i was at mike and becky's wedding this weekend and learned something incredibly fascinating. a wedding tradition that i always thought was american, turned out to be...not. let me recreate this mind-blowing conversation for you. i am THAT generous.

polly (derek's wifey): "you know at weddings when you cling the glasses and the couple has to kiss?"
laura and me: "yeah, totally."
polly: "is that an asian or an american thing?"
the asians (derek, laura, and me): "american!"
polly: "i don't think so. ask the others at the table."

me to dylan (sitting next to me): "you know when you cling the glasses at weddings and the couple has to kiss? that's an american thing, right?"
dylan: "um, what? never heard that before."
me (smacking him on the arm): "don't lie!"
derek: "maybe he's too young. ask jaime."

me to rest of table who happen to be white / "american": "what does it mean when people cling glasses at weddings?"
jaime (while others nod in agreement): "someone's about to give a toast."
me: "the couple doesn't have to kiss??!?!"
others: "no. never heard that before."

polly: "see?!?!?!?"
the other dumb-founded asians: "weird."
me to dylan: "sorry i hit you."

see? aren't you glad you spent the last minute reading my rendition of this fascinating conversation? oh, here's a pix of the lovely newlyweds. (and akosa, not that you read this, but biting someone's forearm and leaving teethmarks = not any wedding tradition i've heard of either. it still hurts!)
