well, you could still choose getting shot. ;p

You're absolutely right, but how do you willingly attend something at gunpoint?

Ah, the many many ways the wedding-industrial complex has found to separate people from their money.

'Darling, shall we have a shadow wedding?' seems like a secret test to work out exactly how much more money than sense your future spouse actually has.

I feel like I've lived through several years of "shadow weddings" having been the unwilling witness to screaming fights between a roommate and her fiancé. Believe me, I was well acquainted with ALL of their mutual flaws. I cannot fathom the narcissism of requiring your friends and family to witness you and your…

Some people just like throwing away their money on really pretentious crap. And putting their friends through hell, apparently.

Narcissism. I know that deriding people for thinking they are "special, little snowflakes" is a bit passe, but, here, I think the phrase fits.

There's enough ugly in my day-to-day that I don't need a special ceremony to know if the guy I'm marrying is "really choosing me" even at my worst. Oh he's still there through my Salmonella poisoning (ie projectile vomit-rrhea), meeting my family, my getting fired, and buying a house together? Yeah, no shadow wedding…

I would hope that a couple getting married would have addressed their "darkest aspects" together and in private before, you know, deciding to get married. Why on Earth do so many people feel that nothing has happened unless it was both witnessed and documented?

If you are marrying someone shouldn't you already know them well enough to know their bad habits?

Dwight Howard has held controversial opinions for his entire career. For example, his belief that practicing free throws is a waste of time has offended basketball fans for years.

People who describe themselves as serious yelpers and have thousands upon thousands of reviews are annoying as fuck. It's a stupid hobby to be THAT serious about. Some of these people will try to get free stuff and name drop that they are a famous yelper/blogger. They write semi clever super long essays in which they…

Do you not understand that I'm using "mom shaming" in a tongue-in-cheek manner, or are you just trolling?

I wish my supermarket had an egg department :(

I give this article 1 star out of 5. The text of the reviews is too small to read on my phone.

What about people who still use paper books!!??

I mean, isn't 6.4% still like 500 pages? I'd say that's a good effort. ;)

Just like a white person to come on here and try to tell a female POC what to do. But #notallwhitepeople obviously...

So, help oppressed white people out by requesting a person of color shut up about race.

Hey Obviously White Dude - Don't tell her what to do, or what to write. Go mind yer business and troll somewhere else.
