The Most Absurd, Ridiculous, Self-Congratulatory Wedding Article of all the Ridiculous, Absurd, and Self-Congratulatory Wedding Articles


I hesitate to write this post. I'm a bread breaker not a feud maker. (That rhymes and you know it rhymes.) I went to law school with this guy but I don't know him personally. And by posting this I know I might make any reunion encounters with him pretty awkward. So hopefully I can vent on this without facing slaps from a dueling glove, since he seems like the type to carry a dueling glove.

So here is the article. There is so much to unpack. I could spend 4 paragraphs going through this line by line, but I've said almost all I could on g-chat and email the last few days with fellow alumni. The sword cutting the cake, the ride around in the John Deere tractor like they're of the people, the way they signed they're love letters in college, when he says "she sharpens my pencil intellectually..." etc. There's just too many people in this world who take themselves too seriously, and it's not helping anything. Hopefully public (if one could call my blog public) shamings can put a stop to it. So here's hoping that their kids will love them despite their faults, but not turn out so pretentious.
