I found this quite funny.
At almost every wedding (where a dance floor is part of the festivities) people hear from wine like this.
(and not just at weddings!)

Funny Friday: Best Man #FAIL (Wedding Disaster)
You wait for your special day for what seems like an eternity.
You what everything to be just perfect…
or you realize that perfection is impossible.
This brief video is basically horrifying as far as “perfect weddings” go…but the only choice for the bride is to have a sense of humor about it.
Why?
There aren’t any options left.
Sure she could be heartbroken, angry, bitter, or embarrassed (or all of the above) but what happened was out of her control and adding drama won’t make anyone feel any better.
Better to admit the humanity of it all, have a good laugh, and make the best of it!
Then, try to have a great party.
(What she did afterward didn’t make it to the footage, but I’d love to know what happened next. Maybe the groom should have jumped in and they could all continue together.
Also, was the aisle buttered of something? CRaZy!

The #1 Vomit-Inducing “Selfie”
A “selfie” is a photo taken of one’s self, by one’s self. It’s the shortened word for “self-portrait”.
Websters Dictionaries made this word the Word of the Year in 2013.
Capturing the occasional “selfie” is no big deal…but the #1 thing I hate about smart phones is epitomized in this screen shot of the short film entitled “I Forgot My Phone”:
It’s < The kissing or wedding proposal “Selfie” > (ECK! skin crawling.)
This reaction could also be because I’m not in my twenties.
And I wonder…does this make me rustic and uncultured?
See the whole short film here featuring Charlene deGuzman. It’s a great 2 minute piece of critique that is so accurate that it hardly fits into the category of satirical exaggeration, and maybe that was the point.
(Really the only unrealistic part is the guy actually making a phone call. I’m not sure that happens too much at all…unless someone is driving, of course. 4-6 p.m. and 8-10 a.m. I think I see a few people making phone calls behind the wheel. Texting has overshadowed realtime voice-to-voice interaction, like email did in the 1990s.)
The piece also emphasizes, by omission, the potential benefits of “forgetting” your mobile phone in order to experience life more fully. See what you think of it.
To be clear, I’m guilty of overusing my phone. Time to update my Rule of Life that includes boundaries here.

So what do you think about the topic?
And Are you pro “selfie”, anti, or somewhere in between. I’m curious. Let me know!
13 Inappropriate Things to Say to the People in Your Life (humor post)
You might think you’re funny, but here are a few tips on what not to say in jest.
1. To the mail carrier: “Have you had a rabies shot recently? I can’t find my dog.”
2. To the traffic cop: “Gosh, you’re not drunk again, are you?”
3. To the mechanic: “That blue wire there is either the detonator for a car bomb, or part of my son’s science project. The worst part? An employee just walked off the job all disgruntled and my son is making some sort of dirty bomb for a science project.”
4. To the ice cream truck man: “Be careful little hands what you do!”
5. To the neighbor: “I probably should have said this earlier but I saw a family of rats burrowing under your house last week. No worries! Our python loves rats and got into your house with no problem.”
6. To your spouse: “I changed my status to “single” on Facebook two weeks ago, that’s why I was gone this weekend. I thought you were cool with it.”
7. To the Jehovah’s Witness: “I don’t want to talk with you unless can sit down together, in my tub, of course. You like lavender-scented bubble bath?”
8. To the Little League Coach: “I have a concealed weapons permit. You just never know when someone’s gonna bench your kid.”
9. To your tax preparer: “I did all my bookkeeping on post it notes. There’s like ream here, you don’t mind right?”
10. To the barista, “All I have is pennies.”
11. To the library: “Here’s my book. Yes, it’s damp…You’re going to think this is hilarious!”
12. To the garbage man: “What’s worse than your little guys having the runs and super cheap trash bags? Yeah, I don’t know either. I hope you have a light touch.”
13.To your pastor: “I was in your office last month when you were on vacation. I installed “Covenant Eyes” …so, we know all the naughty sites you’ve been visiting.”

Do you have the Royal Prayer?

Prince William and Catherine Middleton had this prayer at their nuptials.
“God our Father, we thank you for our families; for the love that we share and for the joy of our marriage. In the busyness of each day keep our eyes fixed on what is real and important in life and help us to be generous with our time and love and energy. Strengthened by our union help us to serve and comfort those who suffer. We ask this in the Spirit of Jesus Christ”.
This could very well be our prayer. We were born to serve each other, were we not?
