Weddings!

So it seems that everyone and their mother's dogs are getting married. I thought this only happened in the summer months? Apparently not. Fortunately for me, I get to participate in a lot of them. Which let's be honest, is a double edged sword. I get to be busy, help out friends, and play Martha Stewart for a while, which I tend to enjoy. The bitter part of this bittersweet adventure is the reminder that I am indeed single. I know this is an age old question that has never really bothered me before, but how come everyone loves pointing out your singleness at a nuptial function that is supposed to be about the bride and groom's wedded bliss? I get it people! I'm single! Sure, Mrs. Photographer lady, find me a husband, since that is what you "claim" to do. Yes, Aunt So and So, hopefully it will be mine you'll be attending next time. No, Cousin Whatever, that is not my boyfriend I'm talking to, just a friend. No, he doesn't have husband potential. If he did, don't you think I would have thought of that already?!?!?!  Bottom line is this. I'm fine with being single and attending these functions single. Why? Because, that means I can get my flirt on with whomever I want. It means afterwards I can go home, jump in my PJ's and watch whatever sappy movie I want with whatever pint of Ben and Jerry's suits my fancy. It also means that if I so choose, I can keep the party going long after the Bride and Groom head out and go out dancing with my girlfriends. I can do whatever I want! I can also choose to bring someone if I want to. Chances are I won't, but I could if I wanted to dangit! So basically what I'm saying is this; eventually, yes, I will tie the knot again. I will find that guy that deserves me just as much as I deserve him. He will be fabulous and I will be happy to give up my flirtatious ways for him. Until then however, it's game on! Bring on the freedom!
