Why do famous people think this is okay to do? Fine, I admit that it was pretty neat when Bill Murray showed up at a bachelor party or when Taylor Swift crashed that bridal shower, and apparently it was just so darn gracious of the Ghostbusters actor to make a funny speech and for the pop star to bring the bride a KitchenAid Mixer. But you know what? Those aren't gifts. They don't make up for the attention you took away from me. That's underhanded thievery and good PR at my expense. You, Celebrities, are stealing my thunder for personal viral marketing. You don't get to enjoy your own secret wedding and use mine for publicity. You can't have my wedding cake and your wedding cake and eat it too.

Because you see, Celebrities, in the same way that you don't want to be bothered by fans while you do normal things like eat dinner, I don't want to be bothered by your limelight when I'm enjoying my big day - whatever big day that is (ie: wedding, first day at a new job, getting tile 2048 after endless hours of playing 2048). It's my time to shine. I get one day to feel special and beautiful and famous. You get the rest of them. That's how the world works. You can't take mine too, even if you are pretty.

Is this a problem? Is this a new celebrity fad? Like adopting African babies, microbiotic diets and Scientology?

Yes it is.

Let me go through the list of celebrities that crashed my wedding followed by their gift:

MC Hammer - Too Legit To Quit CD
Jessica Simpson - Waffles Of The Month membership
Dustin Diamond - nothing, not a dang thing
Bill Bixby - George Forman Grill (which we were actually registered)
Richard Grieco - Teeth whitening kit (opened)
Yasmine Bleeth - Four pairs of Lee jeans (wrong size) with a small clear baggy in front right pocket of one

Lol, hardly a problem. And no, I wouldn't care, I'd think it would be funny & cool. Good photo op for myself. Big deal, they probably stay for a couple minutes & then vamoose.

More likely, Serena was on the beach, spotted by the wedding party, and THEY asked if they could take pictures with her. The writer of the article sounds pretty presumptuous.
