till death do us part. so went to katy's wedding this weekend. in new york. or more accurately new jersey. this marks the second to last wedding in my record year of weddings. had alot of feelings and nostalgia tied into this wedding, but none to share, so just some thoughts. i think i want my wedding to be totally non-traditional. as in no suits and ties, no ceremony in a church, no priest or any other religious figure. i kind of like the idea of having a friend preside over the vows. i wouldn't want a huge banquet, maybe something more of a pool party. i want my best men lineup to include women, so that it'll be just the best of. i don't want to be the center of attention but more just part of the attention. i'm not sure i'm down with much of the traditional weddings things. i feel like this might be a slight issue because -- making a broad generalization here -- most women want a semi-traditional wedding. with long pretty dresses, nice silverware and properly attired guests. it may be hard to convince a girl to spend the most special day of her life in a swimming suit and flip flops. it may be hard to convince a girl to allow for female and male best ofs. it may be hard to convince a girl to spend the most special day of her life with me period, much less with all this other crap. i feel like although i am against the institution of marriage, i must devote some thoughts to the actual ceremony part of it. because that's what people my age talk about sometimes, and i might as well have some ideas packed away just in case. after all a boy scout is always prepared.



the rest of the new york was very chill. unlike most new york trips. i had alot of time to just sit around and bum. didn't go out, didn't move much, only used the subway once. didn't get to see some people i wanted to see, but that happens on a short trip. did get to have lots of conversation with people, which was nice. sometimes when you roll in big groups all the time, real conversation is at a minimum. i really like new york nights during the summer. when everywhere is still warm, everything is still open and everybody is finally off the streets. that's the best time for new york right there. wandering streets and walks with coffee, cigarettes and conversation. or just plain sitting. the days in new york summers are freaking hot though. humidity is not a game. thinking about non-traditional wedding ideas kinda is though.
