The Evil Princess and I recently attended the marriage of the daughter of a dear friend.\u00a0 Times have changed.<\/p>\n
The minister delivered a moving ceremony.\u00a0 He read his Bible passages from a Kindle.<\/p>\n
The music was administered from an electronic board that resembled something from the bridge of the Starship Enterprise, complete with attached laptop.<\/p>\n
The commemorative ice sculpture was fitted out with tubes through which icy martinis were mixed and dispensed to the attendees.\u00a0 In assorted flavors such as apple and raspberry.\u00a0 It turns out that raspberry vodka martinis are blue, and apple ones are green and don\u2019t actually taste too bad\u2026I never had a tart martini before.<\/p>\n
I suddenly felt very, very old.<\/p>\n
I hadn\u2019t felt that antiquated since the marriage of my older daughter. I told her that since she was supposed to wear \u201csomething old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue,\u201d I\u2019d be happy to let her borrow<\/em> the old, blue<\/em> steel Smith & Wesson .38 Chief Special I was wearing under the cummerbund of my tux on the night I married her mother almost thirty years before, and I\u2019d be happy to buy her a new<\/em> thigh holster so she could wear it under her bridal gown.<\/p>\n She told me I was unclear on the concept\u2026<\/p>\n Is it me, or have wedding customs changed?<\/p>\n The minister reads the vows for the happy couple from a Kindle.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0Hi-tech ice sculpture martini mixer.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/MassadAyoob\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/Wed03.jpg\" "\\"Wed03\\"")
