So I started this whole wedding planning thinking I would do everything anti-tradition. This included getting rid of the bouquet toss, the garter toss, the chicken dance, the white dress. Shoot! I might even be introduced to ACDC. But when it came to things like bridesmaid and bridal showers, I thought it would be fun to keep those things. What I did not realize is that with tradition comes headache and a lot of drama. My bridesmaid situation started with people complaining about wearing black, about not wearing black, about buying a dress, about not buying a dress. Then the shower came, and it started with 20 people and slowly started disintegrating to 4. I had excuses which ranged between "I have church", "I have to drive my husband to scuba test" (can't make this sh*t up), and there is a 99 cent special at McDonald's (okay I am joking about that one). So I made the best decision I have made since decided to not have the crystal trees, cancel the shower. All of sudden I got all these calls and sympathetic messages "oh I am so sorry", "We can still go out another night". The funniest part of it all is everyone thought it was someone else that screwed up when the truth is they all did. Well except for 4! (and one included me) So my special 3, and I are going to drink champagne, and eat a fancy brunch with goat cheese I hope. Screw this wedding crap - I am eloping!
