Like most days, I began this one with a search of the the local news in the world of weddings so I could find something fun to talk about in my daily wedding blog. When I came across this story from the Macon newspaper, it had a promising title: “Wedding was a ‘moving’ ceremony.” I thought to myself, “What… did these people decide when all their friends came into town for their wedding, they’d also ask them to help with a house move?” To be honest, having your friends who are already in town anyway help you move seems like pretty brilliant wedding advice. Maybe even the best wedding advice ever, now that I think about it. So I read the article.
It wasn’t at all about getting friends and family to visit you and then carry boxes, which was a bit disappointing. But my first bit of wedding advice today is going to be to consider it. I mean really… why not make your guests help you move? Most people move right around the time they get married, movers are expensive, and weddings are expensive. So the least your guests can do after giving them a $200 a plate meal is carry a couple of boxes and maybe a couch. Heh… if you get them drunk enough, they might not even mind too much (as long as you don’t mind your new hubby’s prized 52″ plasma getting broken… or rather, don’t mind that he minds).
Sadly, the article had nothing to do with getting your wedding guests to help with moving. Instead, it turned out to be rednecky wedding story from Macon, GA (hey… I’m originally from Georgia, so I’m allowed to make fun!). I almost stopped reading and went on to something else, but something about the story wouldn’t let me stop reading. And by the end, I was in tears. Tears! Over a newspaper story! I’m kind of ashamed of myself. Am I really so desperate to get married that I start bawling like three-year-old who just scraped her knee every time I read a slightly sappy wedding story?
Please… someone out there read this wedding story article and tell me if you were crying by the end. I’ve got to know whether or not I’m losing my sanity ASAP! Thanks.

haha that’s not a bad idea. When I got married and moved into a place with my wife, it took days. Then you have to organize everything. That week was a total mess.
