Extra Credit - Week 9 - Junkyard Quote

"The chief duty of the bridegroom's family is to pretend to be crazy about the bride. Some find this as difficult as the task to sustain as all the planning, financing, and execution of the bride's family's duties put together. Nevertheless, it must be borne constantly in mind, as the bridegroom's parents are run through a routine not of their own making. They have few tasks, but constantly repeating how lovely everything is--the bride's grandmother, the wedding silver, the bridesmaid's dresses, the striped tent on the lawn, the wedding breakfast, the promises about then thank you latters will be written--is essential."

^I keep imagining an angry draft of an annoyed member of the groom's family trying to compliment the bridge or characterize her through all of these weird things listed above.^
