Some time ago I wrote a post that made me smile a lot and, apparently, my readers loved it too. Well, basically what had happened? That during weddings, while I was working, I noticed some particular situations that deserve to be told, because some bizarre things really happen, which make you laugh, but also make you think.
“Victim” of my new reflection are again them: the guests
“Poor, but what will these guests do so wrong?” – I’ll reveal this to you in a future post -. Actually, being a wedding guest is not easy.
When the guest finds participation in the mailbox, he already panics.
If it is a woman who finds it, she will immediately be anxious about the new dress to buy (and to combine well with all the accessories: bag? Clutch bag? Scarf? Earrings or necklace? Sequins or rhinestones?), If it is a man, the first thought will go to the weight that this marriage will have on their family budget.
But beyond the initial shock, have you ever wondered how many “small tortures”does the “ideal host” have to undergo? Here is my list.
The perfect guest must:
- be happy to have been invited
- look for a new dress, possibly never seen before, perhaps following the style requested by the spouses (so-called dress code )
- (for women) endure uncomfortable heels, walk cheerfully – without looking like hot coals – on lovely gravel and cobblestone paths
- (try to) avoid taking pictures with your cell phone every single moment – so they are always all shaky, ugly and dark-
- quickly look for a place in the shade before the usual aunts always occupy it
- bear the heat with nonchalance, indeed: do not sweat
- smile at all the children who screaming run left and right, because the spouses did not consider an animator essential
- arrive at the refreshments not too hungry and respect the queue that leads to what remains of the buffet
- if requested by the spouses) lend themselves to some entertainment games
- (for women) throwing themselves with desire – and desire – to catch the bouquet on the fly – woe to those who dodge, know that the bride is really terrible-
- (for men) don’t ruin the throw of the bouquet by throwing yourself in place of women
- do not run away immediately after cutting the cake
- do not stay until the end because the spouses are tired
- All of this is obviously in an extremely ironic key, but I challenge you to bet that you have never been in one of these situations – indeed, if you want to tell me! -.
- Actually there would be a lot of episodes, so I’m sure I’ll list more of them very soon!
