Babies and weddings or what to expect when you put them on the guestlist


blog.timesunion.com

So this blog entry is going to be about babies. Again. Sorry, but this is what happens when you start getting old.
            Even if you don’t have an actual human baby to cart around, babies somehow find start playing a bigger role in your life. People you know have them. Those same people expect you to interact with the baby. They want you to hold it, fawn over it, call it cute and such.
            I was at a family member’s wedding the other day. It was a pleasant affair. There was boozing, dancing, cheesy wedding music. Good times.
On the list of cons was the unfortunate church ceremony, but whatevs. To each their own on the subject of religion.
Another con? One of the bridesmaids had a baby. So naturally, this meant the baby had to be very, very involved in the process of helping my cousin and her boyfriend join their lives together as one in the eyes of the church.
Because obviously, duh. Wherever babies go, their parents just assume people want the little monsters involved and heavily.
So really my problem isn’t with the baby itself, more so the parents. What a not-so-shocking twist.
