And the sound of your actual stiletto heels clicking ominously (a word that here means up to no good) on the cold tiles of the floor slowly fades into the distance!

And now I’ll tell you all about me, because I have a (somewhat) similar story. Since my younger sister and I were little, everything in our family has been about her. The question “How will Amy’s Younger Sister feel about this?” runs through my mom’s mind I’d guess at least once a day, even though we’re now in our…

True story: some guest’s +1 did this at my cousin’s wedding; it was basically a wedding dress if you married (hah) a little black dress and a wedding dress. Office printer paper white and more lace than the actual bride’s dress—justified, of course, by the fact that the +1 had been married 5 months ago and considered…

I would watch movies where either of these instances were the main plotline, fyi. Or like a Sliding Doors type deal where you saw what happened either way.

And here I thought my dad won the prize, when shortly after finding out the girl he’d conquered in a Montreal hotel room got knocked up from the experience (he had just turned 35, she was 20), took her out to dinner and did an “embarrassing” (mom’s word) on-bended-knee in a desperate attempt to add some romance to…

Mothers in law: not totally shitty.

If she cared you would not be in the bridal party. Don’t slouch! Have faith that other people noticed you were tall eons ago.

Right there with you girl:

I teared up and cried a bit. My husband, however, ugly-sobbed his way through it. It was amazing.

I did not cry. I did, however, start to have one hell of a panic attack once it was time for me to walk down the aisle. As I started to wheeze and get dizzy, my father (who was walking me down the aisle) looked at me and just grinned.

In the Mormon world we counted all of our make out partners because that’s all you would do.

If i can count those, then it’s in the hundreds.

I am sure that I have had this conversation with my husband, but I can’t for the life of me remember what his answer was.

This is just like when I was originally cast to play Kate Winslet’s role in Titanic and then it was cruelly ripped away from me. I mean, sure, the movie had already come out... but I retroactively was determined to be the better person for the role. And, sure, I was only in 6th grade. But as I nightly gazed up at a…

It’s so strange to me that people don’t understand “washroom”. I’m from the US and I’ve never once misunderstood that term even before I ever touched the BBC.

Eh, there’s a difference there. I mean, Whopper is a specific trademarked menu item at a competitor. “Large” is a common adjective. I mean, if you’re being a dick and making a show about avoiding their bullshit terminology (my bias is showing, isn’t it?), then, well, yeah. You’re being a dick. (Albeit, a totally…

How many times has she read about how wrong her face is? How many times has someone posted video, meme, or comment about her nose, or her butt, or her boobs? So she goes out and buys new ones, but those ones aren’t right either, and then she gets to read and hear about how screwed up her body and face are?

No Harrison Ford is a prick. I stole bread from his breadbasket on my way out of a restaurant on purpose. He fucking deserved it.

I mean, clearly her beauty and privilege are things that have drawn people to her, but there are lots of attractive rich people who dress well that haven’t garnered a fraction of the fascination that she has. A lot of public interest stems from the emotional strength she displayed under incredible difficult…

I don’t think it’s in good taste to minimize anyone’s personal tragedies. You really can’t compare your tragedies to someone else’s. It’s actually a really shitty and mean thing to do. You don’t even know this woman, and you’re so quick to minimize her life. Why? Is it to make yourself feel somehow superior because…

Pledges are legally binding *once the timer is up*. During the countdown period it’s just people saying, “I intend to donate X”, but it hasn’t actually been donated until the timer hits 0. That’s why they can say, “I no longer intend to donate X.” before the timer is up.
