10 Uses for Duct Tape at a Wedding

In honor of the weddings of my brother and best friend from college in December (2 seperate weddings... I did not go to school with my brother's fiancee, though that would have been fun!), I will contribute my top 10 uses for duct tape at a wedding - and then shut up about it, so they have the next 8 months to recover from the mental shock. :-D

10. Silver is a good accent color for a wedding. Use duct tape to make pew bows.

9. Tape the isle runner to the floor. Better yet, use overlapping strips to make the isle runner from scratch.

8. Gentlemen, having trouble finding a bow tie that fits comfortably? Make your own out of duct tape. Add a macthing cummerbund for effect.

7. Wrap flower boquet stems in duct tape. Rose thorns and leaves are no longer an issue.

6. Save money on the whole tux rental thing. Make your entire outfit out of black and white duct tape.

5. Make a garter out of duct tape. The guy who catches it will truely appreciate it!

4. Dress too loose at the last minute? Apply white duct tape as needed.

3. Afraid of flowers wilting halfway through the celebration? Make roses out of duct tape. They'll last for years to come.

2. Keep the bride and groom from seeing one another before the wedding. Tape the doors shut until the music starts playing.

1. Make sure everyone knows they were married! Write "Just Married" on the back window of the car before they leave the reception.

My love to both couples through this planning process. Don't forget that laughing often is an important ingredient in both marriage and planning a wedding!
