I don't know when "wedding season" actually starts, but this was the beginning of mine. Does using gaming terminology for the wedding scene allow me to ready, aim, and fire at couples rhythmically jaunting down the aisle; with a bee bee gun of course, we're not shooting to kill, just to stir things up. You know, trouble in paradise; playing The Most Dangerous Game in paradise.
Anyway, I went with my mother to a wedding in York, PA. I was her guest, she was not mine... I am not asking my mother to accompany to a wedding, no matter how bad I may be at scoring a date. My mom's friend's son, who is right about my age, got married to some girl. Riveting, huh? I had only met the guy once before, and never met the chick before. She was a cute girl, but from the little nuances I picked up, not someone I would go after.
So I don't know if this really counts counts as the first wedding of my season, since it wasn't a friend, but I'm sure you won't fault me for including it. I act as though I will be attending 10 weddings over the course of this year... well probably not that many... but dare I order the weddings of my friends as I expect them to occur? I dare.
Jesse's wedding is set, so he's first. Then, since Kelly just got engaged, and since everyone knows it's the perfect match, I put her as number 2. Kristin keeps talking about getting married, so, even though she can be deceiving, I'll put her at number 3. Seth, although very good at not coming into Pittsburgh to hang out, I suppose must be getting close to engagement with his girlfriend of several years; he is number 4. And even though she's family, she's still a friend, I put Lacey at 5, since she seems really set on getting married and having babies soon... but we'll still give her a few years. As far as timing... I could see potentially up to the first three happening by the end of 2009, but once again, that's potentially.
The rest is too far outside my radar to know... but I wouldn't put it past Anth-a-ma-nanth to pull something out of his hat, and everyone wondering where that came from. If you're wondering where I rate... I will be the next to last one to get married. I peg myself for tying the knot at 38 or maybe 42, just in front of Jason Kozak, at 44.
Seriously though, the wedding ceremony scares me. The marriage part I think I could handle ok, but I don't want to have this special moment in front of everyone I know. I'd much rather have it in front of a lady in a moo-moo with a mustache and a college drop-out, Elvis impersonator. It's just more... meaningful that way. I know, I'm missing the point of the wedding, I just don't like being in front of people like that, unless it's on my terms, not theirs or society's. But after we run away to get married, we will have a cookout, so I can inexpensively gather all my friends and family to play volleyball, eat veggie-burgers, and give me and my super-model wife expensive presents and well-wishes.
But just to throw this out there, I think a marriage will take place on Tuesday. Yes, the joining in holy MACramony, of me and my new Macbook Pro. I can't wait to get a new laptop. I feel greedy and sinful desiring a possession so much, but oh well. To consummate the marriage will we have to have cyber-s... nevermind.
If you are enough in my friend circle(s) to add potentials to the list, please do. Or if you want to speculate a different order, please do that as well. And if you're a mac fan and want to speculate or discuss the new features, you are welcome to also. Just leave some comments, I never get any!

I'm so happy that you marked me as number 3 but I think Jess might pull a fast one on us before Kozak.
In fact, it might even be Jess and Jason. Jeana is definitely in the race as well.
Jess and Jason are surely meant for each other.
I was about to include Jeana, but she's so hard to put your finger on. I just don't know... but I wouldn't be surprised if she's number 6 or even number 4.
How's the pregnancy situation?
