I hate ceremony's. I'd much rather get married on a beach, or at a party, or some such. None of that christian bullshit that everyone sleeps through. I'll have a FUN wedding, biotches!!! Agnostics rock. :)

The cermony was cold, bitter and utterly worthless. Why should we have to put ourselves throgh this every year? The harvest comes with the rain and then the ceremony to cap it all off, but why? Does it help us end the year in any way? I guess it does have a spiritual effect on us all.

ceremony reminds me of weddings and love..... I think of flowers and words expessed from love and appreciation. know that this is something to go for................

ceremonies are boring and outdated. the only purpose they serve is to fill a void in the lives of people who cannot simply enjoy a moment without making a big deal about it. ateentions whores enjoy ceremonies.

Tower Grove Park and then the cuban man with the postcard on his lapel..."marriage is a contract, not an obligation." Then Tower Grove park again. Then my ring finger itching when I told you I love you back. The formalities are only in our heads...for other people...for their benefit.

I tipped my veiled hat to the wooden box, looking at the slick wood and the cool satin. He looked so unnatural in that suit, looked so unnatural with his hands folded neatly over his stomach. I gave him my bow tie, which he gave me on prom night, pursing my lips. I glanced to his mother, who smiled at me, and I leaned down to quickly kiss his dead lips.

we kill kings and eat them with wine, wash my blood in my wine, mixed blood in wine, like this fellow used to put his blood in the ketchup at the diner in boston he worked at, then came up in Marty's, chased his girl around the block, shot her through the skull. I drink from the skulls of my enemies but wine falls through temple

the pomp and ceremony inherent in the more traditional churches have always appealed to me.. on a trip to rome, I was awestruck by the grandeur of a papal mass...wow.

And then it began to rain and we stood there outside the church getting soaked...her long white dress, my tuxedo, the families' nice clothes...but in the end it turned out all right, I guess. We only slipped on the rice twice, and landed in the limousine with her dress around her waist and me between her legs. I don't think anyone saw us because at that point the car was moving, which only added to the excitement, now that I think about it. Because you can't stand on ceremony. You have to let life happen, you know.

Hm. Should we, or shouldn't we? Mixed faiths and all that. More to the point, for some people at least, is that we're both women. Well, the bods are female, at least. I'd love to smash the wineglass under a canopy though.

It annoyed him. All this silliness and pointless worrying and effort just to put a dead body into the ground. He was gone, you bastards, he felt like shouting. Just move on. Driving really slowly and loking sullen isn't going to change that. And then the coffin closed, and his face was never seen again.

The ceremony was long and tedious. And hot. But I walked away richer because I had an very important document. My diploma. It symbolized all the hard work and determination I put into my degree. And all the money spent. Too bad I don't use it.

Regligious usually. Something that we use to commemortate something important. Usually it doesn't happen in a big way, so we need a ceremony to bring it out. Give it significance. Ceremony can also turn into dead ritual.

The priests stood in a circle, all around the stone upon which a bloody red pi was engraved. The head priest chanted a word in Latin. All the others bowed. The head priest chanted a word in Sanskrit. The sky opened up and a cold rain fell. It was time.

Ceremony. I think of cherry blossoms when I think of ceremonies--graduation in June. Confirmation in May. Sakura Matsuri just around my birthday, when the grass is new and silky and the drummers--half Japanese, half volunteers from the Brooklyn Academy of Music--are dizzing in their rhythm.

it was a ritualized thing theyd gcome to do whenever the passing of one of their felloe companions occurred. they didnt like it anmore than the person lying in the box. but it was a necessity that was becoming far too common. anyhting that could be done to avoid it had ben tried, with little success. death was the only thing thay could be sure of.

Don't stand on ceremony. Why? Don't you think we'll fit. I'm in a strange mood and ceremony does little for me at the best of times. I'm too much of a bull in a barbershop. I can't get the etiquette right. Is it one hump or two.

the first thing that just popped randomly in my head is that wiccans use it to do their magick performances or prefrences, I think because of the precise time but isn't that all pointless to me?

Today's world seems devoid of meaningful ceremony. Artifice is artificial, and there is no camp enjoyment left. Maimed rights - we pine for what is lost, but to do so is far too hammy to bear.

Cermonial burial, involving corpses, mangled, hair, death. Smell of decay, rotting, blood, love. Lust of a demon; Love of an angel. Pure against Impure. Black against white. Controversial issues, leading to war. Leading back to death. And endless cycle, the cermony of irony. Always going................

wedding. funeral. mimmery. silent gestures to tell far more than words could. that's why it's stiff, after all. to say more than just the words. the words stand alone, but then under that is the whole reasoning for the ceremony, the decision to join in an endless community of those who have gone before

There is so much ceremony in the spring. New growth, new gardens, the first day one can wear a t-shirt with out a jacket, first robins, first daffodils, and so on and on and on. No other season is as laden with so many small ceremonies.

I don't want to get married. But I do want the ceremony. I've been planning it since I was very little. I've designed the dress (it always has an empire waist). I've written (and unwritten, and rewritten) my vows. I've decorated the inside of the church and chosen a minister to officiate. But I never designed a groom.

'This can't be right.' It keeps repeating itself in my head. 'It just can't be. It just can't be right.' It isn't my voice, though. It's yours. And I remember you in that moment. You were shaking your head in a way that broke my heart. Now you're beaming from the front of the room, dressed to destroy and I'm shaking like mad. I think you think I'm happy but you're sure I'm sure she's the one. I'm just the one who's getting along.

I had a graduation ceremony when I got to my senior year in high school...it was kinda boring and i couldn't see why everybody couldn't wait, but maybe it was because of the freedom. it seems kinda weird actually now that I think about it, but I wasn't particualarly looking forward to graduating. Not that I couldn't wait to get out of high school, but the thought of standing up in front of all those people almost made me sick.

Without ceremony she threw his gift down into the lime-green tiling of the kitchen, shattering it into thousands of tiny pieces of crystal that glowed dully in the dying of the light. "What was that for? Are you insane?" "Maybe I am. Maybe I am, Daniel. But at least I'm not a complete twit."

"Celebrations are for people who have something to celebrate." -- Ayn Rand. Ceremonies should be for people who revere something. Too many things in life become ceremonious with no backing, no truth, no seriousness behind them. Simple things that ought to be quiet and private become blow-out jubilees with no deserved jubilance.
