I just arrived at work... obviously the next logical thing to do is surf LJ.
Gah, I'm such a slacker.
I wanted to clarify something in my last post, I love GOING to weddings, however, it doesn't mean that I want a wedding for myself. It's an important point that can't be emphasized nearly enough.
I'm SO not ready for the long trip up the scary white aisle (or a long drop off a short pier, but I digress). Every time I go to a wedding I feel so bad at the end of the evening when the bride and groom have to leave while the rest of us yuck it up well into the wee morning hours at the reception or at the post-party. My first instinct is to warn them, "hey, you're missing the damned party," but then a little voice inside reminds me that the whole reason they had the shindig was cement their bond with one another for freaking ever. They want to be together, alone. Yeah, that part of the whole wedding thing seems to escape me until I'm forced to confront it. I suspect this is yet another reason why I shouldn't get hitched any time soon---it's not a good sign when I consider the downer part of the evening to be when the bride and groom get some alone time.
Maybe I should pull a Carrie Bradshaw and marry myself?
