More wedding plans
Dec. 14th, 2002 02:17 pmA different trio of bridesmaids--Katie, Allison and Sarah Jean this time--were tormenting me about my wedding last night.
Al's theory about playing the Imperial March for the groom hinges on the assumption that I'm marrying Matthew (yes, we're going to modify it so he walks down the aisle too; something about gender equality...but mostly I think it's an excuse to play a song that fits him so nicely).
This is where the tormenting part comes in. They're assuming that I'm going to marry Matt, and they got me assuming that too--arguing points that are all moot considering that this wedding is not happening.
I played off their original premise, though, saying we then couldn't use the Star Wars theme as a wedding march because I don't want a frickin' Star Wars wedding. And I think weddings with any such theme are HORRIBLY geeky--nothing I would ever let myself be subjected to. That isn't my point; my point is to mess with the traditional wedding stuff as much as possible, and maybe even have a little fun.
No more Star Wars. So I need a new song. Sarah suggested I could run in slow motion and play "Chariots of Fire," but I don't like the idea of running in a wedding dress and evil shoes. Al said "Eye of the Tiger," which I like a lot. Think of that...on kazoos, played by my friends.
Today I told Jenn, who wasn't there last night, about all this. "What do you think about 'Eye of the Tiger'?" I asked.
"I was thinkin', how about 'I'm a Little Teapot,' " she said. "Because...in a wedding dress, you kind of look like a teapot. Don't you think?"
(I read this journal entry to Jenn, who was laughing by the time I got to the Imperial March part and said "Your mother would die! Or roll over in her grave. Whichever comes first.")
