Shortly before my wedding, I found (and purchased) the bride and groom Beanie Babies. Shortly after my wedding, I started what some referred to as my "wedding shrine." The top of my entertainment center was covered with all sorts of wedding paraphernalia, and not just mine. Wedding invitations and favors from 5 or 6 weddings joined my bouquet and one of my bridesmaids' bouquets (silk flowers).
Well, for some reaon my brain didn't stop to think that chocolate wrapped in tulle and tied with ribbon (the theme of more than one of the favors) would attract BUGS after oh, say, a year and a half to two years. They were everywhere. Bryan and I went to move everything off the top of the entertainment center to clean and de-bug, and Bryan noticed several little holes in the bottom of my bears! The little fuckers were nesting in my bears!
The bride and groom Beanie Baby bears were wrapped in a plastic grocery bag, together for all eternity, and placed grudgingly in the garbage.
The crying. Oh, the crying. You'd think somebody DIED, the crying. I'm getting verklempt again just thinking about it. :(
