Just a Gen X girl in the world

You forgot your sleeves

I’m not a big fan of weddings. I think entirely too much time and money is devoted to them and I’m not sure that either of the newly weds have given much thought to life AC (that’s After Ceremony). It’s all fun and games till someone gets divorced.

But that’s just me being cynical. And don’t even get me started on strapless wedding dresses. That’s a seriously overdone wedding fashion, and any girl with and original bone in her body should just say no as should any girl carrying a few extra kilos. Three little words for you DON’T DO IT.

And boys you’re not off the hook either. What’s with the whole suits, shirts and no ties? It just looks a little try hard casual wanker. Nearly as bad as cummerbunds that match the bridesmaid’s dresses. One word–HIDEOUS.

But swimmer Jodie Henry’s wedding has taken the whole wedding shebang to a new level. She married ex-Lion’s player Tim Notting on the weekend. She wore a lovely lace bodice Rose and Ruby white dress and he wore a Bond’s singlet. Yes, that’s right a Bond’s singlet. What a dickhead. I only hope that his white linen shirt shrank in the wash and he had no option, but I don’t think so.

So how do I know all this and why does it matter what I think? Well it was in Women’s Day and if you go selling your wedding story to a women’s magazine then I get to comment all I like. Jodie, bless her little heart, is very shy and doesn’t like people staring at her. Of course she doesn’t mind people staring at her pictures in magazines. That’s OK because like thousands of dollars changed hands and Jodie’s shyness went poof, disappeared. Amazing.

Actually I’m right off Jodie at the moment. She should be training in the pool for Olympic gold medals, but no, she quit at the height of her career, got involved with Notting, was accused of being a homewrecker by the mother of Notting’s child and had another boyfriend blame the breakdown of their relationship for his drug trafficking conviction. This girl’s life is more convoluted than a Days of Our Lives plot-line. No wonder she had no energy for swimming.

Anyway I’ll leave the final comment on this story to groom Tim (who forgot his sleeves).

“Once you’re engaged, there’s no point waiting–you might as well get married as soon as possible.”

Why, is there a baby on the way? Oh no, that was the other girlfriend. My bad. Image
