Do you Love to Cry at Weddings?

Posted: 6/9/07 at 2:45pm

So my brother-in-law is visiting to attend a wedding of an old girlfriend of his and wants to drag me along.
Putting aside the fact that I don't know the bride very well at all and didn't really enjoy the time I ever spent with her, I HATE weddings!
I am all for marriage and two people coming together to spend the rest of their lives together, but why do they have to do it in front of total strangers?
When was the last time you attended a wedding where you did not know the bride or groom?
Did you enjoy it?
PEACE.

No. Now, about this avatar...
The rain we knew is a thing of the past -
deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.

Sometimes I feel like it's more fun if you don't really know anyone, then you can get drunk and not give a heck about the repercussions.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Linnie. And a prime example of someone with no imagination.

Or an example of someone who wants just to use someone's distinctive image to remind others of said person's alledged disappearance, a disappearance which never occurred.

Confused?

I think the thing that disturbs me is when the wedding is more important than the marriage. They always have to do all that silly traditional stuff, have crappy singers and the food is usually terrible. I know we have probably had this conversation here before but it all came back this weekend how much I hate weddings. Oh, I won't be going, by the way.
PEACE.

Confused? No.
Bemused? Very.

Your humourous signature and mannerisms aside, could we please have a normal non-confrontational discussion about the matter of the avatar?

You missed a heated argument on this point on Thursday evening, Sueleen.

I used to play the organ for weddings when I was a teenager - in fact, I did so many, MANY times. This led to a, shall we say, 'less than rose-colored' view of the proceedings.

If you combine that with my serious anger over not being allowed to have one of my own, I'd have to give a resounding 'NO!' in answer to the question.

And that's sad to me, because I'm inclined to respond very positively to the idea.

Well the issue of the gay marriage it something else altogether. I have been to a couple of commitment ceremonies that were just as tacky and painful as a straight wedding.
PEACE.

The time will come, DG!

D2 mentioned a commitment cermony he had. Sounded nice.

SueleenGay, you wouldn't happen to have gotten a PM from me the other day, now would you?

Well, if you hate weddings, didn't enjoy the time with the girl, why would you attend to the wedding? Don't go!

She said she wasn't going.

And I said I wanted my identity back.

Can't argue with that!

PJ, we all know that that photo is everywhere on the internet. But it's not everywhere on BWW. Here, it's a mark of me. Sueleen deliberately stole that to use as a tool to provoke people.

I want that stopped. Please.

Yes, yes, Joey, we get the point.

But as far as BWW is concerned, Sueleen has used it not just to have a nice avatar, but to mimic me.

I must be blocked by Ms. Gay.


PJ, wow, you can use Google. Aren't you just great.

That's nt what this is about.
