Stuff white people like at the wedding

This weekend, Carrie and I came to the realization that we are going to have a lot of things from this blog at the wedding, to the point where it is disconcerting. Here is a rundown.

1. Coffee - end of the wedding, we made sure that there would be coffee for people.
2. Religions that their parents don't belong to - well, the wedding won't really be the same denomination as our parents, per se...
5. Farmers Markets - literally, the Farmers Market will be the day of the wedding at the site of the wedding, but will be over by the time we get started
6. Organic Food - I am pretty sure that most of the ingredients of your food will be organic.
7. Diversity - this means in terms of food. We have a very varied menu.
8. Barack Obama - I will throw out that 80% of guests will be supporters.
11. Asian girls - but sadly, not the Asian guy that I really want to be there.
14. Having Black Friends - You will love Renae and Jason.
16. "Gifted" children - 100% of the kids who will be there are gifted!
20. Being an expert on YOUR culture - just read the post, and watch out for it when it happens.
24. Wine
25. David Sedaris - OK, he won't be at the wedding, but he will be at Borders downtown in June. Chuck Palahniuk will be there on the 20th, and we are going. This one didn't really count, I am just bragging.
32. Vegan/Vegetarianism - we will have several vegan/vegetarian friends at the wedding, but have no fear, there will be several vegetarian dishes. Plus, the rice pilaf stuffed tomatoes will have no chicken broth used, we checked. :)
33. Marijuana - Um, hi Mom - one of the guys at the wedding sells pot. See if you can guess which one! It's not me, btw.
34. Architecture - The buildings in Kerrytown really are awesome, especially the one where the reception is!
36. Breakfast places - On Sunday, we are trying to arrange a place to have a brunch/breakfast, but we haven't decided yet. We will let you all know beforehand.
40. Apple products - an iPod will be used for the music.
41. Indie Music - will be coming out of said iPod.
42. Sushi - one of the guys at the wedding sells sushi for a living. See if you can guess which one!
45. Asian Fusion Food - kinda the same as #7
48. Whole Foods and Grocery Co-ops - there is a good chance that some of the food will be from either Whole Foods or the Co-op in Kerrytown.
49. Vintage - We are guessing that one couple specifically will come wearing something vintage.
54. Kitchen Gadgets - the reception is literally in a kitchen gadget store.
56. Lawyers - one might even usher you to your seat at the ceremony.
60. Toyota Prius - some of our guests will be driving their Prius to the wedding. Plus, it is Ann Arbor - there is a strong possibility that you will park next to one.
63. Expensive sandwiches - Less than a block away from the reception.
76. Bottles of water
78. Multilingual Children
81. Graduate School - Basically the reason everyone is coming to Ann Arbor for the wedding is because of graduate school.
88. Having Gay Friends
93. Music Piracy - basically most the indie music you will hear on the iPod.

There are several maybes, like scarves and bad memories of high school, but I can't make promises that I won't be able to deliver.

What a great post! We all did SWPL on my blog (there is even a link to all of the posts about it on the right hand side of my blog).

Anyway, but to combine SWPL with a WEDDING! BRILLIANT!
