Tonight, I attended a wedding preview at the venue that we are having our reception at. After scarfing down all of the hors d'oeuvres to get rid of my hunger (oh yeah and also make mental notes in an attempt to choose some for our reception), talking to vendors, checking out a potential centerpiece (what?), I was drawn to the sound of running water coming from the central pond. Focused on the water, my mind spaced out as I took steps toward the serene sound. As I inched closer to the serenity from the wedding madness, my moment of tranquility was rudely interrupted when I caught myself almost fall over vertically. It's like I had stepped on a banana in a cartoon. I looked down to find the culprit, when I noticed that the color of the floor was a shade of white that differed from the rest of it. What could it be? Just then I learned that the culprit--this white piece running along the floor--was called an “aisle runner”.
Aisle Runner. Pronunciation: [ahyl] [ruhn-er]. Definition: ?
Fellas, what is an aisle runner and its purpose? Hmmm... Eh, who cares, I’m bored…
If any of you know what this mysterious item is, feel free to share with the rest of us so that we can fill in the definition.

Just like most items at a wedding that go overlooked by men, well this is another. From what I can recollect, is, that there isn't much dirt or cobblestone at these city churches! How regal can we get!
ReplyDeleteGrooms must think of this as well, "Don't fall, please don't trip over the runner." Sure the aisle runners give a nice picturesque look to the wedding, they can also be a bit of a walking hazard! I've seen some brides tank it as they stroll down the aisle. I guess thats the chance you take to keep that dress clean!
