If you've seen Elizabethtown, you probably remember Chuck and Cindy, the couple getting married at the hotel that Drew ends up in. Their mission is just to have an ultimate party for their friends because they're "lovin' life" and such, and hilarity ensues.
I'm not even sure what made me think of it, but I'm going to be Chuck! Me and Diana are setting out to do something similar on a slightly smaller scale early next year. I'm not sure if we're going to get T-shirts though, as that just seems a little creepy. You never know.
That movie came out at a very strange time for me, in fact, in one of the most odd months of my life, but I remember relating to it because I was trying to figure out what my next steps in life were, and an unexpected third party helped give me the courage to do that. The film followed that line as well.
I look forward to having the friends there at that hotel who will help celebrate the marriage of Chuck and Cindy, er, Jeff and Diana.
Ian and Donna are trying to put a wedding guest list together and I feel for them as they would much rather invite friends than relatives. But since they are having a rather small affair, it's difficult.
We aren't inviting any of the McLachlans (except for Gordon's sister and her immediate family) and only four of my family to allow them to invite more friends. I was even going to drop a couple of close friends who've watched Ian grow up, but, surprisingly, Ian said he wanted those people there.
I've always felt that wedding guests should be those you really interact with on a regular basis. After all, it's YOUR party!
My daughter is getting married next May and the politics regarding to whom they should send "Save the Date" cards is insane.
My side of the family is pretty normal - Tim (her fiance') has some wacky relatives.
As Linda says, it's their party and the decision is theirs and theirs alone.
