I heard some other power couple got married this week. Bill and Katie I think their names were, right? Something about being big fans of the Kansas City Royals, I don't know, I wasn't paying much attention. It did seem to be all over the news. Why do we care so much about people we don't know? I heard they aren't even American, like Obama! [That last statement was a joke folks, calm down. Here's another option, "I heard they aren't even American, like Trump's hair!"].
I hear from the grapevine that these Royals fans had multiple changes in transportation. I think we can outdo that pretty easily. I want to see B on a Razor Scooter for the duration of the ceremony. He can be kickin' some wheelies around Corrin. I bet if he starts to practice now we could even get him to ride a scooter while on a pogo stick.
And Corrin should be using a pogo ball. Do you remember pogo balls? I was pretty awesome with one of those things.
In fact, I was pretty awesome on the old school scooters as well.
I did actually have this scooter (this one is not mine) and it was this color. Remember, it was the 80's and it was okay for boys to wear neon pink as well.
Well, as you can see we have gotten pretty far off our original topic. It is like listening to Gary Busey.
We've established that I am self-centered, right? And while I love a good wedding, I can always use some incentive to go. Sure, I may have been tapped as a groomsdude and I guess I have some responsibilities associated with the title, but maybe I need a little more.
Plenty of weddings like to leave you with a little memento of the occasion. Something that you can take home, put on your counter, and then throw away about 4 weeks later when you finally get around to cleaning that part of the house. Maybe it is that old candy that was left on the table where you sat. Perhaps it is a small thing of bubbles to blow on the couple as they leave the church instead of rice, which I hear makes birds explode.
(No birds were harmed in the posting of this blog). Or maybe it is a nice poem, or a mix tape.
In this age of busy schedules, instant gratification, Facebook, Obama, and Chilean miners, what do the wedding-goers of today want to take home? How about an iPod Touch?
I know that is a wedding I would attend. Yes, they can be pricey. How about something that really represents the Central Coast? Yup, Mo's BBQ Sauce. We can relive every moment while sucking down pieces of pork that have been slow cooked over a fire.
Or just be classy and leave some Benjamins on the table for everyone. I can stuff my wallet full of 'em.
Really I am suggesting that you bribe us. Don't worry, I'll be happy to attend your wedding regardless of what you do for us. But I don't know about the rest of them. But this could help.
