If you’re a first-time reader this will all seem incredibly strange and disorienting and you should probably just come back tomorrow, but if you know the mighty saga of James Garfield then totally stick around.
The glorious taxidermied head of James Garfield has been responsible for a great many unintentional social-media miracles since the day I forced Victor to rescue him from dismemberment (not the least of which was the time when he inadvertently raised $42,000 to help people buy Christmas gifts for their kids and then ended up on Canadian TV for some reason) but today he adds “accidental matchmaker” to his list of accomplishments.
Once, years ago, an adorable man (and dedicated reader) bought a James Garfield holiday card for a beautiful woman (also a long-time reader) with the express intent of catching her attention. At the time I mentioned to him that sending a mildly profane holiday card with a dead boar head on it was probably the worst seduction plan ever invented, but he was adamant that it would work. And apparently he was right, because a few minutes ago that same man asked that same woman to be his wife. And she just said “yes”.
Congrats to the bad-ass couple.
This is supposed to be a picture of James Garfield dressed for a wedding. Victor pointed out that James Garfield is a dude so he should be dressed in a tux and top-hat rather than a veil but I don’t believe in gender-sterotyping. Plus, I don’t have a wild boar tux just laying around the house.
I’m not made of tuxedos, Victor.

I never knew just how dainty and feminine James Garfield could be. I’d marry him right now if I wasn’t already married. And if I was sexually attracted to taxidermied boars heads.
Congrats to the happy couple.

If he’s not the ring bearer at the wedding, then there is no justice in the world. Also, I can see James Garfield was inspired by Kate Middleton. He is rocking that tiara. Very timely, James. Very timely. But who are you fooling wearing white?
HeathRobots recently posted..I Accept an Invitation to a Murder Party
Just today I sent a turkey to the taxidermist (it sounds weird, I know) and I thought to myself “How weird will it be to pick this thing up and drive the hour home with it? Should I put him in the front seat so he can see the scenery on the way home? That would be fun to see drive by, right?”
And then I realized it sounded A LOT like something you would do, Jenny.
Please say that James Garfield can be the ringbearer! He can be pulled down the aisle in a little red wagon with the rings on his tusk! It would be magical.
Please please please say that James Garfield will be attending the wedding. Please.
I love that you are made of wedding veils and tiaras. Me too, really.
This begs the question: are match.com and eHarmony overlooking the “compelled to romance by taxidermied animals” algorithm in the compatibility software.

Proper wedding etiquette dictates that all taxidermied animals wear white in honor of the bride.
It’s common sense.
James Garfield is a saint AND matchmaker.
What will he do next?
Create mid East peace?
I think so.
Wow, okay. I just took a trip back through time to learn the origins of James Garfield, because I’m always so LOST on the Bloggess. I’m glad I took a few minutes to complete this research.
My husband and I have a similar negotiations practice. Like, he has a dried, dead duck hanging from his office door. For fishing, or something. So when I put up the one-eyed bust of Elvis, and he looked at it askance, I pointed to the dead duck wall decor. So when HE wanted to hang a giant poster of Yip Man, and I looked skeptical, he pointed to my one eyed Elvis. So when *I* wanted to display a wedding cake topper where the bride’s head was replaced with a giant monkey head, etc. etc. etc.
And that is why our house is filled with awful crap, and we are the happiest married couple anywhere.

If James doesn’t make ring bearer, I’ll be shocked.
And by ring bearer, I mean the pillow. Can’t you just picture some kid carrying a boar’s head down the aisle?
And the rings will be on his teeth.
So cute, and romantic to boot!

I am totally on boar-d with the wedding dress scenario. Whose to say the boar is hetero anyway? Admittedly I may be wrong because I don’t know the backstory, but honestly, it seems a little trite and boar-ing to assume James likes the ladies.

CatZilla recently posted..Liam Saw Jesus at Craker Barrel
If James Garfield is not IN the wedding I’m going to be so disappointed. Surely he could be the ring bearer or the flower girl (I don’t believe in gender stereotyping either). Or at the very least an usher. Even though everyone knows the usher is the role you give someone you feel obligated to have in your wedding but secretly don’t want in your wedding. Come to think of it, being an usher might hurt James Garfield’s feelings. Best to stick to the ring bearer position.

Wow. That makes at least two couples that found one another via The Bloggess. Myself and my Aussie being the other one. But we aren’t getting married. At least, not to my knowledge.
I have serious commitment issues though, so if we were getting married I would likely be too busy having a panic attack in a locked bathroom somewhere to read this or to comment. The M-word kind of (totally) makes me hyperventilate.
But I’m happy for the couple that is getting married. Partly because they are getting married and partly because they are clearly less damaged than I am.

One of the best wedding gifts I received was the shellacked carcass of an armadillo. Extra shellack assures that the newlyweds probably won’t get leprosy.
This was a very cherished piece of home decor until the head fell off . I tried to recover by placing the head atop the back, like a hellish armadillo totem pole, but the impact was lost.
James Garfield is ALL head, so he is still considered elegant home decorating for your tasteful domicile.
