I’ve seen a lot of ads and articles lately for tips on getting in shape prior to one’s wedding day. And I guess I just think that’s a really awful idea. When you stand up there and make your vows, you’re vowing to accept and love the other person as they are. So the last thing you want to do is lose weight or get plastic surgery or something. Rather, you want to look the way that you’re likely be during the marriage itself, because that’s only fair.
If I were to get married, I would get all method actor about it. I’d gain fifty pounds, lose my job, and drag my James Bond DVD collection around with me in a backpack. I’d greet my fiancee at the altar: “Hey babe, this is gonna be fun! And after we’re done with this vow thing, do you think you can loan me a hundred bucks? I need to finish paying the caterer.”
this is full of genius. esp. james bond in a backpack.
And… this would be why you are still single.
So true.
Great observation. IT reminds me of people on dating websites who put pictures of themselves three years back and thirty pounds lighter. Ugh.
Don’t get married unless the bride’s parents pay the caterer.
genius.
yes. exactly. this is exactly the problem with weddings.
not marriage, necessarily, but weddings.
well played, here. very well played.
Sounds like a great way to not get married. Make sure that caterer fee is refundble.
Your ideas are pure genius! In fact, those are the exact things I did prior to getting married myself. Great minds think alike!
I should have stood there in a sensible haircut, with weights to drag down my boobs.
Who knew?
So True....
