Party Planking

For those of you who live under a rock, "planking" or the "lying down game," is a popular trend of lying face down in an unusual location. According to Wikipedia, the term planking is described as "the practice of lying down flat with arms to the side, to mimic a wooden plank."





There are two things to consider when planking. First, an individual's form while planking is of the utmost importance. While planking, your hands must touch the sides of your body, your legs must remain straight and together with your toes pointed and your arms must be held straight by your side with your fingers pointed. Second, the location should be as public as possible. Not to mention, the more people involved the better. People often compete to plank in the most unusual, incongruous locations. Having a photograph of the participant taken and posted on the Internet is an integral part of the game. Since it began, people have been photographed planking in some of the most unusual locations including on top of poles, roofs, vehicles, or, as in the picture to the right, camels.



Now you're thinking to yourself, "How does this relate to events?!" Well dear readers, this strange - yet awesome - phenomena is taking over the wedding world!
