Mayhem Rising

If you ever thought a rehearsal dinner was a simple, small affair, you were wrong. I’m starting to think there might be people at the rehearsal dinner who I forgot to invite to the wedding, it’s getting that big. This is not okay for the anti-social part of my genetics which, as you could guess, inhabit a large number of my family members as well. We’ll be the big guys leaning against the building out of the line of fire.

It’s really making me wonder how I will be at my kids’ weddings. Will I think everything has to be the way it was for me in 2009? Will I go totally in the opposite direction and suggest everything completely different from the way I did it? Will I think everyone on God’s green Earth will be insulted if I don’t invite them or sing the right song or have the right flavor cake? What crazy new traditions will appear (apparently our parents didn’t have this whole Internet thing and therefore registries were not fun or easy-can you imagine?)?

I’m not trying to call anybody old-fashioned here but, well, back to the old “I’d like to know everyone at my own wedding” argument. Is that too much to ask on my Big Day?
