The other night, we were at dinner with Mr. Dalmatian’s coworkers discussing marketing (this is what happens when you attend the office holiday party of a start-up company) when one of them commented that if you put a bird on something, girls will buy it. This made me laugh because as I thought about my personal experience and quickly realized: It’s funny because it’s true. This point seems particularly poignant when it comes to weddings. I am quite confident that I am not the only bride who is drawn to anything with a these feathered, winged, bipedal, endothermic, egg-laying, vertebrate animal (definition of bird via Wikipedia.com). Perhaps it is because we ourselves feel like little lovebirds.

Perhaps it is because birds look so dapper in bowties.

Or perhaps it is because their houses are just so darn cute.

Whatever the appeal is, I am living proof that there is some validity to the fact that if you put a bird on it, girls will buy it. There is a birdcage on our mantel, a bird tray on the shelves in our kitchen, and the plates we eat dinner off of each night have a border of birds on a wire. I do not yet know how birds will be integrated into our big day. Perhaps our buffet will have to declare, “Tweet, tweet, time to eat!”
