we traveled down to lost angels today to attend our cousin’s wedding.
when i say “we traveled,” i mean hmc drove down yesterday, while i flew down today (having walked through the pouring rain to bart). and when i say “our cousin,” i mean hmc’s second cousin. whatever that means.
hmc’s related because these cousins come from her grandpa’s sister’s side of the family. all i can remember is that they seem to have a completely different last name, and that we never see them at all.
i vaguely remember them coming to our wedding. then again, i vaguely remember a lot of things from my wedding day.
however, i do vividly remember their wedding gift.
of all the useless things we got for our wedding, this one tops the cake. a christian wedding statue.
This beautiful white porcelain Circle of Love statue is a wonderful gift to give to a couple for a wedding, anniversary, or any occasion. The Circle of Love couple statue is entwined in itself to create a strikingly beautiful and simple image of unity and togetherness forever. Standing at 7.25 inches, this Circle of Love statue makes a great cake topper that can be then used as a statue in the home. Gift boxed.it’s not like we weren’t registered anywhere. macy’s, rei, pottery barn, and even williams-sonoma for the hoity-toity types.
but what did we get? a circle of love couple.
now, with the second cousin getting married, it’s finally a chance for sweet retribution! sure, you’re registered likewise at the normal places, but who says i need to buy you what you want? maybe a wifi ambient bunny or a hello kitty camcorder is what you didn’t know you really needed? or even better, how about true images, the bible for teen girls, when you need to talk about oral sex with your thirteen-year old daughter, but in a biblical context?
alas, after being there and seeing her so happy on her big day, as well as her being so touched that we attended, i realized that wedding days are not days to exact petty revenges for christian ceramic figurines.
enjoy your hand blender, second cousin and second cousin-in-law(-in-law?)!
Posted at April 8, 2005 11:20 PMdon’t even think of pawning that circle of love crap off on us. we will take an oral sex bible, however.
but not a christian one. that’s gross.

does anybody know who owns the publishing rights to “the oral sex bible?” i think it would make a SPECTACULAR american network television sitcom.
