The only reason I can think of to get married
You know the only reason I’d ever think about getting married is so that I could register for stuff and con someone into buying me this, because I really love it. I don’t need a gravy boat or a sauce tureen or whatever they call it. But it’s so pretty that I would put it on the shelf and fill it full of lovely lovethings. I love that sauce boat so much that I would go against every commitmentphobic instinct in my body just to procure it.
Sure, sure I could buy it for myself, but that’s not the point. The point is that I’m having a bit of a moment having just shelled a heap of cash for a beautiful wedding gift. It’s pretty cool, what I got the happy coupld and it’s not that I mind spending the money, because I love the people getting married and couldn’t be happier being able to celebrate with them. It will be a lovely and glorious wedding, and I cannot wait to attend.
But, let’s face it, I ain’t ever getting married and really there is no other event that I can think of where someone would buy you a gravy boat. This might rank up there in the top-ten all time biggest tragedies of my life.

Peabo // May 07 08 at 11:05 pmRegister for an “I’m Single and Not Fucking Getting Married” party. Us single folk deserve gravy too. Or a prettything holder. Whichever.
Wendy // May 07 08 at 11:10 pmWe gotta figure something out to get presents like this, because there’s at least 9 things I want for my kitchen/apartment that I’ll never ever by myself, because they’re absolutely ridiculous.
Tam // May 08 08 at 2:55 pmI like Peabo’s idea. I have a few single friends who would really love something like that.
One of my friends tossed around the idea of having an anti-baby shower when I got my tubes tied. It never came to be (timing issues) but I think that would be totally awesome.
jags // May 08 08 at 6:02 pmThere’s a Sex and the City episode where Carrie has her new shoes stolen at a friend’s baby shower. The friend makes her take them off at the door. When the friend says she’ll pay for the shoes but only half since she disapproves of Carrie having spent hundreds on shoes, Carrie gets mad. She figures that she’s spent $1000’s on wedding and baby showers for her friends, so she announces a wedding of herself to herself, a celebration of being single. (She registers for the shoes, and her friend, gettting the point, buys them.)
