Can you name 7 ways to mess up a wedding? Surprisingly “inviting Adam Sandler” is not on the list


Adam Sandler - They're All Going to Laugh At You
Adam Sandler – They’re All Going to Laugh At You

Web Watch has had some wonderful wedding memories:

  • There was the wedding at the bowling alley during the Stanley Cup playoffs
  • The wedding where the bride proudly proclaimed to everyone within hearing distance how she wasn’t going to consummate the marriage that night… and why.
  • Getting the entire wedding party to lick the ice sculpture as a photo opportunity for the official photographer…after pretty much all the other guests have already done the same thing.
  • That wedding where we had to arrive six hours early to clean the bathrooms at the reception hall

And then there was the wedding where the DJ was asked to play the first 20 seconds – and only the first 20 seconds – of this NSFW song during the reception:

Seriously, that was a wedding to remember. And all of the above — good friends, and good times all. 

And no, we won’t mention the engagement party where the groom-to-be publically and graphically declared his love for his bride’s bosom.  Because that was not a wedding, and therefore ineligible for this post.

How many steps do you think you take each day? (42% of you will be way, way off)


Pedometer

Think about this while you sit at your desk or sit in traffic:  HOW MANY STEPS DO YOU THINK YOU TAKE IN A DAY?

In a 2004 study of 200 men and women, researchers determined that an average man walks about 7,192 steps per day, while the average woman takes about 5,210 steps per day. 

Trust us when Web Watch tells you that those numbers are way above today’s average of around 3,000 steps per day (most likely due to Web Watch and other Internet distractions).  If it helps, RECENT GOVERNMENT RECOMMENDATIONS call for a healthy person to be taking 10,000 steps per day – or about 5 miles.

What?  You’re not walking 5 miles a day?  Apparently, neither are a lot of other people.

However, everyone thinks they are.
