American Wedding

So I just watched “American Wedding” and I have to say that while this probably isn’t the best movie to get you thinking about your own wedding, I did come out of it with some thoughts on my wedding. First, I really liked the vows that the character Michelle said to Jim, and I got to thinking, “do I want to write my own vows?” Because I generally like the traditional vows, and the less I have to speak from memory or read the better I’m thinking. Also, I know something will go wrong, but I just hope it isn’t anything major. Finally, it is kinda funny that my super talented drama / singing family is doing nothing like that and it is Lauren’s aunt who will be singing a song. I can’t remember the name of the song, but if I remember correctly it is by Micheal W. Smith (Lauren if you read this, post what the song is so I can find it if I ever forget agian). Let it be known that I’m not complaining that my family isn’t doing anything like singing or whatever, when your two parents are doing the ceremony they are already doing enough. I am saying that it is amusing that no one in my family is playing an instrument or singing a song (if we only had one of my two parents do the ceremony it would probably be Dad, and I would probably have had Mom play the piano or organ). I mean when your Mother double majored in Piano and Voice in college it is usually assumed she would do something. But I just get a kick out of thinking about that. It is kinda calming because my family isn’t the focus on the stage more then Lauren and I are at any point in this whole deal. I do kinda think that Aaron is bummed I haven’t asked him to do anything terribly special. I am asking him to be a groomsman, but ever since I told him that he wasn’t goning to be the best man he has sorta flipped. He is always muttering something about what he could be doing. Whenever I mention Laurens aunt singing he asks what she is singing, and says something about not feeling imporant because he is JUST a groomsman. He once told me that he wanted to have me as his best man, but now he says something about having his friend Chris (if he ever gets married….which if you know him he says all the time, which makes everyone else know that when he falls he’ll fall that much harder then the rest of us) so I figure he must feel pretty unimportant because being a groomsman isn’t a small thing. I have lots of really good friends, and I didn’t have to pick my brothers as my groomsman, I did because they are important in my life. I mean, right now I have to think of one more guy to pick and I’m having a hell of a time trying to decide. So they should be honored that they were the easy ones, not complaining about not getting to do anything “cool” at my wedding. I mean David is cool, he just is so laid back that he could care less. He stood up at my cousins wedding and just rolled with it, and so did Aaron, but I guess Aaron assumes being a groomsman is no big deal. Oh well, not much I can do about it at this point.

At any rate, that is my rant for the moment while reflecting on really silly stuff about weddings, so I’ll go on looking for some lyrics to a song I heard on the soundtrack of “American Wedding” and then go to bed. So….

Thank you, and Goodnight.
