Bride Wars

I am tired. I had little sleep last night, and I've been packing up my apartment all day, so I decided to watch a movie on my *new* computer (it actually has sound, it's rather exciting).

The only movie at my house that I hadn't seen was lo and behold, Bride Wars. I thought it would be humourous, seeing as this seems to be the phase of life that I'm smack dab in the middle of.

Well I wasn't really impressed. Yet again, Hollywood comes out with another explanation for our high divorce rate: when the whole 'thing' is 100% focused on the wedding, and forgets about the marriage.I'm not even sure if I remember the names of the fiances, I don't think it said anything about them and there was almost nothing on the relationships of the couples.But I mean, the dresses were beautiful, the hair; perfect, flowers; lovely, decorations; enticing, location; romantic, rings; sparkling.

I wonder how the couples work through conflict.

I wonder how they adjusted to living together.

I wonder where they make up for each others' short comings, where one's weaknesses are balanced out by the other's strengths.

I wonder how they get along with each others' in-laws.

I wonder where they saw their lives 5, 10, 25 years down the road.

I wonder how they coped with each others' quirks.

I wonder if they were comfortable farting around each other. Or throwing up.

I wonder if one was a vegetarian, and how that affected their shopping list.

I wonder which states their siblings lived in.

But I mean, I KNOW that the dresses were beautiful, the hair; perfect, flowers; lovely, decorations; enticing, location; romantic, rings; sparkling.And once the best friends were reunited, the wedding was complete.
And that's all that matters, right?
