My Day Job

My day job, and really my life at times, seems to revolve around weddings.


I actively contribute to the Wedding Industrial Complex. It's literally my job, because I sell advertising to wedding vendors. I'm morally opposed to it, and even a little morally opposed to marriage in some contexts. The trade-off is that I get by-lines in the stories I write about weddings, and I get to be in charge of a section in the newspaper and a lil' yearly magazine. It's amazing experience for me. Weddings disgust me and enthrall me at the same time. Their existence turns my head around. Mostly, weddings just bother me. This morning I found some great blogs written by cool women that make me feel very un-alone in my dilemma:
