Me: Uh, that's bunting.
D: What's bunting?
Me: You know, like the stuff that used car salesmen put out, but cuter.
Apparently, someone around here isn't totally aware of all the wedding blog trends. Luckily, this was a purely academic discussion because if I had had my heart set on bunting, I would have had some serious convincing to do. Don't worry - we're having metallic streamers instead.
P.S. Still on jury duty.
HA...that's hilarious.
ReplyDeletehahahaha
ReplyDeletebrilliant! I recently attempted to explain the blog trends for parties and weddings to my bemused boyfriend, needless to say he found the whole concept completely crazy...
ReplyDeleteOh boys, you so funny.
ReplyDeleteWhen I tried to explain bunting to my fiancé, he said, "Won't our wedding look like the dog races, then?" What?!? So I went ahead and made it, and now he loves it. :)
ReplyDeleteOh gosh! haha!
ReplyDeleteVery funny but at the same I thought that was a very good explanations from you actually (I also needed to be explained about bunting)!
ReplyDeleteHA! That's awesome.
ReplyDelete1. F*** some jury duty. Sorry. I HAD to say it. I feel better now.
ReplyDelete2. I love the bunting conversation! HA! My husband, Jim, and I got married on the front lawn of his stepfather's home. At our rehearsal, I asked him if it was OK for me to hang bunting in our "wedding tree." (Blank stare.) I showed him the bunting, and he said: "Sure. I don't care. Hang that hippie sh*t." Everybody got a kick out of that! (photo of the "hippie sh*t" here)
Yikes, that's a long time for jury duty!
ReplyDeleteand this conversation is priceless. I'm sure my husband and I had a few like it during our planning process. I am also sure that he has no clue what bunting is.
hah, love this conversation so much! Nicole your ceremony tree looks absolutely beautiful and Rachel I love Jordan's fringey streamers, can't wait to see the final results!
ReplyDeleteLMAO well that settles that! Can't wait to see it all come together (and I bet you can't, either). :)
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA nice!
ReplyDeletehahahahah - great

ReplyDeletesoo. somewhere in santa barbara, a similar couple had a similar conversation (my fiance and i) lol.
me:omg look how cute this is
j: what is that edible ribbon
me: no!
j: is that our tiramisu cake
me: no!
me: they are stacked wheels of cheese made to look like a tiered wedding cake, with ribbons wrapped around each "layer" and little heart crackers.
j: i don't get it.
apparently my fiance can't tell the difference between our wedding cake (a dessert pastry) and a wheel of blue cheese and crackers. gotta love it!
oh good i nipped this in the bud early - made my sweetheart a bunting with his name for his birthday a year ago so we had that conversation then - he'll be prepped for the wedding :)
ReplyDeletesorry about jury duty.
