"Save The Date"...IDIOTIC...and other MARRIAGE BASHING fun with Marcia Cross & David Letterman!!
Marcia Cross -- who is just more beautiful and captivating every time I see her -- was on Dave tonight, discussing the delightfully zany way she met/stalked her fiance. She's 43, her fiance's 47, and it will be the first marriage for both. That ALONE deserves a half hour's applause. A bit into the completely amusing interview, she casually mentioned sending out "Save The Date" cards, and Dave laughed uproariously before saying, "Save the date, now isn't that IDIOTIC?" It was a scathing moment, dripping with eyerolling disgust...brilliant! I wanted to LEAP through my TV and bitch with the two of them. Marcia agreed, then added that so MUCH of the whole wedding process was idiotic.
I think the best was saved for last, though. Dave noted Marcia's age and said how he felt it was wise she and her fiance each waited so long to get hitched. Marcia then mentioned not caring about wedding details. This all resulted in Dave imitating a 20-year-old bride shrieking "I wanna be a PRINCESS!," before he expressed his belief that the 20-year-old newlywed PRINCESS he mocked would wind up divorced, while those who spend their 20s, 30s, even 40s enjoying life & figuring out who they are before tying the knot (around their necks) will more likely go the distance. Reviewing it in print doesn't remotely do it justice. I'll have to seek out the repeat and tape it for smug daily viewings.
The entire interview just mercilessly mocked the institution of marriage and the stupidity of so many...particularly the very young. SO rare I hear opinions that jibe with those that reside in my own head -- on many issues -- but particularly marriage. So WHAT a fucking joy to hear MY thoughts uttered on national TV by someone who's CLEARLY very bright and respected. Letterman, I love thee even more after tonight. And Marcia...you're rocketing to the top of my very sparse Celebs I Love list. BRAVO to you both! And to think this blog entry only BEGINS to touch on my thoughts on marriage...
