Ginnifer Goodwin, The One 'Celeb' In The Practical Club

I think that our obsession with celebrity weddings are part of what is slowly destroying our weddings and our sanity. Do I even need to qualify this? Can't I just say: Eva Longoria & Tony Parker, and TomKat? Right. Done.

I picked up my new Modern Bride (yes, I now have a subscription, thanks to a hilarious gift from our friends Kory & Beck) and flipped through it to see a page called "Celebs' Favorite Weddings." Of course most 'celebs' interviewed said their favorite wedding was their very own, as it was the most ostentatious they had ever attended. But there in the middle of the page was the adorable Ginnifer Goodwin, who said "At my favorite wedding, the guests sat on lawn chairs, and the bridesmaids wore what they wanted to wear. There was a buffet instead of a sit-down dinner, and we danced under the trees. I had the time of my life." Awwww.... now I love Ms. Goodwin even more!

Of course a few pages later, the new Mrs. Charlie Sheen explained that because she wanted her wedding to feel more like it had taken place in a backyard, she had large potted trees brought inside the expensive estate they rented for their wedding.

And then my head exploded.

I read the same thing! I thought that the wedding Ginnifer went to sounded like soooo much fun. And EWWW to anything or anyone related to Charlie Sheen.

I wonder if the guests of the Sheen wedding could take home some of the giant potted trees.

LOL!! Only people who can afford to throw their money away would think to bring potted trees INSIDE so that their wedding felt like it was OUTSIDE. Ha!

You know, it is kind of sad that many weddings nowadays seem to lack creativity. Either they are way over the top, and the bride pays somebody else to think for her, or the wedding is kind of boring, where you see the same centerpiece you've seen at other weddings 100 times before. I think - like you do - that you can have a beautiful, original, and PRACTICAL wedding without going into debt or killing yourself. (Not that it's easy.... but you can!)

I love her. Just the sight of her makes me smile.

And now I love her even more :)

I was thinking today... you need to publish this blog as a book or something.
