“It’s your day, but —”
It is now less than a fortnight till the wedding (holy fuck).
People keep telling us it’s our day, but they keep expecting our day to be like everyone else’s ‘day’. *sigh* Listen up! There will be no:
- wedding party
- fancy car hire
- something old or new or borrowed (but there will be something blue because it’s still my favourite colour and Neil’s already seen it, before you ask)
- hair and makeup person or people
- ‘bridal dress’, as my mother calls it
- tiaras
- flowers of any description, not on my arm, not on a table (so there won’t be any bouquet-throwing either)
- walking down any aisle
- page boys or flower girls or bridesmaids
- paid photographers
- tea ceremony
- shark’s fin soup
- karaoke during dinner (just in case you thought I was Taiwanese or Vietnamese)
- wedding cake (just good desserts)
- wedding favours
- band or mobile disco
- first dances
- evening receptions or buffets
Sadly — for me — there also will be no:
- Elvis impersonators
- Mr. Porky
In wedding

damn skippy… it’s yer day, darnit.
that said you’ve not mentioned that you’re NOT having a gift list of any kind… is there one? :P
Gee whiz, the “big day” sounds a normal in… what will the entertainment be, the latest episode of CSI-Edinburgh on the big screen TV?
but seriously… I hope the day is everything YOU want it to be!
Hey Shauna, yeah there’s a very very small list now on Amazon UK.
TuTu, thanks mate.
I can agree with almost all that list, but, no Elvis impersonators? Are you crazy? ;)
I hope you enjoy your day. Our friends got married last new year in a ceremony that was very much their own, and it was one of the most original, refreshing wedding’s I’ve attended.
Incidentally is your comment-edit-thing a WordPress plugin? I’m sure mine doesn’t do that. It’s a neat feature.
A: It’s a plugin called, er, WP Ajax something. Edit Comments?
Hopefully also no major case of poison ivy from ignorant attempts to tidy up the front lawn just prior to the event.
I looked like hamburger that blessed day.
Thanks, Mr mist!
C Smith, I am only suffering from a lack of sleep (renovations) and midge bites on my face from washing the car in the driveway. I’m not the gardener of the house!
