OK, I've been too busy reading other blogs to update mine yet this week, but ran into something interesting that will let me tie the two together. MFA Mama has asked everyone to write 5 weird things about themselves. (Yes, I know that subject/verb tense was wrong. Bite me. This is my blog, and I can do what I want) I left some in the comments there, but the idea intrigued me. So I decided to continue on that theme here instead of hi-jacking her comments section anymore. It took me a while to get started, but now I'm thinking of weird things left and right. This one is wedding themed. I'll probably do more later.
1. At our wedding, we each had three people standing with us. 1 relative, and 2 of the other person's friends. Rob's groomsman were my friends and my bridesmaids were his.
2. I had slept with one of the groomsmen in the past and Rob had slept with one of the bridesmaids. Yes, we grew up in small towns.
3. Neither of us thought this was weird, but everyone else that I tell seems to.
4. We served hamburgers and brats for our reception dinner.
5. We went bowling with our friends after the reception.
6. I found our clergy person in the Shopper (a free Classifieds paper). He was an idiot, but said what we told him to. He said he was non-denominational, but I think he was just in it for the money.
7. His wife was scheduled for a c-section the day before the wedding (I think. It might have been the day of.)
8. That's the 3rd sentence I've ended in a preposition so far.
9. Rob never asked me to marry him. We kinda just decided to set a date. When we got back together that time (We broke up umpteen million times in our "courtship") we just decided it was forever, or nothing. We now own guns. No divorce allowed. We've made a pact: If it's bad enough to get a divorce, it's bad enough to die for.*
10. The first date we picked for our wedding was a week after the final one. We had to change it because my 2 groomsmen were already scheduled to be groomsmen in another wedding that day. (That marriage lasted about 9 months. We ran into a bunch of our friends at McDonalds about 2 years later killing time before the guy's second wedding.)
okay, that's it for now. more weirdness to come.
*That sounds kinda extreme, but it is. Both our parents got married and divorced enough that we just don't want to do it to the kids. Now, if either of us believe that the kids are being harmed by us being together, that falls under the "it bad enough to die for" category, 'cos we'd do anything for our kids. It is just so miniscule a possibility that it's not worth tihnking about.
