But… But… But… You mean you don’t want me to play the violin and sing sappy love songs from the late eighties while you and Jer stand in front of trio of white tapers and whisper to each other for six minutes?

Dude…anti-bride. This whole wedding nonsense is out of control. And unity candle my ass. Hate those things. Almost as much as I hate the sand art ceremony.

You’re right! I do need a Favicon… You know, the cobbler’s children have corns on their feet. Or however the phrase goes.

Thanks for your words of encouragement. I’m happy to see you embracing the life that you want. xo

Also here via DW /via Hollis Gillespie (taking her blogging class tomorrow.) I’ve been single for over 8 years now, and let me tell you, it’s the best. I’m over 50, raised three great kids, suffered through hellish marriages and tortuous relationships and have come to the conclusion that I am a crazy magnet and I have exited the game. I’ve never had such peace and joy before. I never shave my legs unless it’s a very special occasion or if I’m going to be wearing shorts in the summer (rarely – who wants to see my stark white legs and wrinkled knees, really?) All the women I know who are my age and married are barely tolerating the idiots they find themselves lashed to. When we were in our 20s all we cared about is if he had nice hair and could play the guitar. The ability and willingness to hold a job were not something we ever considered in the mix.

I love Date Wrecks because it so succinctly states the case about what’s really going on out there. Forget the airbrushed Match.com ads. Most of the men, especially the men my age, on those sites are liars, or just goddamned freaks. I tried Match.com, Yahoo Personals, Perfect Match and yes, the dreaded and dreadful Plenty of Fish. Face it, men my age are like parking spaces – all the good ones are taken and the only ones left are handicapped. Reeeeeeaaaaaally handicapped.

I’ve seen too many episodes of Dateline and too many Lifetime movies to think that Mr. Right is out there just waiting for me to be his soulmate. Forget that shit! I eat when I want, spend my money on what I want, do what I want – why fuck that up?? The widder lady should count her blessings that she got one good guy in her life. I shudder to think of what she’ll find out there on the internet. If reading Date Wrecks didn’t make her say, “Well, I think I’ll just put on my fuzzy socks and have a bowl of Cheerios for dinner and call it a day!” then I don’t know what would.

The soulmate myth is a load of crap, like Halle Berry getting her pre-baby abs back in six weeks! I’m glad you handed Date Wrecks on to someone else instead of just closing it down. People need to know what’s really out there and be able to protect themselves from the Noah’s Ark two-by-two mentality. I mean, I’m glad you found a guy you want to marry, but he’s like an iPhone – really cool to have and fun to play with, but not a necessity. But you knew that.

I love your sense of humor, your writing is terrific! Thanks for giving me some side-splitting laughs for the last 2 1/2 hours when I was supposed to be building a website. I see you use the Genesis framework for WP – you need a favicon, girl. A website without a favicon is like peanut butter without chocolate! JMHO. Get the Genesis favicon plug in. God, I have to quit drinking coffee and go to bed. Shit. I’ve got to go to a blogging workshop tomorrow morning! Cheers!

For the equal and opposite cover, here’s one guy doing all the parts on a teeny ukulele: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUL4Tlx15aE . i was thinking about covering this on the uke, but then I saw his version.

Dawn of the Bride?
Too bad Bridezilla is already a “thing,” it would be perfect for your blog…
