I feel the same way.  I like cremation, but the green thing nags at me.  Last I heard, BDH wanted to be a reef ball.  I told him I was putting him out at the curb and using his insurance money for boy toys.  He was okay with that, too.

I thought you could just use charcoal starter.  You know....like you're lighting up a giant Weber grill.

I've been an usher once, at my brother's wedding. (Actually at both of his weddings, but I'm only counting that as once.) Didn't have to dance at either, which was fortunate for me and for my potential partners.

I don't get a lot of the wedding traditions. Like the whole "remove the bride's garter" thing. That's just creepy - why are we messing around under this woman's skirt in public? I went to one where the guests were trying to get the groom to take off her garter with his teeth. (Really? In public? In front of her parents? NO, no. No. Save it for the honeymoon.)

Plus do I want to catch this married woman's underwear? I do not. At least the women get to catch a nice bouquet. And the whole "pay to dance with the bride/groom" thing is just beyond strange. 

 

Agreed. I'm having NONE of that at my wedding. I'm breaking with all cookie-cutter traditions (except the couple's first dance as married people)  and making some of my own. Some that involve musical jams and singing. Yup. {#Yes}

I get what you're saying. But think of it this way: most of the customs involved with the dead are for the living. The grave gives them a place to come and remember you, to mourn and think about what a swell guy you were and what a good life you lived. You could probably argue that it's inconsiderate and even arrogant to deprive your loved ones of a special place to grieve.

Mike Royko once wrote that when he died, he wanted his body to be placed in a Hefty bag and dropped off at the end of the bar at the (then one and only) Billy Goat Tavern.  IIRC he wrote cryptically that "they'd take care of the rest".

I always liked that idea.

That makes sense. I always just kind of smile and nod at them - dudes, it's not your wedding, really it's all about the happy couple. (It feels like congratulating the hot dog vendors when the team wins a game.)

In the unlikely event that I get married, I'll want the reception line to be for the bride and I.
