It’s Time to Get Things Started…

What do two sisters do when their third sister is being thrown an engagement party by her Fiancé’s family — of whom the two sisters have NEVER MET BEFORE?

Well… they have Muppets made in the Bride & Groom’s likenesses OF COURSE! I mean REALLY?! What else would anyone POSSIBLY DO in a situation such as this?

Because it made perfect sense, right? For two utterly refined sisters - one older (me) and one younger than the bride to find themselves invited to an event honoring the one in the middle and her husband to be… being thrown by lovely unassuming people that are only expecting that what anyone else would…

And so… Without paying any attention to the rituals of registries or the importance of properly defined engagement gifts — we ignored the etiquette of which we have grown accustomed and invited along our new Muppet Sister and soon to be Muppet Brother-In-Law…Both of whom were unusually reserved, refusing to participate…

They didn’t even make eye contact with anyone other than each other! And my goodness — the complaints about the heat! Get over it already–YOU DON’T SWEAT! Who knew Muppets could be such SNOBS!

In fact, it wasn’t really until the sangria set in and someone busted out glow-in-the-dark bocce ball that they let down their guards to join in the celebration…

What a great party it was! And in no way were the bride and groom embarrassed, right? Just like no one thought odd of the other two sisters… hmmm…

Nana Inspired #4 – She’s Getting Married

By Ry M. Sal on March 31, 2010 12:58 PM | 13 Comments

It’s official, my sister is getting married.

And although I’m not so sure how she’ll feel about this little online announcement to the UNIVERSE, I’m going to be THAT PERSON, and lay it all out there. Because this is exciting and I NEED TO TELL EVERYONE. I mean why keep it a secret–Why keep BOUNCING OFF THE WALLS when I have the INTERNET at my finger tips?

So… when she asked me to head out to our parents house for some necessary planning, I threw the kid in the car and did what I was told. But then our Mom surprised us by pulling out Nana’s wedding dress — which not only fit my sister — who is gorgeous, by the way (just in case you needed to know), but also sent us to the world of 1939 to when she was married… And just what are we going to DO ABOUT IT? Well we are going to drink wine, lust over the antique fabrics and decide to turn the headpiece into a necklace OF COURSE. I mean REALLY. And what would make Nana happier? The queen of the accessory…. the reason beads were invented…the spark that ignited it all.
