There was some debate over whether to have birdseed or bubbles as we exited the chapel. Somehow this detail fell through the cracks until the day before the wedding.

After some scrambling, bird seed was bought, and since there wasn't time to put it in festive little pouches, it was dumped in a few fancy baskets to be passed around.

Now, here's why the pouches are a good idea... a handful of bird seed, even a casual handful of birdseed, is a lot of birdseed.

We were barraged with birdseed. By the time we were halfway down the line we could no longer hide the fact that it was painful and disorienting (luckily, it was also funny). Just to understand the sheer force of it all, look at the top left corner of this picture at that terrifyingly massive clump of birdseed heading our way.

Also take note of Prouty's follow through on what was clearly an overhand throw.

You should also note that your friends are a-holes who were well aware that it would hurt and we all still took 2 heaping handfuls to chuck at you anyway. Your problem was placing trust in individuals who have no self control when it comes to potential bits.
