The bride is horrified to see one of her bridesmaids isn’t wearing the shoes she spent so much effort selecting, thus, completely destroying the entire elaborate orchestration and congruity of the bridesmaids’ wardrobes. She swallows her rage for now, but they may very well never speak again. The groom nervously eyes his best man, who appears to be abusing the flask of bourbon concealed in the breast pocket of his ever-increasingly wrinkled tuxedo. Silently, he prays that no deal-breaking tales of morally-impaired twins in Las Vegas are disclosed during some inebriated toast. The single men and women in the crowd feel a sudden and nervous pang of desperation to find themselves tangled in the arms of whomever will have them, and the adorable little flower girl carelessly scatters rose petals while choking back tears of apprehension from feeling lost and like the center of attention, simultaneously—it’s the bizarre dance of the wedding party. Perhaps nothing can better represent the precarious balance of beautiful memories and inevitable social faux pas. For generations, the wedding ceremony has been a staple of American tradition, but as times change, so do the methods of how our culture approaches the way we say, “I do.”
