Neither of us really got to eat lunch and wouldn’t get to eat again until the reception, so we went around the corner to a little cafe to grab a drink and a bite.

While we were there debating the merits of soup v. sandwich, we noticed a gaggle of teenage girls holding some t-shirts and chatting up the barista. And then they noticed me.

“Oh my god, are you getting MARRIED?” I think the tiara probably gave me away.

“Yes!”

“Will you sign our shirts?”

They were going to a Jonas Brothers concert and for some reason they needed special t-shirts (I know nothing about the Jonas Brothers except that they attract hordes of screaming teenyboppers). They had forgotten to bring t-shirts from home, so they had bought some plain white t-shirts and were walking around downtown, asking people to sign the shirts.

And so there are four t-shirts floating around somewhere on which my Maid of Honor and I signed “The Random Bridesmaid” and “The Random Bride.”

I am The Bride. I think like many brides, I am simultaneously drawn to and repulsed by the wedding industry. My internal wedding-planning dialogue goes something like this: “Man, that’s ugly/stupid/useless, why would I want that? But oh, look at this! Oooh, pretty! Holy crap, it’s $67,458!! Why didn’t we elope again? But oh, look at that! Yaaaaaay wedding!!”

This dialogue will continue until The Big Day (and probably for some time after), but less internally and more…right here, cloaked in the safety of anonymity. Hope you’ll come along for the ride. :)

Oh, and please pardon the generic WordPress theme. I will pretty up the site soon.
