If there's ONE THING we can take away from Four Weddings, it's, Always Have Great Mashed Potatoes At Your Wedding - hahaha! Yum, Mashed Potatoes! lol!

Omg, I loove this little show!  It is hilarious, four girls, four brides, all up against one another, in a competition to win a fancy holiday, to whichever bride gets the highest points, so you will looove how low each bride scores the other brides, no matter how fantastic their weddings are - is hilarious!  They'll walk into this incredible banquet hall, say, 'Mmm, it's okay, I guess. I thought we wouldda got a brick o' gold, or something...'  Anything less, and these lovely lady brides just aren't happy. My favourite kinda girls - unhappy girls, complainy girls - they're the best! I love their little complaints... 'hey, is my meat supposed to be pink??? I've never seen pink meat, before...' Love it! 'Princess Dress???  Pffhhh, more like a MERMAID Dress....' Oh, man, keep complainin' little brides, it's soo funny!

I think I love the Four Weddings Canada the best, because the brides are, well, let's just say, 'perfection' is not on the program - no need to lose a hundred pounds before the big day, just show up as you are, we'll film the whole thing - is the BEST!!  Everyone finds love, restores your faith in humanity, restores your faith that people still get married... was becoming a little passe there for a while, right? I know when I was growing up (almost done!! But I'm barely 50, so no big rush....lol!), the pressure was on to get married from a very early age... and someone kept calling me an old maid - when I was 23, because I wasn't married, yet. Yep, that kind of lovely pressure. Nothing like it to force a girl down the aisle. And that always works, forced marriage. Always a dream come true. Find a groom, get married. Bleh!!

But I love marriage - its a great place to be! lol!  You just need the right partners, and you're all set, but, man, oh, man, do I ever love the brides who love themselves, just the way they are (I say this with great love and affection, since me luvs an XXL for mah'self, too, baby!)... they are, by far, my favourite. I just love when they choose THE biggest wedding dresses - they've got an idea in their minds, and nothin's gonna stop them on their big day - very refreshing. Super-delightful. I'd give it, oh, a 4.5. hahaha!  Nooo, I'll give all their weddings a 10, because I love all the brides, equally!  I wish the one bride could win the big vacation, but I would love it if the other three brides got a little sumthin' sumthin', too, like a weekend getaway to a lovely resort.  Wouldn't that be nice? Then everyone wins, just one more than the others, and that's why the 5.5 for a spectacular venue! hahaha!

I love when the brides have a million courses for their meals - now, who eats that much food?  Oh, wait, I think that brings me back to my favourite brides, the ones who clearly looove a buffet, but, for real, why so many courses at a wedding??  Soup, Salad, Pasta, Another Pasta, Chicken, Steak, Roast Beef, Fish, Maybe a Vegetarian Meal, Dessert.... after Dessert, after Dessert... now, I love Dessert as much as the next guy, maybe even more, but come on, ladies, that seems excessive.. oh, and I totally forgot about the Appetizers before the dinner... and the 'After Dinner'... that is just a whole lot of food. And it seems like hardly anyone really seems to enjoy it - what's that all about?

One of my favourite bits of Four Weddings Canada is the entertainment section of the wedding - hilarious!  A contortionist on your Big Day! hahahaaha!  That stuff breaks me up - oh, and I love when the bride does a 'special dance' for her new husband... aaaawkward! Super-creeepy... save it for later, honey!  Yick!  Right up there with the garter search - eeeewwww... what happened to a lovely wedding, all nice people? Those days are gone, forever, you say? haha!

The cash bar/ open bar debate is always great - tricky to decide what to do. Sometimes (okay, about 100% of the time! lol!) an open bar will lead to a lot of drunken people at your wedding, maybe even including the bride and groom, and what happens when you get a lot of drunken people at an already fully emotionally loaded event? They fight!  But you hardly ever get to see any really good fighting at the weddings - and you know it's there... occasionally, you'll get lucky and get to see a bride all mad at her mother for not making the caterers come out faster... 'You're ruining my whole day' speeches - oooh, I love those! lol! That's when a little of the Bridezilla comes out...

I am shocked at how much money is spent on weddings, though.  Man, that's too much money for one day - so many of the brides-to-be are spending between $30,000 - $100,000.  Nooo, don't do it. Iz crazy!  Use your money for a down payment on your new home. Not just for me, but for your own sanity... even if it's the parents' money, geez, that's a whole lot of money that could be better spent, elsewhere, right? No??  Uh-oh, I think I might be a little bit of a cynic, here... and it's kind of old-fashioned to have everyone your parents have ever known to a wedding of their children. I don't know - is that old-world, or is that still happening? Maybe that puts too much pressure on the bride and groom.... who knows?  To each his own, right?  But, man, am I ever glad they're filming these fantastic weddings in Canada - the US verion of Four Weddings is good, too, but I've only seen the episodes where all the brides are perfect, and, for some reason, that's not nearly as entertaining for me as the 'I'm great the way I am' brides - seems very open and supportive of all sorts of peoples, right?? lol!

I watch Four Weddings Canada on Slice - you might be able to find it on slice, too : )

Hugs, and Happy Weddings!!!  Or Happy Wedding WATCHING.... Ailsa xox!

How gorgeous are these Wedding Cakes? I had a gooorgeous Wedding Cake on my First Marriage, and no wedding cake for my second, and, frankly, I never really forgave my second husband for not letting me get a wedding cake - key words ''not letting me get' - seriously, I should've just said, this is what we're getting, and maybe that marriage would've been much better, where one person doesn't assume they always have the upper hand - that hardly ever works out, so, best to start on a really good, equal relationship, right? You'll both be happy! : )

Boston Pizza Sucks

So we just went out for what should have been a lovely dinner out - we went to what used to be our favourite Boston Pizza, in Victoria, BC -- we used to loove their Boston Lasagna, but I say used to, because we will NEVER go back to that Boston Pizza, and it's hard to say if we'll bother going back to ANY Boston Pizza.

I just left a scathing survey, which they spell 'servey', on their bill - idiots. Boston Pizza is going to need a dictionary, and MUCH better managerial staff. The female manager was soo annoying, first she must have sent our server, who was nice enough, but not well-informed, but this idiot biitch of a young female manager must have sent her lackey out to give us the first row - a 'row' is Scottish for getting in trouble... no one wants or needs to get a row at the dinner table - what, is this Thanksgiving??  Think you can have a confrontation with someone in the middle of dinner? No. You can't. If you've made an error, accept it and move on. Don't lose customers over a $4.95 item - dough, with some salt and olive oil - ooooh, I hope that was worth it to these mindless biiitches (really, mostly the manager, I kind of felt sorry for the watress, doing the bidding of this idiotic old biddy.... ).

Now why is it that so many women get a little bit of power, it goes straight to their heads? Don't do this, ladies. We have to appear better than that, we can't go to the lowest common denominator, act out on these power trip ways. No. You're makin' us look bad. Like women don't belong in a position of power, because they will immediately abuse that power. What on earth??!! Makes me so mad. I am a feminist, a humanist, equal rights for every body, every single body, but when I see this kind of ugly behaviour, it makes me sick - physically ill. We were so upset, we couldn't even finish our meal - the row came right in the middle of the dinner. Now who does that? A control freak, that's who. How can I ruin your dinner you're going to pay for? Hmmm... I know, I'll come and hover over your meal for waaaay too long, annoy the hell out of you, then charge you for the pleasure of dining out at Boston Pizza.

Never Again. Good-Bye, stooopid Boston Pizza. I'll make my own lasagna. You bastards.

Signs You Should Skip a Meeting...lol!

So I was all set to go to this fancy meeting, tomorrow night, today I get an email reminder of said meeting, and it says, remember to wear all white!  What the helll??  Wear all white?? Why, is it a cult, and we're all ascending to heaven, tomorrow?  Is it P. Diddy's White Party?? Yeah, I don't think so... how crazy is that? Then it took me ages to figure out how to remove my Yes to the RSVP - took me soo long to finally find a No button - so crazy!

And I was really looking forward to the meeting, right up until the semi-cult invitation - this is a group I've just recently heard about, supposed to be for entrepreneurs, I thought, oh, maybe I'd hear something interesting, maybe I'll meet like-minded people, make some good business contacts, but what was with this whole 'wear white' thing??  What on earth??  What kind of crazy is that??  Were we gonna have a surprise group wedding??  Surprise!!  You're wedded in a cult... creepy... and it was pretty funny I was in such a panic to get out of it... the first thing I read about it was all about talking about business with a beer on the side - that sounded good - beer AND business, now that's a good business meeting... but Wear White?? That's horrifying... and super-weird... will add that to the list of 'Things I will skip'! lol!

Too bad, I really did want to find some new people to chat about business, with, see what kind of opportunities are out there, what other people are finding successful - but, now that I think of it, maybe the people at the super-weird 'wear white to the meeting' aren't exactly fully successful, just yet?? hahaha!  Perhaps not?? hahaha!  Okay, that makes me laugh... whatevs, I'm gonna have to go back to the whole 'What's for you'll no go by you'... I've made that more 'people friendly', it's really, "Wha's for ye'll no go by ye"... little more old fashioned, and Scottish, but it sure gets me through some tricky times.... I'm sure I'll find a good business that actually brings in a solid income without a huge overhead... the dream of every business owner! lol!

If you're thinking about starting your own business, let me know all about it! I love to hear a great story! Good Luck! Ailsa : )
