Since TV sucks today, I plugged in "The Graduate", because I seriously love the sound track (and I do think Dustin Hoffman looked hot at 30, if also very small). Well, do you remember the last scene of the movie, where Ben and Elaine run away from her wedding. In Germany, we have a weird wedding custom, the bridal kidnapping, where the girls kidnap the bride from the reception and go on a bar hopping spree. The husband and his groom's men try to track them down, picking up the tabs the girls have left for them in the bars.

The other day, we were hanging out with friends talking, when the topic came to the wedding we're going to attend this summer and said custom. Suddenly, Richard suggested: you girls should do that!
Well, I'm a little slow, so I mused that I don't know my way around the town where my friend is going to get married, when suddenly, it dawned on me.. Who needs a REAL bride and a groom's party to follow? Well, you can only do that once in any given town, but it would be a somewhat fun thing to do.. And the best thing, I know girls who would totally be in on that :-)
PS: no, I am not seriously planning on just "drink and dash", that would be a crime; but a girl can have a littly crazy thoughts sometime :-)
I love that movie, it's so good! :)
ReplyDeleteI love it, too! One of the few movies I actually own on DVD :-)
DeleteHere from the Showoff Weekend Hop and I must admit I've never seen this movie fully. I know- Gasp! If I tell you I'm now following you will I be forgiven? ; ) BB2U
ReplyDeleteThe movie is really worth watching! I came across it by accident one night when there was only crap on TV, and stopped even though usually I don't like older movies very much. I got the DVD on a moving sale a few months later, and it's just perfect for a quiet night with a glass of wine. You shall be forgiven :-)
DeleteStephanie....what a fun idea. Believe it or not, I didn't see this movie until recently in my adult life..... :)
ReplyDeleteI usually don't like older movie, but this one is just awesome. Maybe I'm also just fed up with the pre-digested stuff we're being fed by the movie industry nowadays. I love the scenes where the faces say all that needs to be said, and they did not see the necessity to include a pointless dialog :-)
DeleteThat sounds like so much fun. Sadly the town I live in has a total of two or three pubs, so it would be too easy to find the group of girls here.
ReplyDeleteIt can be, yes. I think your problem wouldn't be that there are only a couple of pubs but rather that everyone will know who you are, so you can't "drink and ditch" :-)
DeleteHi Stephanie!
ReplyDeleteThanks for an awesome post @ The Show Off Blog Party :). I've seen the movie in sections. I just need to sit and watch the whole thing through!! However, the eat and dash thing? hmmm... If you are ever in Las Vegas or San Antonio, maybe we can do this together??? LOL!!

Actually, I will be in San Antonio about every year, because Richard's family lives there now.. I'd love to go bar-hopping with you some time, but I guess we should pay, don't want to end the day in jail :-)
