the whole "our friends will have a screw pantomime on the dance floor" seems pretty obvious to me.
God, I feel dense--what's this?
Ooh, is it the Macarena?
Or the Wedding Lambada: The Forbidden Electric Slide ?

The Olaf Olafson thing became unwieldy
Yes, it's still very unwieldy in Iceland. At least at the last time I was there, the phone book was still alphabetized by firstnames, because the lastnames had little meaning. Imagine having to wade through all of the Jennifers in town to find the one you are looking for. And, of course, Jennifer has a different lastname than her parents and her children.
Actually, the Jennifer list in Reykjavik is probably pretty small, but you know what I mean.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.
I've been to a wedding reception that included the bride pulling the groom toward her by his tie, often. Is that sexed-up enough?

Which reminds me to nitpick: ita, I hope you do NOT mean raunchy weddings, but rather raunchy receptions. Just checking.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
But what if I marry a fat hairy guy with enormous manboobs?
In that case, I believe tradition dictates that all underwear-tossing ceremonies be replaced by the two of you stepping back and the spotlight falling upon a troupe of trained monkeys who do an interpretive manboob dance choreographed to Nijinski's "Rites of Spring." I think. Gimme a second to check my Emily Post.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Actually, I meant raunchy weddings in that I was thinking of the bride and groom kiss.
The rest of it can be very asexual. Then pick up the sex baton at the reception.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
The whole garter removal, toss, flower toss, garter application was what I meant by pantomime screw.
I do the electric slide with relatives, that would be disgusting.

That's not quiet at all! Everyone can totally hear you!
I like it when that kiss gets a cheer.

Oh, I bet we can come up with a few suggestions.
It's tempting, but I shall refrain from firebombing any bridges.
