overheard

eavesdropping for the technologically savvy

I thought I would share my bridal portrait with you all. I promise to love, honor, and sharpen frequently.

This photo is from the nice folks at Henckel's knives.

    So can we expect that you will be carrying a bouquet of Henckel's knives in lieu of the normal floral arrangment? That just might come in handy, you know.

    You're right, that certainly would be elegant - and useful! I can get you a smaller bouquet of paring knives, since you are a bridesmaid. :) We will be the most feared wedding party EVER! Can we also rent a cannon? Darn, I should've looked into that before now...

    "Hello, I'd like to rent a cannon . . . for my wedding."

    How completely kick-ass would that phone call be? Ohmygod, WHERE do you rent a cannon? I feel a Crank Yankers moment coming on.

    You guys totally have me rolling. LOL!!

    Maybe you could get your fiance's parents to pay for the cannon, J. ;)

    Oh, yes, this is perfect... this is where my Mormon family will think the cannon is a weird Jewish tradition, and his Jewish family will think the cannon is a weird Mormon tradition, and we can watch them eyball each other throughout the whole night! "Oh, that was lovely. Your family certainly does have some... interesting traditions. Shooting live, angry badgers out of a cannon really made the evening.. um... special."

    Darn. According to Google, you can rent a Cannon brand camera, a Cannon brand copy machine, a Cannon brand safe, but not an actual cannon.

    I am *NOT* catching the bouquet!

    I know where you can get this one:

    It's small and tasteful, though I'm afraid it would be tricky to move.

    Black Susan: that's what the bridesmaids and groomsmen are for! You didn't think you were getting the honor of wearing a hideous frilly pink dress for free (and the cost of the dress), did you? ;)

    I have a bad shoulder.

    I'm not moving anything.

    Hmph.

    (Just kidding, J, you know I'd love to line up a ton of those things so that when people open the door to the reception there are 99 cannons staring them in the face.)

    That would be awesome! Can we tie big perriwinkle tulle bows around the barrels of the canons to make them more festive? Can we play "Canon in D-Major" as the guests walk in?

    hahahahaha... What a great discussion. Knives and cannons. I love the tulle idea around the cannons. Maybe you could put some on the handles of the knives too.

    What, cannons aren't festive enough for you? Oh, all right. We can ask the florist to come up with a delicate little whimsey to make the cannons look a little more nuptual... can we perhaps order pink cannonballs? Do cannons come in different pitches so we can play a song on them?

    And I agree... all weaponry should match. Knives and cannons can all be festooned together! It will be a wedding no one will forget! (Especially those that stand too close to the bouquet.)
