If Weddings Were Planned by Men

25 Jan

This isn’t a post knocking the process.  Meeting the needs of all involved parties requires a limber mind, (self medication) and flexible vision, (ability to think beyond yourself) traits not naturally endowed to myself.  BUT, for the sake of discovery, lets explore the possibilities of a Man Wedding.

  1. The Venue:  Clearly we would need a space heavily fortified with tiki bars (live during actual ceremony), giant BBQ pit, built in stage, dance floor

    (preferably lit beneath), luxury port-a-potties and a cigar/scotch lounge for the groom and groomsmen.  This alleviates needs for actual wedding venue selection, officiator choice and adds the charming tropical cocktail addition for the ceremony.

  2. The Food:  I’m positive, beyond fast food, it’s the wedding “industry” driving sub par food production.  To cut down on this, lets have GOOD food cooked FRESH on site on a BBQ!!  Marbled meat, corn, beans, cole slaw, fried fish (obviously cooked in GIANT Fry-Daddy) amazing bread and fresh fresh salad (optional).  In traditional BBQ style, allmeals served on paper plates with the classiest paper napkins available.
  3. The Theme:  Something awesome:  Rat Pack, Luau (General island paradise theme), Surf-Bar, Dive bar (with Guns n Roses supporting theme)..etc etc…
  4. The colors–Really?
  5. Center pieces:  Tabasco, salt , pepper, extra napkins and possibly a classy bucket of cold cold beers.
  6. The Invites…mass email.
  7. The Music…absolutely awesome..funk, blues, Sinata, country and classic..band must be master of all genres.
  8. Gift Registration:  Wells Fargo
  9. Attire:  Grooms men, classic black tuxes. General populace: Clothing designed for getting loose.  Possible late night party missions and/or aquatic activity.
  10. Flowers:  Palm trees, cactus and possibly baby pine trees to be planted on our property.

And that just about covers it.
