Why I Hate Weddings

garter

I did some work for an old friend recently…

He is a cool wedding photographer based out of Cincinatti. The best part about his work is that you can tell everyone in every photo is having a blast.

Perusing his recent work got me thinking about weddings…

I don’t really enjoy attending weddings as a whole… but the absolute worst, most obnoxious tradition of all (besides the bachelor party of course) has got to be the garter-removal.

Who is the moron that made up this tradition and why does everyone insist on including this as part of their celebration…

Ugh.

Does divorce even mean anything anymore?
