Today, I came across two totally unrelated videos. On a blog I read regularly, there was a link to "I would do anything for love (but I won't do that)" by Meat Loaf. Go figure that I remember the song, but I didn't know, or couldn't recall, who sang it. I don't believe that I even saw the video before today, comsidering that I probably would have remembered the beauty and the beast theme if I had. Anyways, the other one was a wedding ceremony in which the bride does the unthinkable. I could not fathom doing that, even as a guest. I find it funny that I came across the two videos on the same day, and that although initially they seemed to be unrelated, their messages are essentially the same.
Are they doomed? Would you do that?

That is just so wrong in so many ways. Had my wife done that (if they were around then) I don't know what I would have done, but it wouldn't have been to stand there and just make a face...
I know! I was trying to think of ways to justify her doing that but I just couldn't! And it doesn't even appear that the dude says anything... not even a whisper. Or, say if he had a sense of humour about it and said something aloud, but I suppose he could just be in shock.
Everyone she cares about would be there with her. If they aren't with her on that most joyous occasion (heh), then they would surely know that she was at her own wedding. And... why would she have the damn thing with her in the first place, and in her cleavage yet.
I can think of reasons:
1. marriage by proxy.
2. obsession.
3. clueless. Prolly will happily go and make a sammie and bring it and a cold beer to hubz while he watches... is she still single????
1. Then she shouldn't have had to buy the dress.
2. With texting? Entirely possible.
3. Clueless about the foundations of love and marriage of course, but in it for the spousal benefits?
Ah... I see you set your sights high.
Question... What did the received text say? What was her reply?
Almost done yet?
Not quite.
What did the text received by the bride say?
"OMFG! U GO GRL! Imma sale at the Gap!"
The bride's response:
"OMG! a sale at the gap! I need a size 2"
I was serious asking that question... sort of. She did it one handed and it didn't take very long.
Let's see if we can shave your question with Occam's Razor. Two theories:
1. There was someone important to her, who could not be there in person to witness the event. Hubz-to-be knew this. The person filming the event did not know this, and was offended - which is why an intensely personal event is an internet subject of discussion.
2. Bride is obsessive with communication: she keeps her phone with her as a source of security, but forgot to turn the ringer/vibrate mode to off.
Rude? Yes, in a conventional, pre-1993 way. But, given we don't know the particulars, this is a funny statement on the traditions of Gen Xers and their parents versus Gen Yers and younger.
At least she didn't interrupt the post-vow kiss to answer her phone.
We hope.
Tangentially related - proudest moment at my wedding: when the minister said "you may stop kissing the bride" (admittedly, it WAS kind of long)
D:
I would probably enjoy reading the treatise behind Occam's Razor, which, judging from the very little of which I know about it, would seem to agree with my heuristic approach to analysis.
1. The groom's face does not indicate aforeknowledge of the absent dear one, nor of the impending call.
2. Yes.
3. On the day, at the particular moment, the person standing next to you is the most important person in the world to you... or should be. Forsaking all others, including, but not limited to, a vibrating piece of technology.
