love & marriage, horse & carriage
i attended jim & amber's wedding today. an outside wedding ... in june ... in stormily humid north carolina. not something i'd pick, but to each their own, eh? it was held at the quaint b&b (that's bed & breakfast for the uncouth) located near the mineral springs in fuquay, known as the fuquay mineral spring garden & inn.
for those considering an outside wedding, i'd like to offer these bits of information. your guests will be eaten alive by mosquitoes; your guests will have to walk across soft ground with their heels sinking into the grass; your guests will get mosquito bites & sunburn (especially if they are of the lighter persusasion & stupidly do not wear sunscreen while sporting a halter top ... not that i'd know anything about that); and your guests will sit in chairs which sink into the aforementioned ground & thereby view your wedding while listing to the right at a 45° angle. or i could be making all this up. except not.
at any rate, the horse-drawn carriage was a nice touch. the fact that it was open for the guests to take spins around the block ... even better. if only i had a camera with me. hee.
speaking of marriage, last night we went to see the stepford wives. as i expected, it was entertaining, not to mention a rolicking mockery of the roles that women are expected to fill or relicated to fill. for the record, i don't believe this movie is typical of all men (before someone accuses me of such), but i do find it entertaining as i've met men as buffoonish as some of those fellows. to be fair, i have also met women who relegated themselves to the roles of the stepford robots, sometimes without encouragement from their husband. however, i still love men & there's no man-hate here. in fact one day i'll have one of my very own & i will love him & hug him & squeeze him & name him george.
