I like words. They’re my special friends, and I like to play with them. Which is why at age eight I was submitting sniglets to Not Necessarily The News. Which is also why it’s going to be hard for me to marry Mr. Lovebug while Demetri Martin is still single.
Anyway, I coined some new wedding terminology. Because I’m a nerd like that.
tulle shed
-noun
an imaginary storage facility for outdated or démodé wedding traditions and trappings
Environmentalists and animal rights activists agree: the custom of releasing doves needs to be put in the tulle shed.
vendor bender
-noun
a series of several wedding planning appointments, especially within a small time frame
Between my meetings with the florist, the photographer, and the caterer, I’m going on a real vendor bender this week.
honeymoon sweet
-noun
an article of clothing purchased specifically for the honeymoon; lingerie
I picked up the hottest little honeymoon sweet this week at the Victoria’s Secret Semi-Annual!
FMIL-iarity
-noun
when a future mother-in-law feels comfortable enough with the bride to voice strong, often opposing opinions regarding wedding planning details
FMIL-iarity breeds contempt.
Whatever you do, don’t encourage me. Because I could go on ad infinitum…
Hahaha…you crack me up. As my friend would say, this is all cheese and corn (as in cheesy and corny), and of course, I’m loving it.
But um, not encourage…because you know. That would be bad.
