The Rules of Wedding Crashing

Rule #1: Never leave a fellow Crasher behind. Crashers take care of their own.

Rule #2: Never use your real name.

Rule #3: When crashing an Indian wedding, identify yourself as a well-known immigrant officer or a county lawyer.

Rule #4: No one goes home alone.

Rule #5: Never let a girl/guy come between you and a fellow crasher.

Rule #6: Do not sit in the corner and sulk. It draws attention in a negative way. Draw attention to yourself, but on your own terms.

Rule #7: Blend in by standing out.

Rule #8: Be the life of the party.

Rule #9: Whatever it takes to get in, get in.

Rule #10: Invitations are for pussies.

Rule #11: Sensitive is good.

Rule #12: When it stops being fun, break something.

Rule #13: Bridesmaids are desperate: console them. (Amended: Groomsmen .. well, may still be hung over from the bachelor party)

Rule #14: You're a distant relative of a dead cousin.

Rule #15: Fight the urge to tell the truth.

Rule #16: Always have an up-to-date family tree.

Rule #17: Every female wedding guest deserves a wedding night. (huh?)

Rule #18: You love animals and children.

Rule #19: Toast in the native language if you know the native language and have practiced the toast. Do not wing it.

Rule #20: The older the better, the younger the better (see Rule below)

Rule #21: Definitely make sure she's
18.

Rule #22: You have a wedding and a reception to seal the deal. Period. No overtime.

Rule #23: There's nothing wrong with having seconds. Provided there's enough women/men to go around.

Rule #24: If you get outed, leave calmly. Do not run.

Rule #25: You understand she/he heard that but that's not what you meant.

Rule #26: Of course you love her/him.

Rule #27: Don't over drink. The machinery must work in order to close.(Amended: If he's too drunk, don't bother)

Rule #28: Make sure there's an open bar.

Rule #29: Always be a team player. Everyone needs a little help now and again.

Rule #30: Know the playbook so you can call an audible.

Rule #31: If you call an audible, always make sure your fellow Crashers know.

Rule #32: Don't commit to a relative unless you're absolutely sure that they have a pulse.

Rule #33: Never go back to your place.

Rule #34: Be gone by sunrise.

Rule #35: Breakfast is for closers.

Rule #36: Your favorite movie is "The English Patient".

Rule #37: At the reception, one hard drink or two beers max. A drunk crasher is a sloppy crasher.

Rule #38: Girls in hats tend to be proper and rarely give it up. (I have no idea what the male version of this is...)

Rule #39: The way to a man's/woman's bed is through the dance floor.

Rule #40: Dance with old folks and the kids. The girls will think you're "sweet."

Rule #41: Never hit on the bride -- it's a one way ticket to the pavement

Rule #42: Try not to break anything, unless you're not having fun.

Rule #43: At the service, sit in the fifth row. It's close enough to wedding party to seem like you're an invited guest. Never sit in the back. The back row just smells like crashing.

Rule #44: Create an air of mystery that involves some painful experience when interacting with the girl you're after. But don't talk about it.

Rule #45: Always remember your fake name! Rehearse it in advance and make sure you know your fellow Crasher's code-name as well!

Rule #46: The Rules of Wedding Crashing are sacred. Don't sully them by "improvising."

Rule #47: You forgot your invitation in your rush to get to the church.

Rule #48: Make sure all the single women at the wedding know you're there because you've just suffered either a terrible breakup or the death of your fiancée.

Rule #49: Always work into the conversation: "Yeah, I have tons of money. But how does one buy happiness?"

Rule #50: Be pensive! It draws out the "healer" in women.

Rule #51: Always pull out in time.

Rule #52: Tell any woman you're interested in that you'd love to stay put but you promised to help out at the homeless shelter today.

Rule #53: It's time to put your Drama Lessons in practice! Get choked up during the service. The girls will think you're "sensitive". Bring a slice of onion or artificial tears if necessary.

Rule #54: Avoid virgins. They're too clingy.

Rule #55: If pressed, tell people you're related to Uncle John. Everyone has an Uncle John.

Rule #56: Don't fixate on one woman. ALWAYS have a back-up.

Rule #57: When seeing a rival Crasher, do not interact: merely acknowledge each other with a tug on the earlobe and gracefully move on.

Rule #58: The Ferrari's in the shop.

Rule #59: If two rival crashers pick the same girl, the crasher with the least seniority will respectfully yield.

Rule #60: No "chicken dancing": no exceptions.

Rule #61: When crashing out of state, request permission from the local Wedding Crasher chapter.

Rule #62: No more than two weddings a weekend. More and your game gets sloppy. You'll also attract unwanted notice.

Rule #63: Bring an extra umbrella when it rains. Courtesy opens more legs than charm.

Rule #64: Always save room for cake.

Rule #65: When your crash partner fails, you fail. No man is an island.

Rule #66: Smile! You're having the time of your life.

Rule #67: Mix it up a little. You can't always be the man with the haunted past.

Rule #68: Dance with the Bride's grandmother.

Rule #69: No sex on the altar. Confessionals, okay. Chair lofts, better.

Rule #70: Two shutouts in a row? It's time to take a week off. Ask yourself: what is it that is getting in the way of my happiness?

Rule #71: Research, research, research the wedding party. And when you are done researching, research some more.

Rule #72: Studies have shown that women have a more developed sense of smell. Breath mints: small cost, big yield.

Rule #73: Keep interactions with the parents of the bride and groom to a minimum.

Rule #74: In case of emergency, refer to the rulebook.

Rule #75:

Rule #76: No excuses. Play like a champion.

Rule #77: Carry extra protection at ALL times.

Rule #78: The unmarried female rabbi: is she fair game? Of course she is.

Rule #79: The tables furthest from the kitchen always get served first.

Rule #80: Stop, look, listen. At weddings. In life.

Rule #81: Occasionally bring a gift: you're getting sex without having to buy dinner, so you can afford a blender.

Rule #82: Always think ahead but always stay in the moment. Reconcile this paradox and you'll not only get the girl, you might also get peace of mind.

Rule #83: Don't let the ring bearer bum your smokes. His parents may start to ask questions.

Rule #84: Stay clear of the wedding planner. They may recognize you and start to wonder.

Rule #85: Don't use the "I have two months to live" bit: not cool, not effective.

Rule #86: Shoes say a lot about the man.

Rule #87: Always choose large weddings. More choice. Easier to blend.

Rule #88: You're from out of town. ALWAYS.

Rule #89: Know something about the place you say you are from, whether be from another US state or another country. Texas is too-played out. For some reason, England, Germany or even New Hampshire seem to work. Master the accents convincingly, and you've nailed them!

Rule #90: Of course you dream of one day having children.

Rule #91: Never dance to "What I Like About You." It's long past time to let that song go. Someone will request it at every wedding. Don't dance to it. No matter how hot the girl.

Rule #92: Tell the bride's friends and family that you are family of the groom and visa-versa.

Rule #93: Only take one car. You never know when you'll need to make a fast escape.

Rule #94: Deep down, most people hate themselves. This knowledge is the key to most bedroom doors.

Rule #95: Try not to show off on the dance floor. This means you Jeremy.

Rule #96: Etiquette isn't old-fashioned. It's sexy.

Rule #97: Catholic weddings: the classic dilemma: painfully long ceremony: horny girls.

Rule #98: The newspaper Wedding Announcements are your racing form. Choose carefully.

Rule #99: Be judicious with cologne. Citrus tones are best.

Rule #100: Save the tuxes for "the big show" only.

Rule #101: Avoid women who were psychology majors in college. There is no kind of woman more clingy and persistent than a psychologist investigating your story later on.

Rule #102: No periwinkle colored ties, please.

Rule #103: Always have an early "appointment" the next morning.

Rule #104: Be well groomed and well-mannered.

Rule #105: Never cockblock a fellow Crasher. Cockblocking an invited guest--okay.

Rule #106: Eat plentiful, digest your food. You'll need the energy later.

Rule #107: Know when to abandon ship if it ain't floating.

Rule #108: Know your swing and salsa dancing. Girls love to get twisted around.

Rule #109: Always carry an assortment of place cards to match any wedding design.

Rule #110: Make sure your magic trick and balloon animal skills are not rusty. If the kids love it, the girls will too.

Rule #111: Never have sex with bride or groom's mother even if she is the hottest bombshell at the wedding. Just control yourself.

Rule #112: Have FUN! It's why you're there!

Rule #113: Don't look for opportunities; make them.

Rule #114:

3-4 months to wedding crash--funerals are year round!

Rule #115: Never walk away from a crasher in a funny jacket. (The rule that Jeremy makes up to insult John)

Rupert Everett dishes

O lordy ... this story is such delectable swill...



Sharon stepped out of her white towelling dressing gown and stalked over to the bed, totally naked.
Her body was extraordinary. Beautiful hips, wide shoulders, a flat stomach, shapely breasts and gazelle legs, all wrapped in porcelain skin; powdered and highlighted, waxed and perfumed.
You could feel the surge of energy engulf the set. Several hours later, we were lying naked on a bed in a pool of light from a forest of lamps. I was on top of Sharon, lying between her legs.
We both smoked a cigarette, while Sharon's hairdresser rubbed ice cubes on her nipples and a make-up artist covered up a few spots on my bum.
Someone measured the distance between the camera and Sharon's crotch with a tape measure. The operator practised zooming in on it with his camera.
Sharon watched lazily, leaning back so that the camera could get right in. After icing her nipples, the hairdresser blow-dried them with his hairdryer.
The conversation turned to sex. "You know what I say when I'm f*** ing a guy?" said Sharon.
"I say, stop. Look at me." I looked at her. "Now. Talk to me." "Talk to you?" I asked, incredulous. "Communicate," she said. "What? While we're - ". "And now… go in and out real slow." "Oh my God, now I know why I'm gay."




It's all from Rupert Everett: My life with the divas. The tale above is about Sharon Stone.


"Man, she came into me last night. She's right there." Sharon banged her chest with her fist, then opened her fingers and grabbed one of her breasts, shaking it with passion. A man at the next table nearly fell off his chair.



Then there's Bob Geldof.
Bob had just performed in Alan Parker's adaptation of Pink Floyd's The Wall. According to Alan, Bob had a c*** so big that he needed a wheelbarrow to carry it around in.


Everything about Bob announced the fact: the incredibly thin body, the large pushy nose, the jungle smell of the man and, of course, the delight he evidently felt at the sound of his own voice.

He never listened. But this is not a put-down. Actually, it is the recipe for success. Bob was definitely sexy in a good old-fashioned Rimbaud (the poet) kind of a way, and all set to become a legend one way or another.




And of Julia Roberts ...

Julia was beautiful and tinged with madness, that obligatory ingredient for a legendary film star. Most of the time she was a calm, practical earth mother, curled up on a director’s chair in a cardigan with her knitting needles and a bag of wool. But sometimes she would rear up like an untamed filly, with flared nostrils and rolling eyes at some invisible lasso.

She had a vein on her forehead that occasionally stood out. That was a sign not to make any fast moves. She could buck you, or kick out.



This bit is very fascinating to me. God, what an awful world to live in, but is it not the same as ours?

Like Madonna — of whom, much more tomorrow — Julia smelt vaguely of sweat, which I thought was very sexy. There is a male quality to the female superstar. There has to be. If a girl is going to survive in Hollywood, she must develop special ‘people skills’.

Flocks of executive seagulls will try to take her and drop her onto the rocks. She must learn to f*** them before they f*** her if she is to survive, so she becomes a kind of she-man, a beautiful woman with invisible balls. After sex with a man, she fights the desire to eat him.

For him, and all the hims like him, the smell of her sweat is a strange and powerful reminder, attractive and terrifying, of who is wearing the trousers. It marks him out as her territory.

And this film was Julia’s territory. But there was another embryonic superstar taking her first tentative steps on the same set: Cameron Diaz. Cameron was the antithesis of Julia. She was gangly and exuberant, a tomboy with gazelle’s legs, and good in high heels, which Julia wasn’t. She loved greasy burgers, didn’t care that it made her spotty, and she wiped her hands on her jeans after she ate. She went out with Matt Dillon.

‘Why can’t Cameron relax around me?’ asked Julia one day. Actually Julia couldn’t relax around Cameron.

It requires a strong nerve for a superstar to take a part where she loses the guy to a younger girl. It meant that Julia was no longer an ingenue.


Must be some fall out for this, but the writing is lovely and the dish, sublime.
