Son of a biscuit eater

I was really excited because we're going to Zane's coworker's wedding tomorrow. I don't really know them well, but just the idea of getting dressed up and leaving the kiddo for a while was exciting. 

Well, Zane just called and he found today from another coworker that the wedding is outside in August in Mississippi when it's been triple digit temps for a solid week. WTF? It's also supposed to rain tomorrow. I don't even want to go now. I'd rather use the babysitter and go to a movie or something, but I don't think that's an option.

Re: Son of a biscuit eater

  • Don't do it! I live in NOLA. A few summers ago, my friend had an outdoor/August wedding with NO alcohol. It was awful. Also, it had rained and my shoes kept sinking into the ground...awful

  • um.  HELLO MISERY.  I really dislike outdoor weddings on the whole.  Everyone gets all dressed up, their hairs did, etc. and then due to humidity and heat, my face melts off, my dress wrinkles and my knee pits sweat, and my hair poofs up like a poodle.  Just not enjoyable.

    Best of luck to you, Buddha.  I'd DIE.

  • What's that?  Ethan is coming down with something?  Poor little guy.  Guess you can't leave him since he's suddenly so sick.

  • I'm really going to need someone to explain how events like this even get planned. Even if you don't care at all about the comfort of your guests, who wants to look like a sweaty mess in their wedding pictures? Just birthed a baby pics? I'm good with the sweat, but you'd better believe I made sure I looked as good as possible in the wedding pics. 

    According to coworker#2 there is no back up plan for rain either, and it's supposed to rain on and off all day tomorrow. I'm lanie facing to the extreme.

    I'm also pretty sure the dress I had intended to wear is probably too formal now.

  • I truly think people who get married outside are crazy. I question the sanity of people who marry in July and August period. Wedding dresses are hot, y'all.
    image
  • one of the reasons we chose Nov for our wedding is because I didn't want to be hot in my dress, even though we'd be inside. 

    I looooove weddings, but I'd seriously contemplate not attending this one.

    image
  • Yeah, I would show up for the nuptuals, stick around for a cocktail or two, congratulate the happy couple, then book it on outta there.  Sorry - babysitters are too valuable to blow on a crappy evening like this.

  • I thought I felt gross at my cousin's covered outdoor reception in Savannah in May, I can only imagine that  Mississippi in August would feel like that multiplied by 1000. You can have all my non-melting vibez and TP.

    Is just the ceremony outdoors or the whole reception? I'd say outdoors anywhere in August would be an acceptable reason to skip a ceremony.

    I'm pretty sure it's pronounced your mom's a moron and if you didn't have your name legally changed by the age of 22, so are you. Unless you're from another continent. -Groomz
  • ::backs out of post::
  • Winged, your wedding had so much air going around. I don't remember seeing fans but I do remember thinking it wasn't as hot as I thought it was going to be in July in Nola.
  • I'm a Scandinavian-Minnesotan...I am pretty sure I would actually curl up and die.  I would either not go or bring a battery operated fan and a Camelbak full of ice cold water.  In a coordinating color to my dress of course.

    In all seriousness I'd probably go for just the ceremony and then leave.

  • I can't understand getting married outdoors in a place that hot and humid, but I think it makes sense when you do it here.  It would be awful to miss out on such a gorgeous backdrop as this:

  • Cali I remember your dress from pics.  It was a pick-up skirt with red thingies on it?  And maybe red shoes?  And a picture with a yellow lab....?

    yeah, two toned pickup dress. but i think it was overshadowed by mockery of roses and proud

  • I'm still bummed I missed it.  It surprised me that the times I did hang out over there, I never got trashed for it (because the dress is seriously ridiculous).  Star tried to pick apart my wedding once, but nobody else seemed to get into it (much to her dismay)....and she didn't even say anything about the dress if I remember right.  She thought the fact I served BBQ fare was trashy.  Gah, I miss Star.  I thought I might make Floyd my new Star, but I don't have the energy to read all the posts over there to keep up.
