really bad ideas
the wedding





These terrible ideas had to have been seriously contemplated by someone in the wedding party before being rejected by the rest.

Many of the ideas are still seriously contemplated by those who suggested them, but they know better than to bring them up again...



1. Ray does his grant-winning silly walk all the way from the end of the pier to the house, just before the bride and groom arrive.

2. We'll attach a cable from the roof and Peter, Rusty and Ray will slide barefoot into the ceremony.

3. Claire, Lainey and Traci are called "bridesmaidettes."

4. After Paisley and Peter are pronounced married and they turn to greet their wedding guests, everyone engages in a sequential Pingree-Hawkins family pop.

5. Ruthann, Paisley and Haley will reprise their imitation of Janet Jackson singing "What Have You Done For Me Lately" at the reception.

6. The University of Wisconsin marching band will play the Chicken Dance at the reception.
