This incident makes me wonder what people really think of as appropriate in their heads...
GM: Which one of you is getting married? You? (Nodding at me once he noticed the sash and crown.)
Me: Yep, me!
GM: How old are you?
Me: 23.
GM: You'll be divorced by the time you're 27.
Everyone: Whoooaa!
Then we took the shots.
Me - What I wish I would have said, but wasn't thinking on my feet: Well that's why you're divorced, isn't it?
I mean, yah, I get it, ha-ha, I'm young and you could maybe get away with a cute joke about that by saying it in the right way. But C'MON! Straight-faced and everything. Tasteless.
Luckily the food made up for it! Edamame, miso soup, and lamb = delish!
I bought everyone big, fake engagements rings from the $1 section at Target! Unfortunately, all the clear ones broke and we were left with too many reds lol. Mine is the huge, clear one on the right which I got at a bridal show.
Up next...the partying! Stay tuned ;)

Looks like so much fun!!! However the GM's comment would have made me mad too - why do people feel the need to tell us 23 year olds we are destined for divorce b/c we are getting married at a young age?! Apparently it doesn't matter how long I've been with my fiance or how well we actually know each other, its the mere fact like I am not 30! HMPH!
I like the bling!
Yeah, that GM was totally an idiot for saying that. Um, so what if the divorce rate is higher the younger you get married? There are also a thousand other "statistics" - how long you've known him (like Future Mrs. H points out), maturity, personality, etc.
Plus, you are not be a statistic! You are you!
Informative content, In bachelor party you can drink all night but between the beer and the strippers, wouldn't it be fun to have a few bachelor party games such as Despedida de soltero.
