this, right here, is the problem with too many weddings. your wedding is about having your friends and family around to support and love you as you take this huge step. not about having 'perfect pictures'

I hope you're not still friends with a woman who thinks "matchy-matchy photos" trump "dying grandfather".

Better yet, DON'T demote them and DO punch them in the face.

I have a great story of how NOT to handle changing the wedding party. I was at a wedding (not part of, but the bride was a close friend) where the initial maid-of-honor had been kicked out of the wedding for undisclosed reasons. The replacement maid-of-honor was then demoted to regular bridesmaid, at the rehearsal, f…

If bachelorette parties aren't the time for inappropriate flirting, what is even the point of them?

The MoH couldn't cancel her airfare for the destination wedding and ended up haunting the same resort area during the wedding, posting selfies from the bar.

I was in a wedding party where the bride booted the maid of honor from the wedding during the bachelorette party. Excessive booze, crying, hot tub fighting - it was all very Real Housewives-esque.

i get what you're trying to say, but there's nothing wrong with working in retail. thinking less of someone for being a cuntbucket doucherag is A+++++++++++++++++++++++, but shitting on someone because they work retail is the opposite of A+++++++++++++++++++++.

No to mention that, when polled, something like 80% of Americans think that non-discrimination laws for sexuality and gender identification already exist.

Honestly, the obsession with lobster baffles me. I'm allergic, and people flip the fuck out when they find out I've never had lobster. I have been told by multiple people, no joke, to eat some in the hospital parking lot then go in. Just so I can say I've had lobster.

I did think about it. I still don't agree. You're chalking up me dismissing your point as a cis person trying to talk over a transgender person, when in reality I'm dismissing your point simply because it's a bad one.

Funny story (I recognize that this is cross-dressing and not transgender but it's Saks so it reminded me): years and years ago I worked in handbags at Saks. I was friends with the manager of the ladies shoe department next door, big strapping guy, maybe 6'4". When he ordered in for his department he always made…

Asking for more considerate phrasing assumes that the original phrasing was inconsiderate. Just because you misunderstood it doesn't mean that it was inconsiderate.

Holy shit — you're joking, right? If I misgender someone or call someone "transgendered," that's on me. If you don't understand Title VII and its terminology, that's on you.

This is an article about the legal status of legally protected classes of citizens. MissAndry's phrasing was perfectly fine.

What?? You are not understanding. This is an article discussing a "legal situation" and a court filing in a pending court case. It is not "my phrasing;" it is the phrasing used in federal employment discrimination law, and the phrasing used by Saks' lawyers in their motion. I was quoting their court filing, as well as…

This is all gross, and since everyone else is focusing on myriad gross aspects of it, I'll just say: I only use [sic] when I want to be an asshole. Like even if something is grammatically incorrect, I'll usually just fix it in brackets, i.e.:

Saks, honey, is this really the hill that you want to die on?
