Why I Love The Caballeros’ Cajones…

With wedding season lingering in the distance, I would like to dedicate my Tuesday Tirade to the Caballeros, an incredibly intelligent husband and wife team who did the following, according to Reuters:

“Fed up with spending too many weekends going to weddings, an Argentine couple took out a paid announcement on the social pages of a major newspaper expressing their desire for some social neglect. ‘We thank you ahead of time for understanding this petition, which is due to our saturated social calendar,’ read the ad in La Nacion.”

Wow. The Caballeros have some serious cajones, don’t they? As a newly engaged bridezilla-to-be, I certainly understand how life can be all about weddings. But having a bethrothal every single weekend is enough for anyone to feel the need to become a Wedding Ditcher.

Even better is Adolfo Caballeros’ explanation of why he’s opting out of being a frequent wedding day participant: “It’s fun for youngsters who want to dance until 5 a.m. … but the next day I’m tired and I can’t move when I want to go play tennis.” C’mon Adolfo. Isn’t that just a really nice way of saying, “Sometimes post wedding hangovers are truly sucktastic???” ‘Tis true…celebrating love can be truly exhausting…but doesn’t this just look a f’ing good time??

Which leads me to believe my idea of serving guacomole jello shots at my wedding is still a good one….note to self: don’t rule that out just yet.
