They did a Wedding Window website to keep everyone informed of all the details. This site is fantastic but, really, they left out a small detail ...
Sooo ... in order not to rain my crazy all over their wedding site I'm going to do it here. Why is it that so many people loose their humor when they decide to get married? Regular people who joke around and see other people's weddings as funny, suddenly get all mushy and serious about their own ...
Quick wedding story of my own here ... The day we got married, Big Daddy and I were driving to our wedding site in Dana Point, California, about 50 minutes away when suddenly he says ... "I forgot my pants" ... seriously? ... how do you even get out of the house without your pants? ... better yet ... How did I not notice? ... we were so happy with ourselves that we were going to be there on time, too.
Now on to my "crazy relative" comments that I wish I could insert on the their website ...
Under the heading "From Our Hearts", they tell a story of their "Non Meeting"... how they grew up in the same area, knew the same people, attended the same functions, relatives and friends knew each other and attended the same church, they attended the same church, they both taught children at that same church ... and they never met ... and they never met ... and they never met ... and they leave this statement as a parting shot, "So, if you don't believe in God, there you go. And, he has a great sense of humor"
I say, "Jokes on you ... he tried really hard to keep you two apart".
Under the the heading "Other Info", Pastor Such-n-Such, "Will be doing the hitching"
I say - "If you're gonna do hick, by golly, be doin 'er raight. Dem der should say, "We be gettin hitched by dem der church feller".
Under the heading "Other Info" about this church feller, they say, "He is one righteous dude"
I say - When you reach the age of 40 you can no longer say, "He is one righteous dude.." and not have people laugh at you (for "people" read "ME" ... dude). And, really, should you be talking "Hick" and "Surfer dude" in the same paragraph?
They have on their "Welcome" page a ticker counting down the days until the wedding ...
I say, "Smacks a little of a Doomsday Clock ... wouldn't ya say?"
AHHHHH ...
All I can say is ... Thank You, God, for letting me blog ... without you (my blog) I would forever be shunned by all those who can't take a joke (for "all those who can't take a joke" read "certain family, certain friends, and probably most of the Bride's side" ... doesn't the groom's side usually see more humor in the wedding than the bride's? ) ...
Any whoo ... venting is over ... now I don't have to call everyone to tell them all these jokes ... ha ha ha ... I thought I would explode before I got all this out. I was going to their website daily to see if they had put in a category for "Crazy Relative" and one never showed up.
So ... now I can be nice sister again. :)

OMG, the one about how God tried pretty hard to keep them apart was a riot. Yeah, there had to be a reason why they kept NEVER meeting, even though they ran in the same circles. That's too funny!
Yeah, I think people do lose their humor when they're planning a wedding. Don't worry though...in 10 years, they'll look back and think, "Were we really that dorky?"
ROFL! So funny! I love the one about God trying to keep them apart!
As a musician who has played at many many weddings, I can guarantee that there is a form of mental illness that accompanies wedding planning. The funny bone is the first thing to disappear.
