My reasons are listed, though they didn't need to be.

You know, since I blog here. Sometimes. I may also blog here. "How to turn my fiance on" I've addressed this issue before. I have no idea why it continues to pop up. Okay, sure, I do have a topic dedicated to it, I'm just more concerned that people need this.

I will post them here and explain just why I can't answer them. Didn't they feel like they were committing murder when they cut the cake? I can only assume that a person so devoid of taste is already dead inside. What about the caterer? I would bet good money that members of the catering staff have pictures posed with knives ready to bludgeon. I totally would have. Was it red velvet inside? Honestly, would it surprise anyone?

If it's something bad or sad, I cry. If it's something so horrendous that most people are speechless I'm always able to crack a joke. Always. At inappropriate times, as well. But this. Well.

It is up to the couple to decide which they want. It totally depends on their personality and the tone of the wedding. Kids do add a certain amount of fun and whimsy to weddings. They also add a certain amount of stress. If the couple is laid back and can't wait to see what interesting thing their flower girl is going to do because she's definitely not going to walk down the aisle and toss the flowers properly, it's great. But if you're really expecting that things...BridehoodRevisitedhttp://bridehoodrevisited.typepad.com/bridehood_revisited_the_d/2007/10/kids-weddings-m.htmlBlush and Bashful Can Bite Me.tag:typepad.com,2003:post-389410632007-09-15T23:08:20-04:002007-09-15T23:08:20-04:00Dear Pretty Pretty Pink Princess, I do not like you. But congrats on your recent nuptials. Yay you. You've been waiting a long time to have a wedding of your dreams. Probably since you were five. Now, if you're old enough to get married now, you probably weren't into the Disney Princesses when you were younger, therefore, it's really not acceptable for you to be enamored with them. 'Kay? The "I want everything to be pink!" phase of your life should be long over. As you grow, your tastes should evolve beyond the pink pink pink. Really.

Yes, the pretty pretty pink wedding is just freaking awful, but it's so deep. It's so... involved. Should I simply mock the random choices of the pink crap that people festoon their festivities with? Or should I delve into how it's all significant of the real problems of weddings and Why Girls Are Really Dumb Sometimes. Because having everything perfect and pink and totally of your dreams?

Oh holy hell. Doesn't anyone love these girls? Who lets someone think that back cleavage is okay? That four boobs created by the bisection of your God given boobs is sexy? That the grievous amount of pit-tit overage won't scare the children? Who lets someone wear a dress that clearly does not fit and the corset collapses into the fat rolls?!

I didn't realize so many people were checking in until I checked my stats today. Ack! I'm sorry! (Oh, and hi! fellow Philadelphia people.) So I guess I should post?

There is no good reason as to why I did this. I have a stack of magazines including The Believer, Atlantic and several issues of The New Yorker left sitting unread. Hell, there's also a Real Simple, and maybe an issue or two of Self and/or Shape in there. I live ridiculously close to Barnes and Noble. I...
