A Flowchart: How to Survive Wedding Season

Fitting how it all ends in gin. Nice one, Good.

Meal Preference = Personality Test

You can tell a lot by your guest's wedding meal preferences. For example, if your meal card reads:

"___Chicken or ___BADASS Lobster Motorcycle"

and they DON'T put an X next to the lobster, then you can be sure to seat them at the boring table with all the other lame chicken heads.

Scenes from an (impending) marriage

I'm diggin' these hilarious wedding planning themed comics! I literally was cracking up at every comic I read.

Adriane Tomine, author of the mini series, Optic Nerve in the Drawn and Quarterly recounts the funniest and most absurd obstacles in the wedding planning process in his new series of vignettes entitled "Scenes from an (impending) marriage".

It's gold, guys.

Buy it at the Drawn and Quarterly site, here.

Wedding Advent Calendar

     Remember when you were a kid, and you would get so excited to open up your Christmas advent calendar to get those sweet little chocolates? Well, now that you're about to get married, it's time to upgrade to something a little more "mature". Every day, you get a new beer until you get married. It's almost romantic.

Fancy Pants

Ahhhhh. This look is like a breath of fresh air. She looks totally comfortable yet completely put together. Why don't more brides wear pants to their weddings again?

A Faster Way To Try On Wedding Dresses

Trying on dress after dress and going to store after store gets a little exhausting. This looks like a crazy fun way to go dress "shopping" with your friends. All you need is a projector, a computer, and some giggly friends.

5 Things To Be Thankful For On Your Wedding Day

1. The best man restrained himself from shaving your husband's eyebrow off at the bachelor party. 

2. Your friends and family are giving speeches for you, even though they are scared shitless of public speaking.

3. You're not on your rag. 

4. Your mom got your father there on the right day, at the right time, in the right clothes.

5. You realized no one gave a f that you didn't get the extra overlay for the table cloth.

I'll Miss you, 2010

Happy New Years Y'all!

Somehow this guy managed to make all the shitty movies of 2010 look good. Makes me nostalgic.

Cheesin'

The new Smilebooth website is up and runnin' by the dope folks behind Our Labor of Love and The Flashdance. They've got mad funny Smilebooth pics, events, and a dope new blog. Check it out!

Chain Garters

I have to be honest. I hate garters. I think they're kind of tacky and ugly, and the whole "deflowering" idea it represents kind of creeps me out. I mean, obviously your family and friends know that you're gonna have sex on your wedding night, but you don't need to flaunt it in front of everyone, right?

These chain garters, however, are so bad ass that you should wear one just for fun and a little surprise for the two of you later on.

You can get em from the crafty sisters at Litter SF.

Real Gangsta Wedding: Oracle Fox

HOLY SMOKES! When I saw Mrs. Oracle Fox's wedding, I had to post it immediately. Mr. and Mrs. Oracle Foc got married in Bali in the fall. She has amazing style (as evidenced by her blog, obv).
I just can't get over that dress. It looks like mermaids crafted it from shells at the bottom of the sea.

Non Boring Wedding China

According to The Knot, you should register for two China sets, one formal and one traditional. According to Gangsta Bride, they should not be lame.

Behold:
Rob Ryan's 4 season plates. You can buy them here.

The Royal 3D Wedding

3D has officially gotten out of hand. First it was movies, and it was only a matter of time before it hit weddings too. According to the Daily Mail, Prince William and Kate Middleton are thinking about broadcasting their wedding in 3D.

Now, I could go on a rampage about how it really seems like a shameless gimic in attempt to make the royal family seem more "relevant" and "hip" to try and sell more plates with their faces on it or whatever, but instead, I'm gonna turn this into a more positive post.

I mean I completely see the appeal. Its magical! Like Harry Potter!

I think it would be fun to have some wedding pictures done in 3D.

Mr. Hare

Damn, these shoes are fine. Mr. Hare's got a passion for strictly men's footwear (darnit). All the grooms out there should pick up some of these badboys. Or these, of course.

Bachelorettes keep it real

The other day, I got an email from Jen about the gangsta bachelorette party she threw for her homegirl Lori, who apparently has mad rappin and worm skillz.

Jen writes,
No male genitalia and princess crowns here! We crafted her some awesome accessories that brought old school and new school together.

Gangstas come in all shapes and sizes. These girls know how to keep it real. Check it out.

Lori, the gangsta bride-to-be, rockin' a thick chain. (It reads, "Countdown to the wedding.")

And obviously, real gangsta chicks knit real gangsta sweaters. Ice cube and NWA got this on backorder.

And a boombox cake with a dash of dopeness comin at yo palate.

You guys are awesome!
Shout out to Lori- Congrats, I hope you and yo gangsta live happily eva afta.
