Why You Maybe Shouldn't Get Married in Reno

[noahgibbs]

Stolen from Scott Adams' blog:

At the Reno wedding, I wore shorts. The guy next to me from the previous half-hour wedding had a mullet and a white jacket. To my left was family friend Joey, wearing a t-shirt with a colorful word writ huge on the back. I can’t tell you the word in this family blog, but it started with M and ended with rfucker. That might qualify as a first for wedding attire. Joey explained that he didn’t see the point in changing his shirt for a wedding that would last ten minutes. I had only met Joey once before, but I think he might become my new best friend.

or why you SHOULD....

You don't go there for the average traditional respectful wedding... you go to have elvis or an alien as your priest... I hear there are Star Trek weddings

Luckily, I'm not much of a Trekkie.

Also luckily, I don't have the option of being married by an Alec Guiness lookalike dressed as Obi-Wan Kenobi, or rightkindofme would likely be forced to bludgeon me about the head and shoulders until I regained sanity (i.e. lost consciousness).

Wonder if there are any princess weddings with pink fluffy stuff around and a fairy godmother who offciates....

That'd be nifty. I don't know how much of a storybook Prince Charming I'd make, though. Maybe I'd have to be some other character from Cinderella. I could dress up on the helpful little fat rat in the Disney version.

I have a feeling that would work

I hear the siren song of 'traditional wedding.' I have two bits of unsolicited advice. Don't take it seriously & plan a kick-ass party. I know you know how to do both. :) We still fondly remember the party at our wedding, which ran from 3 p.m. until 1 a.m. We didn't take it seriously enough to stress about matching the napkins to the bridesmaid dresses, which made things a lot easier too.

We've definitely got some nontraditional ideas we're batting around. Nothing's final yet, though.
