i'm stickin with you

so my friend skrittle is getting married. for a while, fight and i have been thinking about pursuing a career in wedding planning. we've got a lot of great ideas. here's the idea we pitched to skrittle and his soon-to-be-wife (an idea they immediately shot down):

typical wedding set up. friends of the bride on one side, friends of the groom on the other. the wedding music plays and the bride walks down the aisle just like normal. but wait. where is the minister? he's not there. who's going to perform the ceremony? this is a disaster. then a video screen appears. it's the minister on his scooter (the minister is our friend poland jones who is authorized to legally marry people). "i better hurry. i'm going to be late," he says. he's weaving in and out of traffic. then he crashes. he digs himself out of the rubble and start running. "i cant be late for this wedding!" then someone starts shooting at him. the bullets are wizzing by. he's finally shot. there's blood everywhere. the video fades to black. then, all of the sudden, the minister jumps out from behind a curtain. "i barely made it. this must mean it's really true love." applause breaks out. the ceremony is performed. a total success. a wedding none will ever forget.

martha stewart? we're trying to reinvent weddings.

natali said...

it was a joke. but the idea of you martha and fight planning weddings together does make me happy.

ps you have a potential customer. this is so exciting.

This makes me actually consider getting married.

we have a million more ideas. but we also realize we'd have a difficult time talking the bride and groom (or groom and groom or bride and bride -- we'll do same-sex marriages) into most of them. a lot of them have to do with fake bomb threats, fake kidnappings and fake murders.

Heather is getting married and her and her fiance want to have a Mario wedding where the minister comes out of a green pipe. Then at the reception they would have go cart racing where they throw turtle shells at each other. I don't remember all the plans, it was very elaborate. But I would have to dress up as Peach.

sounds fun. i know of two people who can legally perform weddings both of which would probably dress up like mario if the price was right (which price will include a finders for me).

brian said...

a finders fee, i meant
