Childrens' Weddings ...


There seems to be a disturbing trend amongst people in my extended social circle (ie. people who know me) to tie the knot. Now, I'm sure for some it's the ideal start to life, go to university, come out with a degree, a car a wife and two and a half kids. Instant white picket fence.






Looking on the bright side of the equation, a) it's not me getting married and b) bridesmaids. The general consensus about weddings, at least according to Wedding Crashers and every American Pie movie is that bridesmaids are easy. Hell, the same goes for every girl there. Watching her best friend of the moment get married is like a red flag to a girl. At least, that's the theory.




In reality, when the bride and the groom can barely legally order alcohol in 48 American States most of the guests at the wedding, bridesmaids included, think they're just plain nuts. So next time that guy you know from the room down the hall in varsity invites you to his wedding to his child-bride, don't rush out to the Macro contraceptives aisle. Chances are, the nice girl eye-fucking the shit out of you is paranoid you're going to propose and take the long drive out to suburbia.
