The Importance of attending Weddings and Bachelor parties
I'm getting married and this is my wedding dress!!!!! Isn't it the prettiest wedding dress in the world?Hah! Gotcha! So, I'm not really getting married and the dress is just an old and pretty damn ugly wedding dress that I tried on in a second hand shop in St Andrews a while back. Now, don’t misunderstand me darlings; I am not the type of girl who frequently goes wedding dress window shopping (big chill and goose bumps). I am much rather the type of girl who goes: “Eeeeew, I’m never going to let anyone tie me down” (in the getting married kind of way…). The story of the dress is that my friends actually dared me to try it on, and well, I have a difficulty refusing dares. Sure hope nobody double-dares me to tie the knot!
One of my best friends however is getting married in about two days’ time and I will be attending both the wedding and better yet, the bachelor party. I am unconventional and when told that only guys get to go to bachelor parties I just develop a temporary deafness. I think it’s absolutely ridiculous to ban friends from such things because of their gender, I mean we are not living in the dark ages are we?
I have also been doing a little warm-up to get myself in the wedding mood. This I do by watching wedding films. The problem with wedding flicks however is that most of the time they are unrealistic. Obviously, nobody objects when somebody’s getting married. I don’t even think we have that clause here in Iceland, we just skip it, because if we get married, I think most of us are pretty sure if you know what I mean.
So here’s my top 10 list of wedding flicks in no particular order:
1. The Wedding Planner: JLo is cute as a neurotic planner girl who falls in love with Matthew McConaughey, come on, who wouldn’t?
2. Four Weddings and a Funeral: Hugh Grant is a commitment phobic Brit and loves American Andie MacDowell who’s a real tart. The star of the film is the fat gay guy who drops dead in wedding 3.
3. Muriel’s Wedding: Toni Colette plays an ABBA nerd from Down Under falls in love with everyone and no one while obsessing about her dream wedding.
4. The Wedding Crashers: Luke and Vince fall for bridesmaids while Will Ferrell rocks as a funeral crasher.
5. Pride and Prejudice: It’s all about gentry girls with no dowry who need a bloke to get married to. The star needless to say is Colin Firth in that wet shirt.
6. My Best Friend’s Wedding: Julia Roberts tries to wreck her best friend’s wedding. I promise I will do nothing of the sort come Saturday.
7. The Wedding Singer: Gotta love it because of Adam Sandler’s mullet.
8. My Big Fat Greek Wedding: Boy, do these Greeks eat! Go Greece lightning!
9. The Wedding Date: Dermot Mulroney as a hire-boy. Hoo-ya! This is his second appearance on my list. Rock points for those who know which one’s his other movie here.
10. So I married an Axe-Murderer: Such an underrated gem of a film. I love it love it love it. And it has a message: Never marry an axe-murderer! Quotes such as “Scotland has its own martial arts. Yeah, it's called Fuck You. It's mostly just head butting and then kicking people when they're on the ground” and “two words: thera py” make this movie an absolute must see.
But now, it’s back to work for me, gotta go practise catching bouquets…

This is a bit off the topic, but I think that you actually look kinda cool in that dress, like one of the ghosts of troubled aristocratic ladies that like to haunt Scottish castles. (Well, except for the fact that you don't look very troubled...)
So whats Dermot Mulroney's second film, then?

Lol, me finks they are troubled ghosts because they are stuck in these ridiculous dresses for eons and eternity... But thanks man, maybe I'll steer my dress sense more into the wedding area since it suits me lol. Oh and Dermot was Julia's best friend in her best friend's wedding.
