shoe full of rice

"A shoe full of rice" is a phrase in the song The Freshmen by The Verve Pipe. In the context of the song, commonly assumed to be about a botched abortion and a girlfriend's suicide, "a shoe full of rice" seems to be a nonsequitor. However, the song's author explains that "a shoe full of rice" simply is symbolic of a wedding. In many traditions, wedding guests shower the bride and groom with rice/grains to represent fertility. Because of the abortion referred to in the song, there will be no wedding.

Here's a quote from the author of The Freshmen, Brian Vander Ark:

"STOP A BABY'S BREATH, AND A SHOE FULL OF RICE, NO. first of all, forget the NO. stop a baby's breath is just that. abort the baby. a shoe full of rice is a result of a wedding. so--stop a baby's breath AND then you stop a wedding. she's pregnant, get her to abort, and then there's no wedding."
"Stop a baby's breath, and a shoe full of rice."

Q: Hey, does anyone know what does "a shoe full of rice" means?
A: It's just supposed to symbolize a wedding; at some weddings, they throw rice.

Reece is the best there is. He is amazing. There’s no amount of words to describe how good he is.

If you are lucky enough to know a Reece you should always treat him kindly. He would sacrifice the world for you. A guy like Reece doesn’t waste his time with just anyone, so that’s how you know you are special.

Reece is the kind of guy to surprise you by making you mad at him first so the surprise is even better. He would shower you with love all day because that’s just who he is.

A guy like Reece is always there for you. He’d go the extra mile and then some. There really is no comparison to a Reece.

If you are lucky enough to DATE a Reece, then you better never let go. You just got blessed with the best. To date a Reece is to date your best friend. It’s to be so intimate with someone you’ve never known a love so good.
