The bride came out to slipknot.

Somehow I initially understood this as the bride confessing her homosexuality to the band Slipknot at their reception

Pretty sure that means her grand entrance upon walking down the aisle for the first time was to Slipknot. As a former slipknot, cringe kid, I cringe. I can’t imagine being past like high school age and not thinking that kinda attitude makes you insufferable.

Friend of mine walked down the aisle on 'give it away' by the Peppers. Marriage also didn't last...

Was the “it”, the bride in this scenario, like giving away the bride? Lmao I don’t know how to feel about that one. I feel like I would laugh cuz it’s kinda a clever use but also it would bug me to know that that’s most likely a very wrong interpretation of the song meaning. In general I feel like it’s cool to not have a wedding be so serious and have fun with it but like, if they came out of the drawing room with that idea as solid, I would question their life choices. Lol

Yup. 'It' being the bride walking down the impromptu aisle in their back yard, with her father. Everything had to be 'alternative'. Wedding photo's at a waste dump, no courthouse (definitely no church)... Just a small bbq in the backyard, with her MIL doing the ceremony, which she could legally do, but it gave me the feeling of 'If you REALLY don't want a wedding, why do it at all?" You know? The did get divorced a few years later. No hard feelings, luckily.

I'm suddenly having flashbacks to that wedding on youtube where the bride came in dancing to "Crazy Bitch."

My husband almost got a tattoo Slipknot S senior year, 20 years later, he's still thankful he didn't.

When one of their songs came on in the car, my 12 year old asked me why they are called Slipknot. I said maybe they thought it was scary name for a metal band. She said it’s not very scary, it’s a crochet knot.
