i should probably switch to twitter, but i'm really not concerned about creating a different nonexistent audience from the one i already have, so i'll just save that for when i need extra EXTRA strength procrastination (that lasts extra long... that's the right commercial, right?)

anyway. ponderation of the moment: is all the superstition about grooms not seeing brides before the wedding and covering the bride with a veil until the very last moment really about modesty, or did it really start as a way to prevent the poor guy from running until he was already stuck with the merchandise?
i realize this isn't flattering to women everywhere and probably sets the cause of feminism (or whatever the most current incarnation is) back ten years... but i still want to know.
also, some related wikipedia to rot your brain: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedding_traditions

as a bride who saw her groom before hand i don't know, but, i think that it actually makes it more likely for the guy to stick around b/c if his wife-to-be is going to look her best any day of their lives it's going to be their wedding day!
