Congratulations

Etiquette note: one congratulates the groom, and wishes the bride good luck. To congratulate the bride implies that she was lucky to snag a man at all, and saying this could be construed as snarky. Miss Fireblossom deplores snarkiness.

Congratulations!

Oh honey, congratulations

On the success of your

Machiavellian machinations.

(I'm so glad

So awfully glad

I didn't say that out loud.)



And really,

I just know you'll both be

So happy,

So happy...

He looks dashing,

And you look smashing,

If just a little

Only a little

Trailer trashy...



And I just want you to know

That I wish you

I wish you both

Would just fall down on the polished floor and choke

Til death do you part.

Thank you for letting me be a part

Of your special day!

Do you know what I wish?

Oh, I wish you would both fall head-first down the stairs,

Down, down, down.

(And thank Goddess I didn't say that

Honey, I would never ever say that

Out loud.)

  7. Oh how many times I've wanted to say that out loud. One time I almost said to the groom "Commiserations!" instead of Congratulations. I also wanted to tell him not to take out any large insurance policies, but that seemed to cross a line, somehow....these etiquette questions are such a trial.

  10. MZ beat me to the "bless your heart" comment! Someone did fall down on the polished floor at my brother in law's wedding. Unfortunately, it was a waiter. He hit his head and went into shock. My husband and another woman were tending to him and missed their "big entrance" into the reception. My mother in law accused my husband of stealing the spotlight from his little brother even on his wedding day!

  13. You haven't, by chance, happened to have read Chuck Palahniuk's "Tell-All"? I wouldn't have been surprised to find this poem in that novel....

  14. I am going to a wedding this summer that I am NOT looking forward to. Do you think they would consider it a nice gift if I included your poem in the card?

    I do...
