this weekly wedding post is so lame.
so don't read it.
Who doesn't love weddings? A heartless crone, that's who.
people who see weddings as social rituals that reenforce knuckle dragging attitudes about societal norms, that's who.
LOVE LOVE LOVE the wedding betting. Gothamist has made my wedding of the week fixation so much more fun.
thank you!!!!!!!
i don't understand how the average age of the grooms can be younger the the youngest age of the grooms.
Maybe Gothamist will stop this weekly tally after Jen gets married? Please?
I haven't been up to anything today. I don't care. I've just been staying at home not getting anything done. Basically not much happening right now. Maybe tomorrow. I guess it doesn't bother me.
JUST A GOOD ADVISE:
IF YOU EVER USE A Disposable Cameras - disposable cameras BY YOUR WEDDING
MAKE SURE THAT IT HAS A HIGH SPEED FILM
