27 Dresses

Being a good gay, I was thrilled when I heard about the court’s decision that paved the way for gay marriage in Californiat. I just wasn’t sure who was going to take the state up on its offer. Silly me.
I’ve already heard from two couples who are getting marred in the months to come. And these aren’t smalll weddings; no running to the JOP here. These are big weddings, with all the pomp of a traditional marriage, just no bride. Or perhaps no groom?
This gay marriage stuff has me thinking – just how much will these weddings look like the heterosexual version that more accustomed to. Of course there are differences based on religion, region, family, etc., but some of the basics remain the same, especially here in the US.
I wonder…
- Will there be cake? It’s seems counter productive to eat so many empty calories the day before you have to break out a swimming suit for a tropical beach vacation.
- Will the grooms wear suits? It’s really hard to show off your biceps in a coat.
- Will there be bridesmaids? If so, will they be forced into embarrassing outfits like the taffeta monstrosities you see at straight weddings? I hope so!
Can you imagine the kind of costumes that a gay bride could cook up for his bridesmen? Why let them off easy when you can force them into Rockette outfits and ask them to do a kick line to celebrate the occasion? Why have them dressed in tuxes when they could wear Wonder Woman outfits and lasso the truth out of you during your vows?
I mean really, we’re gay. We’re suppost to have more fun than straight people right? So let’s do this… and let’s make it a gay old time.
