Wedding Blog

As much as men might scoff when a woman says she looks for “a good sense of humour” in a partner, for me, this was absolutely a necessity. I love to laugh and make ridiculous jokes and I’ve always liked people who could do the same.

Although there are many reasons I love Mr. Hummingbird, one of the first things that attracted me to him was his ability to make and take a joke. On our first date, not only did the conversation flow freely, but we made many a silly and sarcastic crack.

Over the years, as a couple, we’ve had many a laugh and shared many a funny moment together, so the idea of having a wedding without a single giggle or joke seemed way too weird to me.

I realize that it is an important day in our lives, but I’ve never felt like starching the fun out of it by standing unwaveringly on ceremony. It’s not the way to go for us, especially considering what we’re like in real life.

So we started talking about adding some of our silly little jokes to the ceremony and/or reception and while some have been shot down (my suggestion to put up a MST3K inspired “Watch out for snakes!” sign was nixed since it could inspire fear at an outdoor ceremony), others have already been incorporated into our plans, such as including one of my favourite Flight of the Conchords songs on our playlist.

So as a lover of all things fun and silly, I want to know - what little jokes/unconventional personal touches are you and your significant other adding to you big day?

As a Tuesday Treat, my favourite FOTC song. Makes me laugh every time.
