Mal ,'The Train Job'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Even the garter toss-doesn't bother me in the least. I didn't know what it symbolised--I just thought it was funny.
The garter toss *does* bug me, but not on any symbolic level; it's the very literal act of removing an undergarment from your brand-new wife *in front of a crowd* and then throwing the undergarment to a pack of guys.
Um, no. Not unless I get to make my husband strip in front of the crowd and then take off his undergarments.
I'm realizing that I've never given notice at a real job. I don't know how it's done!
Walk into your boss's office, say, "I quit from thee, I quit from thee, I quit from thee," and then dump potato salad on his shoes.
I was talking over weddings with Flatmate the other day, and I'm convinced that the vast majority of wedding tradition is scam city. Her parents are going to be shelling out $30,000 for an affair that is by no stretch of the imagination lavish.
I was like, Hey. I will bake the cake, the minister up the street can do the marrying parts, and we can party in the back yard, and then the day after you get married you can make an offer on a house.
It has been said that I'm not one to stand on ceremony.

Take this job and shove it! I ain't working here no more.
Um, no. Not unless I get to make my husband strip in front of the crowd and then take off his undergarments.
Which I would totally support you in, should you decide to go that route (or the marriage route at all) one day. IJS.

Ding Ding Ding
We have a winner!

Potato salad with mayonnaise or vinegar dressing?
Some of the other stuff is more obvious--the giving away, the kissing the bride.
That's more along the lines of the "unthinkingly" I was thinking of. I was out with this couple and he was all "I'm very old fashioned, I went and asked her father" and (granted, he was sorta a tool and I was already disliking him already) and I had to fight the urge to drunkenly lean over and ask "did you ask his permission before you guys 'did it'? Because you were sorta late in the game at the point you finally got around to it, don't you think?"
But the whole "our friends will have a screw pantomime on the dance floor" seems pretty obvious to me.

Oh, I bet we can come up with a few suggestions. Many may involve the word FUCKOS.
Walk into your boss's office, say, "I quit from thee, I quit from thee, I quit from thee," and then dump potato salad on his shoes.
Or, "Hey! I do know how to quit you!"

Hmm. It seems that should bother me, but it doesn't. I like raunchy weddings (maybe I won't invite my parents to mind) and although there are no formalised ways to sex up the groom, that can be rectified in an ad hoc fashion.
