Well guess what? Mike made our wedding into just that. By simply purchasing cups of the red college kegger variety. As shown here:
But there was no time to get new cups. There was no money to get more cups. And I couldn't justify letting all that plastic go to waste. And I was already way too exhausted from everything else that was going on. So we used them. And they have since become the bane of my wedding picture's existence. Thankfully our amazing photographer Nicole Polk was able to get shots that didn't heavily showcase the frat cups, but still. Those cups make me feel icky whenever I look at them in our photos**.
Why the hell am I still so goddamn hung up on this? Do you still have hang ups from your wedding even though it's over and done with?
*A Theta Chi rager would be a perfectly lovely wedding don't get me wrong - I just didn't want that for our wedding.
**Watch. Red kegger cups will be the "it" thing to use at weddings in a couple years. "So college kitsch!"
My photographer was a twat and my photos are shit.
ReplyDeleteAnd my videographer slept with a minor (consensually, but STILL, dude), was arrested for statutory rape, his wife left him (oh yeah, he was married with a son) and he lost all of his belongings...including our video. His picture was in Busted. I feel for his wife and son but COME ON DUDE.
I lost a bunch of weight before the wedding due to stress/nerves so my dress didn't fit perfectly especially in the chest region. So I spent the whole night pulling up my strapless dress. Well in a lot of the pictures you can see my nude color bustier when my dress started to slip down in the back. DRIVES. ME. CRAZY!!!! Just means all our guest got to see my bustier most of the night. Fabulous.
ReplyDeleteThe main 2 things that still bother me are my bridesmaids didn't get ready in time so I don't have many pics with them, and I forgot the mp3 player so I had to walk down the aisle to traditional wedding songs, (My cousin got the mp3 player to the dj right at the beginning of the ceremony too so I at least got my recessional song) those still makes me sad. Other things that were minor but I still dwell on are I didn't have time to set up the camera for my photo booth, We didn't have time to iron the tablecloths well, so they were kinda wrinkly, and we forgot to buy cake plates (luckily someone ran to get some before anyone even noticed) and I didn't buy enough candy for my candy buffet but it was still a big hit, people are still talking about how awesome our wedding was and it was the best day of my life so who cares, I can't control what transpired.
ReplyDeleteYour post had me laughing out loud! I can't believe your wedding photographer didn't ask people to put those nasty red cups down somewhere for a minute while they were taking the majority of your candid shots.
ReplyDeleteAnd breathe my sweet. Your pictures are still shit hot.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to vent. I am still hating on my venue. Serious cocks.
i had two of my friends place loose flowers in vases for my reception and i wanted them cut so they sat right at the top of the vase. but, they couldn't find scissors so the flowers were uncut and very long and awkward looking sticking out of short vases. that drives me crazy when i see those pictures! i totally understand your pain!!!!!
ReplyDeletered cups?
ReplyDeletei think they are pretty awesome....here, in spain we only found those white plastic cups all around, so maybe that is why i think yours are awesome...
Seriously, I think they look awesome. But my brain is still in college even though the rest of me is apparently mired in adulthood.
