As the weekend approaches, many of you will be checking the weather forecast and the scales in preparation for the nuptials of a friend, a colleague or a family member. You might be enthused about the situation, you might be attending begrudgingly as the guest of your partner or you might be planning to make the most of the open bar. Whatever your motivation, weddings have the propensity to be bipolor: decadently opulent or distastefully banal.
Brides have their artistic vision for their special day, however, in many cases it’s heavily impaired. Bridal myopia is responsible for taffeta gowns, baby’s breath floral arrangements and decoupage wedding invitations. Heck, look at the 1980s—did every bride stare at the sun for a decade?
So, dear readers, when you’re sitting at the reception this weekend, twirling your place card in your fingers, cast your eye across the table and search for the delights we have compiled in our little gallery below. It’s customary to take the bomboniere (or favours) home with you, but the question is, would you want it? Whatever happened to the sugared almond?
-
- Excuse me, waiter? My deckchair appears to be on fire.
-
- Nothing like a bit of binge drinking at a wedding to get a marriage off to a good start. Even better if you can take it home with you. Even better again if it's trimmed in marabou!
-
- If there's rubber ducks on the table, the guests' keys are no doubt in the fishbowl.
-
- "For You." Translation: "We don't know what to do with this cheap crap once the smell of garlic prawns has faded, so you might as well have it."
-
- For the Jersey Shore bride.
-
- Nothing says 'I love you' like a crystal accoutrement.
-
- What's the bet the bride had a blue bird attached to the side of her head?
-
- No woman would choose this. That is, unless that woman is of the short-haired variety and she's planning a lifetime of home renovation with her life partner, Carol.
-
- We can only hope for a spontaneous tsunami to sweep this couple straight to Kuta Beach.
-
- A flip-flop doesn't exude class until it's adorned with a diamante.
-
- I'm afraid my appetite for life set sail with these tealight candle holders.
