My first post, and I thought I would start with marriage and weddings. Mainly because it seems to be everywhere at the moment, on TV, in conversation etc. Also Starting a blog is a bit like marriage, its a commitment.Before weddings were a small affair with family and friends, saying of vowels, confetti chucked at you as you leave and a party in the pub or hall. You were grateful for any wedding gifts you received and a honeymoon wasn't a necessity. Here is a lovely wedding photo I found searching the web. It was taken June 1924 for the marriage of Robert Louis Young and Edith Blanche Brucher. [source: www.virtualportmeirion.com/leoyoung/] Have weddings become more than just the unity before God, and more as a big entertainment event for the guests. Can we blame celebrities and WAGs for creating a scene? People actually try and outdo the previous wedding they attended or heard off.
They must use a check list like this:
Must get brightest engagement ring.
Buy the biggest and whitest wedding dress covered in crystals/diamonds.
Inform guests on the wedding gift they must buy.
Choreograph an entrance dance.
Choreograph the first dance.
Buy the biggest and most artistic cake.
Find the most original and biggest vehicle.
Have the biggest venue to hold the party.
Hire a pop star to sing at the party.
Invite absolutely everyone.
Get a magazine deal with hello, if not that famous enough, a mention in the local rag.
Honeymoon to the moon.
Although i thought this was legend:
But i would probably have a dance more like this:
Would definitely love to use Ratatat as my song choice, might not be about love, but if your going to dance to something cool, go for Ratatat.
