Engaged to Consumerism
May 22, 2007
This is the inaugural post on StupidWeddingCrap.com. This site was conjured up when I came to some realizations and points of confusion:
- I’m getting married.
- What am I supposed to do now?
- Maybe the Internet can help.
- There is no way in the world people are actually out there buying hay bale wedding favors
- Maybe the Internet is full of crap.
- Wait, if people weren’t buying hay bale wedding favors, wouldn’t those companies just go out of business?
- I am not going to have any hay bale wedding favors.
- Do people really need wedding favors anyways?
- The typical magazine-cover wedding seems to consist of a lot of expensive crap that people don’t need. See “One Perfect Day: The Selling of the American Wedding“, but I’ve never been to a wedding that actually involved hay bale wedding favors.
Stick with me as I explore the underbelly of the wedding industry. I’ll be posting stories from wedding party members, pictures of truly horrific wedding-themed tchochkes, and figuring out how the heck to plan a nuptial celebration. Hopefully, one that involves as little stupid wedding crap as possible.

Mine would be made out of brownies. Maybe I should just have a brownie buffet.

Wow Abi!
So glad you mentioned this site on HeatEatReview, it looks great and i’m super-psyched to read all the archives!
If you had a brownie buffet at your wedding you would seriously be my personal hero!
