I am not a Kurt Busch fan, even less of a Kyle Busch fan, but there is something about a wedding that makes every girl a little giddy. The entire NASCAR nation knows that he's getting hitched this weekend and you just can't help but snicker. Is it because it is LOVE? Is it because everybody knows what happens on the honeymoon? Is it because he's brave enough to do it in the middle of the season? I have to say this - what Eva wants, Eva gets. That tells me just a little about Kurt Busch. It tells me that he loves her enough to give her everything that she wants for her wedding (aside the beetle-free beach). Let's face it - a wedding is really all about the bride! The groom just shows up because there is going to be one hell of a party aftewards.
Planning a wedding is no fun. Yes, girls dream about it their entire life and probably have some specific details jotted down prior to them ever meeting their prince charming, and we get a little teary eyed looking at wedding gowns, but if you want your dream wedding, you have to go into it knowing that stress comes with it. Afterwards, you hear people saying "If I could do it over, I would do it different." Well, that's not really true. The real reason you can say that is because you've had your dream wedding and experienced all the headaches and heartaches and even blissful moments that come with it - and if you could do it all over not knowing that- you would probably plan the exact dream wedding to begin with. I had a huge wedding and not on Kurt Busch's income, but a huge wedding is what my husband and I both wanted. We come from large Hispanic families that have large Hispanic Catholic weddings followed by a full dinner and dance, paid for entirely by us. The only ones that had a say if we wanted fresh or fake flowers was me and my husband - we chose fresh. My wedding was exhausting, but I wouldn't change one thing (well...maybe some small detail like my headpiece.) So speaking from bride to bride - I hope that Eva gets everything she wants because every bride deserves it.
Speaking from fan to fan - I'm scared. I'm scared I will become a Kurt Busch fan because I'm seeing a little of his gentle, loving, human side of a driver who doesn't even look like a driver to me. I never even paid attention to these big ears he had before he pinned them back. I just couldn't get past his face and just kept pondering that he doesn't even fit the description of what you think a race car driver would look like. His brother even looks less like a race car driver. Never mind the fact that I don't particularly like his style of driving and the excuses that he has for it aftewards. Oh well, it's going to be fun to watch that after-the-honeymoon-grin when they interview him at Indy. I'm sure the garage will be full of...well...whatever men kid each other after they are married.
