Yeah, I know. It's just the Happy Meal element that makes it "wacky," I guess. Like, is heroin considered a girl toy or a boy toy?

I really have no problem with people who want to have big weddings, as long as it's consensual. I'm thinking of people who drag their future spouse (let's be honest, usually the husband) into a situation they don't want to be in, who spend excessive amounts of money that they shouldn't be spending, and expect their…

This article has already been written a bunch of times, but Big Wedding is so powerful these days that low-level, reason-based attacks just plink harmlessly off its buttercream fondant armor. Good luck to you in the resistance, but watch out for saboteurs among the mothers and aunts.

she is definitely attractive, and i am definitely into the ladies. so i will definitely have to take your advice.

genetics because her faceeeeee, her faceeeeeeeee. lol i regret saying anything at all

VEGAS! Seriously. We planned our wedding with a one page list of check boxes, our "rehearsal dinner" was everyone getting drunk at the Hoffbrau Haus, our wedding was 10 minutes long, and our reception was three hours. And then for your honeymoon...you're already in Vegas!

Truth. My brother and his wife were professional dancers. They run a ballet school now. Ballerinas are hardcore; the pink and tulle everywhere just fools people.

I recently started dancing again at the age of 34 (after a long absence) and I love hearing about other adult hobby dancers! I also really love Misty Copeland because she can do it all. She has these spectacular classical lines and is also such a bad ass you can imagine her dancing everything from Giselle to a modern…

genetics were kind to her, that is for sure. not her fault and it's human nature to admire beautiful people/things.

Yes! Came here to say the same thing. I'm 26, and I really want to get back into ballet. I quit right before I would've been able to start dancing en pointe, and it is probably the biggest regret of my life. Misty gives me hope that it's possible for me to achieve that dream!

My wife wanted a big wedding. Her parents did too. They looked at it as a big party to celebrate new beginnings. It was an incredible night. My wife, nor her family, is insecure. They had the means, the funds, and the desire to have a big wedding so they did it.

I would give my money to anyone that could redesign the leotard so it actually gave someone a waist and non squished boobs!

Let's not forget that this woman, as a professional dancer, works out hard for hours every day. I don't think those legs are entirely the result of genetics.

From a (cheapskate) guest's perspective, the idea of buying engagement gifts and bridal shower gifts in addition to gifts for the wedding is abysmal.

Yes! Just yesterday I managed to break the inertia and get my ass up the hill for a walk (and I even jogged for like 20 feet) and this morning my legs are sore - but they're sore in a good way, a "hell yeah muscles are alive!" kinda way. This photo serves as inspiration to continue.

the amount of work she must put in...also-nice to see a ballerina who isn't bone thin.

There's a food trailer in Austin that is doing $30 weddings this month (and throwing in 2 of their delicious cheesesteaks, 2 orders of tots, and 2 drinks as part of the deal). I'm honestly contemplating this as an option. That's how seriously I hate everything surrounding the idea of paying for a giant party to…

You don't need the article to reject Big Wedding. Just do it. It's an industry built on preying on the insecurities of women. (Oh, you definitely need engagement pictures - YOU HAVE TO - what will everyone else who got them say about you if you don't?) Do what you and your fiancee want to do. Try to make the people…

I love this, as I love anything written by Drew. But on a similar note, where's the article about taking down Big Wedding?

This is not a solution that will work for everyone, but when I was a kid I got to go to Disneyland with 1 (sometimes 2) friends. My birthday is bang in the middle of the holiday season, so we always postponed the trip for Super Bowl Sunday. This was great because there's no one at Disneyland on Super Bowl Sunday, and…
