We're getting married. Aren't you happy for us? "We would rather sell ourselves to a meat packing plant than acknowledge the union of you and this gold-digging hussy. In fact, we already have." A fun little creative writing site that will let you unleash your inner, bitter socialite.

This is great, wolfdaddy.

I'm getting married in a couple of weeks and this really hit the spot.

This is so bitchy. I feel like snapping fingers in a Z-pattern.

eeesh.

This hits a little too close to home.
I'm getting married in (holy shit) four months. My fiancee and I have different religions and I'm holding my breath, waiting for someone to drop the bomb that they're not coming because our wedding's unchristian or because she's marrying a Jew.

I wish someone would have written me a letter like that before I got married. Especially before the third one.

I really like the letter from the cannibalistic cult member. Classic.

Nevertheless, according to protocol, I do have to inform you that none of the brethren can possibly attend. it appears first that you have planned to meet in daylight--something none of the senior brethren can manage. As if that were not enough, you have perhaps forgotten that the Plaza Hotel does not have a crypt filled with unconsecrated soil. Something of an oversight on your part, perhaps, my brother in blood.

Best. Excuse. Ever.

Where did you find this, by the way?

I would imagine Wolfdaddy found this either on my journal or on E2.

Btw, hi, I'm Haje, one of the halves of the people who created Not Attending. Pleased to meet you.

On a side note, I think The letter from my mother is one of the best ones. Especially because my mom didn't write it.

Class.

Sharqie baby nailed it on both counts :-)

Another "too close to home" here...

Recently I've found myself kind of in the middle of a spat where my parents aren't going to attend my sister's wedding for unclear reasons.

...worst thing is, they sent a letter. Maybe I should get a copy of it. :)

That was awesome.

Is it just me, or is this related to the white house press statement that went something like "iraq invited us..."

It seems like the stuff currently on the front page discusses it.

Wow jon-o. I hadn't been to the ugly bridemaid site for awhile. Some stunners have been submitted since my last visit. The worst (or best) was the pregnant prom dress (NSFW, or eating either). This has to be a hoax. I can't believe anyone would actually wear this to a prom.

Although there were a number of strong contenders, the condom wedding dress (bottom left, as though you couldn't figure it out for yourself) gets my vote for most absurd.
