They All Laughed At Me
07.26.04 (10:28 pm)   [edit]
But I was serious when I said I wanted a carnival-themed wedding...but more on that later.

This weekend Mom and I flew to Miami for my cousin's wedding. It was awesome. As his bride entered the church and came down the aisle, my cousin seranaded her with "The Impossible Dream". There wasn't a dry eye in the entire church, including the bride's macho big brother. I got my uncles on camera doing the "Electric Slide" and my Mom looked ethereal, putting all to shame. Overall, the wedding was a success.

On the way home from the reception I told my Mom I would rather elope than have a huge wedding. I told her I would prefer to spend money on a down payment for a house than spend the average $20,000 for a wedding. She understood, but suggested a small wedding on the beach as a compromise. Mind you, we're planning a wedding without a boyfriend much less a groom in sight. Anyway, I told her I wanted a carnival/circus wedding with magicians, sword-swallowers, acrobats, jugglers and contortionists with a huge circus tent. She started hyperventilating, so I told her I was kidding but in truth, that's what I want.

Figuratively speaking, weddings are circuses anyway, with the Maid of honor juggling two bouquets and a ring, drunken relatives acting like wild animals in need of a tamer, food-eating contests between guests who didn't bother to RSVP but showed up anyway, the baudy Bestman acting like a clown to provide humor, and finally the bridesmaids performing a dangerous balancing act with smiles pasted on their faces despite wearing hellishly uncomfortable dyed shoes. So why not make it literally a circus?

I just went to the circus last week. I wouldn't be surprised if you could talk them into letting you do a wedding in their tent and doing a show around it. It might cost a few thousand, but it depends on the circus.

I went to Circus Chimera (circuschimera.com ).

Did I hear WEDDING? Come fly away with me in my Yellow Submarine! Oh, wait. Submarines can't fly. Also, my wife wouldn't approve. Seriously, it is my opinion that your invisible groom doesn't know how lucky he is!

it wouldn't bother me if he was invisible as long as he was real in every over way.
