I'm supposed to be planning a wedding, but haven't done anything about it yet. I guess I just don't have the energy of other Super Brides who can visit multiple venues faster than a speeding bullet and evaluate dozens of vendors in a single bound. I think I'm more the exception than the rule. In fact, I'm probably considered a mutant (as in "X-Men"). Yeah, call me "Sloth": my power is the ability to ignore all social pressure due to laziness! But seriously, this article from the Washington Post [4/28/03 Note: link deleted because it doesn't work anymore] is a pretty funny read about how crazy (American) wedding planning can be. I especially like the quote:
''Have you ever wondered why it takes a bride months and months to plan a wedding, but a good funeral can be pulled together in two days? The elements are all the same -- church, minister, music, flowers, guests, food.'' -- Lori Rispoli
