Long Time No See
December 14, 2007
I’ve finally emerged from the pile of Bridal magazines I’ve been trapped under for the last long while. It was only four magazines, but I swear that those things weigh 800 pounds each. Seriously, where do they find enough paper to publish page after page of pink wedding gowns? Where?!?!?!?
Wait, this probably explains deforestation. Forgive me, homeland of Oregon, for purchasing those magazines. I find the tips on ‘Green’ weddings deliciously ironic.
So, why haven’t I been writing lately? Probably because I’ve been thinking more seriously about my own wedding and spending a lot less time to make fun of things I don’t like. Fortunately, my wit is back (I hope) and I can’t wait to start sharing more of the items I find some entertainingly awful, starting with divorce.

Wedding Crap Burnout
August 29, 2007
Just 3 months after the engagement, we at Stupid Wedding Crap have a crazy degree of wedding burnout. So, after a brief break from all things wedding related (including this marvelous site) we’ll be back with more new, terrific crap.
Thanks for sticking with us. Now, back to the show!

Please pardon our dust
May 29, 2007
I’m doing some theme work around here. I’m going green (can’t deal with Tiffany blue/pink combo anymore) and it might take awhile to get things working correctly. Please bear with me.

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.

Hello world!
May 22, 2007
The colors on this blog are pretty pukey. Sorry, but I’ve found a wedding theme and I’m sticking to it. Yes, there’ll be some work to do in the future, but for now let’s get the good times rolling and the horrific party favors posted!
