been slacking. i know. but its tough to write when there isnt much to write about. Well correction, its tough to write when i feel like its bah humbug stuff. No one wants to read depressing blogs. we read for dirt and dishing and cool little tidbits. the last thing someone wants to read is about discouragement and frusteration. But now things are on the up and hopefully my blog tone will reflect that.

Ok so on to my topic.... weddings. Now i fully admit, i am a wedding snob. Yeah i know, im terrible, but the fact that i waited 25 years to get married, I think i have earned the right to critique any and every wedding i attend. And i will preface this by saying, i really do enjoy every wedding i have attended (for the most part). Its a special day for people and I respect that. Well a friend of mine (we shall call her Sophia to protect her identity)just recently went to a wedding and came back and told me details and we were SHOCKED at the similarities between Sophia's wedding and Abby's wedding (the Bride). I don't know, maybe I was reading too much into it when I told Sophia it was rediculous, but the programs were similar, the songs walked down the aisle were the same, the wedding color, the dj, the photographer, even the dessert was similar(ok they were exactly the same). I told Sophia it must have felt like she was at her own wedding. Now am i crazy? isnt it a bit odd? I mean I could understand if Abby hadn't been at Sophias wedding but SHE TOTALLY WAS THERE!!! AND i could understand if Abby had mentioned to Sophia "hey i loved your wedding, im totally taking some of your ideas" BUT COME ON!! to try to pass off all these similarities/exact likenesses as your own, is kinda shadey. Give credit where credit is due, Abby. I say all this because of my wedding snobbery. And like every bride, i feel that my wedding was PER.FECT. ... lol well in my eyes it was. i invited everyone i had wanted, the food was great, the atmosphere was great, the day was overall great. On the flip side, my pet peeve is when brides skimp on their day. Now hold on, i don't mean financially skimp, because not everyone can afford the same budget, but within ones means, to just throw your wedding day together annoys me. This is THE BIGGEST DAY IN YOUR LIFE and to just half-ass it is a slap in the face to weddings everywhere (again its the wedding snobbery coming out - don't hate). Go all out, live your dream out on that one day! And as a last thought to leave you with... next time you are at a wedding, all dressed up, and looking great... lean over to your date and start tearing that wedding apart....HAHA jk, lean over to your date and remember how wonderful your special day was OR how perfect it is going to be!!
