Wedding Question
Is it considered bad luck when the unity candle blows out the second it's lit and the bride and groom don't relight it?How about if the bride forgets which hand the ring goes on her new husband?
And why is it that every single f-ing thing that happens on your wedding day is either good luck or bad luck? I mean seriously. Otherwise perfectly rational and non-superstitious people like myself suddenly turn in to old Greek women who curse and wail and tear their hair out if a bee stings the bride in the armpit or the father of the bride gets violently ill.
You just want to say, "Calm down, people. It's just a freaking wedding..."
So, how was your weekend?

Sounds like it was quite an eventful event. Was it the right or left armpit? It matters for the first dance.
It was the right.
all i want to know is what happened with the cake... did they get each other messy? or were they sweet and innocent?
One of each: He was sweet and innocent and she shoved frosting up into his cranium. I thought it was pretty indicative of their relationship up to that point. (I'm a cynic. I'll stop now...)
cynic perhaps, only time will tell whether its internal expression or external banter.
so, what does the wise K-Sra beleive in the land of frosting and a country inspired by Dolly Madison. what does such acts foretell... do share.
Perhaps the enchanting Esmerelda will gaze again in to her all-knowing bubble of air?
*stares at bubble, goes cock-eyed, falls off chair*
honestus, I see her getting bored with a man she can control.
perhaps all men need to be controlled as some moment and women, allowed to be controlled. only time will tell.
only time will tell. in the meantime, I like everyone else, promised to support and uphold their marriage so I apologize for my negativity.
Seriously though, how was everybody else's weekend? Do anything fun?
//shoved frosting up into his cranium.//
I'm pretty sure that's considered bad luck.

Didn't get out much but I took a bunch of pictures.
What if the bride calls the groom an ass in the middle of the wedding? What do the old Greek women say about that? (Because I actually observed that once!)
Sarah, I'm pretty sure that's a bad sign. Unless she meant ass as in "donkey" as in "my donkey of love."
OK, probably not...
I forgot which hand the ring went on, and put his ring on the wrong hand - because I'm so bossy I just went ahead and did it. But it was just a wedding for show and not the real deal, so I think that it dejinxes the otherwise bad luck.
And, no, that's not the couple in question. That's a photo I stole off of Google. I don't think I'd post their photo without permission. Half the time I realize I shouldn't be posting my own picture. Then there's the other half of the time.
//Half the time I realize I shouldn't be posting my own picture.//
Speaking of which, we never did see a picture of you in your Magical Cross Front Sweater of Power.
If I wanted internet stalkers I'd post more pictures. *sigh* I should really not be posting pictures, should I? Dag? What's the security consensus on that? I should get a dog and post pictures of it.
Or just post more pictures of the arsenal stored in your closet.
Wait, that may actually attract a certain type of stocker (hi [dag]).

To be honest, I don't think it matters that much. Sure, there's a remote possibility that someone might start bothering you because of a picture. On the other hand, do you really want to start second-guessing everything you post, pictures and text, based on that assumption? Someone might start bothering you because of something you post about religion, or politics or just about any off-hand remark. For all you know, there's a group of militant Mormon extremists trying to track you down right now. The only way to abolutely avoid a stalker would be to create a blog under a gender-neutral ID and post content devoid of creativity. And wouldn't that be fun?
By the way, "You Learn Something New (almost) Every Day" has now become:
The only site on the web that contains the phrase "militant Mormon extremists".
Yet there are 286 hits for "militant Mormon". These must be the moderate militant Mormons everyone is talking about.
There is so much uncertainty in the air around weddings nowadays, the statistics are against the couple.
Everyone is looking for a "I told you so" moment, a foreshadowing of the impending demise of the lovely couple.
The parties in charge try to avoid any and all jinxes meanwhile the guests try to pick out the faults. Hence boom times for wedding planners and such.
Speaking of militants...
I once went to a relatives wedding where security personnel out numbered guests.One political figure had a military escort (all of which got drunk) Later as the bride and grooms motorcade pulled away ,rifles were shot in to the air in the fashion of a 21 gun salute (blanks) The military personnel proceeded to do so as well (with automatic machine guns and live ammunition)
2 people critically injured. (hows that for a jinx?)
There was also a incident with hard drugs and the horses...(etc etc)
It finally showed up
