Acton Wednesday Oct Spare me weddings and their many problems I never go to another wedding in my life Ill feel that I have accomplished something Thats rather a negative approach but its how I feel about wed- Its not the wedding itself They are harmless enough affairs and give some people a chance to weep as copiously as they do at funerals Its the getting ready for it Long before the event there are len gthy discussions about wedding gift In the good old days you could buy tbe happy couple an electric iron or a toaster or a pair of sheets- something running around Si bucks Many a lucky couple wound up with four Irons six toasters four roasting pans and enough sheets to outfit a small hotel Not any more gift has to have class or glamor It must be unusual or striking When you get into those ad jectives youre looking at for a small ornament to ISO for something bizarre enough so that nobody else will duplicate As a result todays young couples sometimes emerge from tbe deluge of gifts with enough stuff to set up a store but without a frying pan a casser ole dish or sheets and blankets Art has become more Important than utility The buying of the gift Is put off and put off because its a terrible t me of deci sionmaking for the women of the couple Invited to Ibe At last just before the wedding there isa desperate foray to the shops a sinking feeling that there isnt a decent gift In town and a last- minute snatch at something nobody would give to Salvation Army Then theres the problem of what to wear For the men its simple put on your best suit a clean shirt a conserva tive tie and shine your shoes For tho woman its agony Whats the weather going to be like Ive seen wo men freezing to death In summer dresses at a June wedding and sweltering under a fur neckpiece at an October wedding Can I wear this dress No SoondSos be there and they saw me wearing It at the last wedding But its almost brand new and 1 have the bag and shoes to match perfectly How about this one No Its a year out of style This one No its too dressy I dont wont to outshine the bride Now I just had something to match those ivory shoes and purse Id be all set But the only dress that will go with them has a red splotch on the shirt where that boor spilled wine on me at tbe wine and cheese party Eventually Momma goes out and buys a new dress to go with tbe shoes and There goea another hundred icks or near enough When the wedding is out of town things are even more complicated and de bate rages on Will Momma get dressed up at home and drive a hundred miles to the wedding during which journey her costume becomes wrinkled and shabby looking end her makeup steadily deteriorates until she arrives at the church looking like an absolute hag Out of the question Should we get a hotel room near the site of tbe circus so she can spend an hour getting ready be fore the service Expensive and hard to get Theyre always booked to capacity when you call at lost minute Besides father cant stay overnight He has to be at work in the morning and doesnt relish getting up at five to drive borne change his duds and get Into harness How do we deliver the present Too late to mail it cant deliver It to the house because there wont be time Cant lug it to tbe church because sitting at a wedding service with on eightfoot square box is just not done Just as awk ward to take it to tbe reception Cant leave It in the car It might be stolen By this time husband feels like sending a wire saying were both down with a small case of leprosy and taking an to the wedding gift But the show must go on Weddings are sacred occasions and once youve ac cepted the Invitation its tike joining the Foreign Legion You cant opt out with out dying in your boots Somehow things usually get sorted out and the couple heading for the wed ding drive off the car full of very bad vibes for some time The wife has forgot ten her earrings and they have to turn around and drive five miles home to get them Or shes scuffed shoe Or its either damp or windy and hairdo is coming down Husbands seethe like one of the lower levels of Dantes Inferno I can bear the wedding service and even get a kick out or it remembering how spartan ours was But then comes the blasted reception usually about IS miles from the church following a map that was not designed by a great carto grapher Ive known people who wound up 30 miles away from the reception be cause they took a wrong or right turn Why dont young people just go off and get married at the manse with couple of witnesses It would save their parents a great emotional and financial stress and theyd be just as married Everyone who Is Invited could send a cheque and save them a lot of emotional and financial stress and the nearbreakup of
