Top Ten WORST Things About Planning A Wedding

// January 20th, 2009 // No Comments » // Family, Personal Updates, Wedding

10. Deposits – Security deposits suck.  Even though the wedding is five months away, we’re throwing away $1500-$2000 per month on SECURITY DEPOSITS!  This is truly teh sukcz!

9. Becoming addicted to WE – So even Chip is all about watching Bridezilla, Rich Bride Poor Bride, and My Fair Wedding.  It makes me feel dirty watching that channel.  Like… I’m going to start painting my cat’s nails dirty.  Just… *sigh

8. Trying to find a venue/ceremony site that’s not booked  – It is TRULY amazing how far in advance couples book their wedding date.  We booked ours in AUGUST 2008 for MAY 2009 and it was the only date available until November 2009.  It was only that because they had a cancellation.

7. Dealing with the church – Ugh.  I know they’re not making a ton of money… However, we kicked them $300 so far… I think a phone call or an email reply to a simple question would be absolutely fantastic.  THat is, within a month or so.  I’ve emailed twice in the past month and a half and called four times.  I can’t get a call or email back.

6. Choosing Your Music – For some couples, this may kick ass.  For us, it is not only a pain but absolutely IMPOSSIBLE.  We have no common interests in music whatsoever.  I think his shit is gay and he thinks my shit is gay.

5. Thinking about your Dress – I feel fat.  I’m starving.  I need to get down 4 more sizes.  My dress sizings start in a month and a half.

4. Color Coordinating EVERYTHING – I’m not into shopping for items that are this obscure shade of purple. 

3. Compiling the invitation master list – So… we haven’t talked to people in twenty years… why do I need to invite them to the wedding?

2. Considering hiring a wedding planner – I did that for a few days.  Do you know these clowns want $2000 for just hanging out with you on the day of your wedding?  So depressing.

and the number 1 worst thing about planning a wedding…..

1. Realizing how much the damn thing is going to cost.  – Nuff said.

Mouth to Meow-th: Mass. firefighter revives cat

Wed Sep 10, 8:26 PM ET

NEW BEDFORD, Mass. – A lucky cat owes one of its nine lives to a firefighter who revived it with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Al Machado rescued the cat from a burning apartment Tuesday, telling The Standard Times of New Bedford that he saw immediately that it needed air.
Machado began performing mouth to mouth on the animal as he carried it outside.
Video shot at the scene shows Machado bent over, breathing into the cat’s mouth several times. The cat, a tiger angora, was revived and resting comfortably soon after.

No humans were injured in the fire. A man and woman whose last known address was the building that burned were arrested and charged with arson, authorities said.

Two other cats died in the second-floor apartment, but two dogs there were saved with the help of oxygen from paramedics and animal rescue personnel. Pets on the other two floors — including a ferret and even some frogs on the first floor — were all saved.

Asked what it tasted like to give mouth-to-mouth to a cat, Machado laughed, grimaced and said: “Like fur.”
