Let’s talk weddings
shall we? You’ve been to probably a minimum of 8 this summer. Maybe even been a
bridesmaid. So with all this wedding business, where does a Spinster fit in? We’re
not quite bitter that it’s not us, but not totally stoked that we’re not the
ones running through the tunnel of sparklers. We’re happy, yet have slight
internal turmoil. Although you loved the photo booth idea and the personalized
jelly beans you got as a favor (which are currently melting in the cup holder
of your car) you can’t help but be a critic at weddings.
What would you do
differently?
What made the night a
smash or a crash?
Would you really have
your grandmother sing “L is for the way you look at me” at your wedding dinner?
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Wait a second. You’re
single. Why are you planning your wedding?
It is because you,
despite all your protests, are a wedding groupie.
Wedding Groupie: noun.
A female who ironically cleaves
unto all
things wedding, despite her singleHOOD status.
Why do we do this to ourselves?
- Why do we create
Pinterest boards filled to the brim with creative lemon and rose centerpieces, ‘smores and Izze drink
stations, and antique 20’s hairpins for our 6 bridesmaids decked out in tangerine tango Pnina Tornai tea dresses?
- Why do we continue to
get slightly misty and even ache a little bit every time the bride and groom
dance together for the first time, even though we’ve been to at least 2 ½ other
weddings this week?
- Why do we scribble
down notes to ourselves about having guests write messages on chalk boards at
the reception or sketch out what the ribbon canopy should look like over the
coconut shrimp and basil crostini bar?
- Why do we plan where
the photographer should be in order to capture that perfect shot of HIM seeing
you in the dress for the first time?
It’s because we’re
hopeless romantics.
It’s because we're slaves for all things cute.
It’s because we’re
wedding groupies.
Affectionately,
Gert and Char
p.s. In order to exacerbate your condition and make sure your wedding is a million times better than the bazillion other ones you've been to this year, we've provided the following blogs/pictures/ideas for your future beautiful wedding.
1) This blog is out of control amazing. One of our girlfriends is using the different shades of coral idea for our bridesmaids dresses.
2) Princess Grace. High waist with lace on top? Yes please.
3) Braided updo of the century.
4) Black dresses but switch it up with shoes and flowers for bridesmaids.
5) Table numbers with pictures of the bride and groom at that age.
6) The groomsmen.
We'd give you more but we can't let you fall too far down the wedding rabbit hole.
