Wedding Bits
I officiated a wedding for a young woman who I've known since she was born. Weddings are wonderful places to find blogging material and this one wasn't any different. So here are some of the favorite quotes or scenes taken in during the wedding....
"Man, we should've checked the hog traps before we came up here. I think we had time." (Groom to a groomsman "Uh, it is your wedding day and wouldn't it be the pits to have to decide whether you want to take this really nice pig or try to get to the church in time for the wedding?")
"Now when you attend formal occasions such as this, check out the room first to find all the good looking guys but remember, sometimes the ugly ones are the ones with the money." (Advice from a mom to her preteen daughter..."I'm thinking someone should warn all the preteen boys about this one.")
"Hey, this isn't a race and I'm wearing heels. Slow down or go down that aisle by yourself!" (one frustrated bridesmaid... "Let 'em have it sister! Slap him twice to get his attention!")
"Should someone pick up the veil?" (said by a bridesmaid after the bride lost her long gauzy trail covering...I'm thinking, "Yeah, someone should since all of you have to walk over it to leave the auditorium.")
All in all it was a great wedding. The Groom and groomsmen were in faded blue jeans and white shirts (some patterned, some just plain white shirts) with athletic shoes. The Bride was in a traditional dress and her bridesmaids were in fancy gowns. It looked a bit different but what mattered was the two folks getting married were happy and had a great time. The reception was sandwiches and fruit, the cakes were red velvet and German chocolate.
Best part of the wedding was being accompanied by Slvr and getting a chance to chat with her during the reception. I always think a wedding without gun play or bloodshed is a good wedding.

Overheard conversations are always sources of entertainment. Love your comments about the things people were discussing. I do think I like the bridesmaid who told her escort to slow down - she sounds strong and funny. Glad you had a fun time at the wedding!
This post made me laugh out loud! And to think we had to really twist my brother's arm to get him to agree to Tuxes instead of just plain suits!
Jeans and anything close to a white shirt... I like it! If I have my way, everyone at my wedding will be wearing nothing but an apron and some face paint (grandmas and brides maids included)...
