Weddings & Crafting

I'm scared for the safety of humanity. Here I was, minding my own business, when all of a sudden I realize how many men with mullets surrounded me. Oh, backwoods of Pennsylvania, how you never cease to terrify me with how stuck in the 80's you are. And it's not even good 80's. If people were prancing about pretending they were Molly Ringwald, things would be good. Mullets were something should have been left to rot.

Mind, this was a very... Okay, so the wedding was a bit odd. I've never been to a wedding where people could wear jeans. I felt over dressed in a skirt! A simple knee length skirt! Grant it, this was only the second wedding I've been do, but it concerned me slightly. But these two things weren't what bothered me. It was the anti-feminism that got me squirming.

I'm not into the whole feminist thing. I could care less, really. Not that I don't get offended by comments about "kitchens" and "sandwiches" but I don't get easily offended by such things. This sermon actually got me squirming, though, and that takes some skill. The word "own" was used to describe a man's relationship with his "woman." No one but us college kids seemed to notice or mind. Maybe I don't get out of the house much, (okay, so I really don't, but I mean it in the metaphorical sense), but it was a bit ridiculous. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. But this lead to some very important decisions about my own future wedding if I ever have one.

1. Everyone will be dressed up. I don't care if you come dressed as Yoda, but so help me if you come dressed in jeans.
2. During the exchanging of rings, parts of Lord of the Rings will be read aloud.
3. Obviously, me wedding won't be in a church. I'll be surprised if any Catholic priest (for I am Catholic) would ever say the sermon for my wedding.
4. My mother will not be reading me poetry she wrote herself. Now, if she wants to read the Lorax to me. I'm totally for it.
5. There will be epic dancing. I will learn to waltz, tango, what have you, for my dance with Husband.

Ah... I feel better now. That whole bit with the wedding was bothering me. But the bride looked amazing and I know she and her new husband will be very happy together. They truly are made for each other and I can't see their marriage ending badly. I wish them all the luck and happiness I possibly can.

The second part of this post comes in the form of my, once again, wanting to start crafting. I have a sewing machine now. I've named it Marmalade, and we shall be bestest of friends. I hope to open an etsy shop and I keep saying I will filled with the things I make. I hope they'll be good things so they don't end up on regretsy. I'd be sad then.

Well, I'm off to set up Marmalade in my bed room and start making things.
