Very funny. I can think of a few weddings that match that description! Not exactly the same but pretty simliar.

LOL@Ken – that WOULD be a typical male response! I don’t know why women don’t get along. My ex-mother in law hated me. I was never good enough for her son although I honestly tried to be a good person. I think back on it now and feel bad for her because I realize that she was probably having a lot of issues of her own with aging, vanity, confidence, etc. I wasn’t aware of all she was going through then and she wasn’t aware (I don’t think) of how awful and self conscious she made me feel all the time. It’s too bad because it cost her a nice daughter-in-law. I look back on it and though and it took me a while to get over, I only wish her well. Bitterness gets you nowhere and we’re all only human. But as a warning – you really DO marry the family unless you are fortunate enough to live far away. I’ve learned that women need to gain and maintain their own self-confidence levels in order to appreciate, respect, and support eachother rather than tear eachother down. They shouldn’t view another women’s talents or beauty as an indication that THEIRS is any less. Oops. I do go on and on. I’ll stop now. I think I got my point across. ;)

Funny! I sometimes thing women are women’s own worst enemies.

OMG, this is one of a kind! I wished I saw this earlier so that I could show my girlfriend who got married last week :)
Stumbled too!

hey Ken… good to see you here :) those are some funny thoughts and good questions! I couldn’t dare to ask her those yet, she seems to be pretty distresses as it is ;)
teeni: you are so right, women do compete and I can never understand why! lets admit it, they (okay, we) get jealous more easily and don’t do all we should to support each other! this is a problem regardless of the relationship really….like at work I see the same thing, one of us getting more attention from the management (and god forbid management is represented by guys, which is often the case) others will be ready to outcast ‘the special’ one… why??? you are right, we all need to learn to support each other first before expecting anyone else to do that! always good to have you back :)

hey Craig… thanks for stopping by and commenting…. and my bests with your novel :)
Aruni: you’ve really nailed it :) its a fact and most of us don’t want to face the facts… I believe most of the problems are caused by women (gosh, I don’t mean to offend some but its true to a large extent…IMHO) ;P

A few questions:
1. Did the invitation come in an envelope? Was it shrink-wrapped? Or did it arrive in a box that seemed to make a ticking sound?
2. Is ‘The Doctor’ a resident or owner of his own practice? What is his specialty? Because, if he is:
a. a thoracic surgeon, then there will be no divorce, just a missing woman.
b. a pediatrician, then the ‘cheap, two-bit tramp’ will most assuredly keep the marriage alive long enough to create some progeny and then…money, money, money, and…spa treatments.
c. a podiatrist, there will be no children, just fetishes and awkward touches
3. Will there be a band or a DJ? A DJ comes with line-dances and toys. A band comes with 7 more mouths to feed and Celine Dion cover songs.
4. Are both families contributing to the wedding? Or will the bride and groom-to-be pay for some/all of the event? One way is guilt-free; the other, a holocaust (and it’s not as clear as you may think).
5. Will there be an open or a cash bar? If cash, the answer to question #2 is now obvious. If open, then nuts are not needed (a nice way to cut down on costs).
6. Is her allergy to a specific nut? Or should this really be pluralized and state that she has an allergy to ‘nuts’? If so, she will not let question 2, option ‘b’ ever come to fruition (except for the spa treatments).
Long live marriage!
