A Few Good Little Men…
Thursday, June 5th, 2008
Picking a date for a May or June wedding can be dicey because one never knows just how late the NHL season will go. Remember the good old days when it was done by mid-April? Best of 5, except for the final round. But Canadian brides, like Sam’s sister, who are getting married this Saturday can relax - the Stanley Cup has been won! Woo hoo! The male guests won’t spend the entire evening out in the parking lot listening to the game on the radio or hanging out in the sports bar next door to the reception hall.
June is the most popular time of the year for weddings and not only here in Canada where it’s the first month that double digit temps are almost guaranteed. Ron Wood’s daughter is getting married at daddy’s mansion in the U.K. on June 21st, and the Rolling Stone is currently looking for a few good little men to dress up like elves in keeping with his progeny’s Midsummer Night’s Dream theme wedding. That’s right, he wants to hire dwarves for the reception.
I’ve been to a number of weddings in my time, but I’ve never seen anything in such poor taste. I have seen groomsmen in grey tuxedos walking down the aisle doing the hesitation step, though. (For those of you unfamiliar with the step, it’s the painfully long one where you step on your right, step together, step on your left, step together.) Not the most manly way to walk down the aisle, but they were also wearing baby pink bow ties and cummerbunds, so testosterone wasn’t exactly the order of the day.
What’s the worst thing you’ve witnessed at a wedding? Inappropriate speeches? Raunchy dancing? Tacky theme? You’ll never get that Saturday night back, but you can get it out of your system by clicking the No Comments/Comments link below and ranting away. Today’s Jack Nation Bonus code is CHEESYWEDDINGS. It’s valid until Saturday night, of course!
