But were the earrings just unrelentingly ugly?
Also, were the bridesmaids' ears pierced? One friend of mine was ordered to have her previously unpierced ears done because the 'zilla was planning on getting earrings as a bridesmaid's gift and didn't want to have to get something different.
On the monkey story, I'm a little unclear as to the subject of the second sentence:
"The larger of the two monkeys jumped in the truck, tore his pants and bit him on the leg. He just made a total fool of himself."
WHO made a total fool of himself? The monkey? The dude who got bitten? CAN a monkey make a fool of itself? I'm thinking no.
Yeah. And did the monkey tear his own pants?
OK, that's fairly obviously not true, but still... monkey pants!

That's just craxy.
My ears were pierced once, but years of trying to find earrings that didn't make me break out in horrible eczema, I gave up and let them fill in.
So that Japanese lunch counter I go to replaced it's usual pickled-round-yellow-things condiments with pickled green things covered in mucus. I assume it's okra.
We all loved a particular dress by Watters and Watters.
We had a Watter and Watters dress in the Really Expensive Wedding, and it was the only bridesmaid dress that ever looked good on me. It was a 2-piece dress with a beaded top that had a scoop neck, and a full dupioni silk skirt. I think I still have the skirt (not that it fits anymore).
Yes, they all had pierced ears. I am remembering now, I also gave them all gift certificates to have their make-up and hair done, too. They were all going to do it anyhow, so I figured it made it easier on their pocketbooks.
We were in a wedding in Sept. 93; in a wedding in April 94; attended a wedding in May '94; prepped for an aborted wedding in June '94 (which eventually took place in May, '98); I think we might have attended a couple of weddings over the summer, but I disremember and could be thinking of a bunch of showers--I know at one, we watched the infamous OJ Bronco low-speed chase; a wedding on Sept. 17, '94; a wedding on Oct. 1, '94; our wedding was on October 29th, '94; then one wedding in November, the weekend after we got back from our honeymoon, and then one on something like December 3, of '94, and there was a big old break until May, '95.
For the most part, these weddings were fairly equally split between Scott's family, and my friends, with possibly at least one co-worker wedding thrown in, for good measure, but I can't be sure of the timing.
I do remember not one of us gave a care about a lot of weddingly stuff by the time our wedding rolled around.
"The larger of the two monkeys jumped in the truck, tore his pants and bit him on the leg. He just made a total fool of himself."
Silly monkey.
OMG, I just got an IM from the bride. There's a problem with the reception space, it won't accommodate the number of guests, and she says that she can't trim the guest list. Will my hell never end! (I considered volunteering not to come, but I thought that would be mean)

That's a pretty craptastically written story, alright. They should have been more clear on the quote. Also, a BETTER description of the monkeys might be in order.
It is clear from this story that there were two offending monkeys. Is just one of them loose? It says the owner was allowed to keep them? Keep them BEFORE they got loose? Or was he allowed to keep them after they got loose.
Gah. I hate crappy journalism.
