This happened to me, too! I was trying to avoid a tall girl in the front of the pack, and I overcompensated and hit the ceiling. It didn’t land on the floor, but it did land right in the surprised arms of my maid of honor. She said it all happened so fast. She was just standing there, she saw me throw it, and then it…

This is what we did at our wedding. It was totally voluntary. As it happens, two single people caught the items, but that was just a coincidence. Especially since my grandfather-in-law was ready to tackle someone for the garter (there was a prize in the form of a bottle of wine for the winner).

My wedding had just a few single attendees, so we knew we wanted to do an all-inclusive toss so everyone could participate. To make it fun, we included a nice bottle of wine for the winners of the bouquet and garter. Healthy competition was born.

Our DJ did this as the first dance after the “FIRST DANCE” of the bride and groom. It got everybody on the floor, and it really helped liven up the atmosphere for dancing throughout the night. Our guests were 90% our parents’ friends and old relatives, so we were surprised about how much dancing went on. I think the…

I just sent this gif to my husband without comment. He’s in a meeting right now, but I hope he opens his email thinking I need something important.

This annoyed me, too. They don’t deserve that kind of public hate (mostly because they aren’t interesting or controversial enough to justify the action). However, Miss America’s ugly beige and yellow dress deserved some boos.

Same. Our all-inclusive, out-of-state venue came with a wedding coordinator. I still picked the DJ, photographers, and ceremony musicians. She was mostly there to coordinate all the day-of stuff. Now, my stupid venue kept loosing the person in that position, so by the time I got to my wedding date, I was on my FOURTH…

I actually worked for Cutco over the summer while I was in college. I had a great experience. The office culture was shady shit and I did have to buy the demo product, but the actual knives were quality. I made a lot of money that summer, but I’m good at selling stuff I believe in. I still have and use the knives…

When I was 17, it was time to start auditioning for music schools to get into a University and continue my education. Lucky for me, my top choice school decided to send a representative to my city to do auditions for all of the musicians in my area.

This is the most organized fraternity party I’ve ever heard of. I considered it a win if the frats on my campus remembered to stock toilet paper before a party.

I agree with MoxyMissi. I had one MOH and gave “other wedding duties” to my friends. That way they could participate but they didn’t have to buy a special outfit. I put their names in the program along with their special duty. We didn’t have candle lighting or readings, but I gave them tasks like guestbook manager,…

I’m also an only child with a limited pool of lady friends. I only had one attendant and that worked for me. We made an activity out of finding her dress, so I went with her to try stuff on and I paid for it. It was a fun wedding-thing for us to do together that wasn’t particularly traditional or stressful. She looked…

I went to Spaghetti Factory a few times when I was a child. The restaurant was downtown in a giant, old warehouse. Obviously, I assumed it was a factory of spaghetti and that it was the only location. Years later I learned it was a chain and I felt a little stupid. I have no idea if other Factories are also in old…

I agree with your sentiment and sympathize with your complaint, however, I bet the Museum is hampered by licensing fees. Often, it’s much less expensive to license a portion of a song (especially the original recording) than the whole thing. I would assume that this particular museum would be able to negotiate a…

I didn’t want a videographer either. I still think it was the right call, but my mom regrets it sooooo much. We had a few guests take videos of the first dance and other important things. I didn’t ask them to do this, but they wanted the videos for themselves. Once I knew these existed, I procured them and gave them…

Tell your partner that some southern chick on the internet said they’re wrong. Scones and biscuits are totally different. For one, scones are chewy or crunchy and biscuits are flaky. Also, scones are a breakfast/brunch/tea item only. You would never have a scone with dinner. It’s an inappropriate side item.

When I was 14 my mother took me to see Cabaret on Broadway. I was not prepared. Awkward does not properly describe the feeling of seeing that show (from the tables in the front!!!) as a young teenager with my mother.

Regular tape is fine. Also, make sure the base coat is REALLY dry. I usually wait 24 hrs, but that’s because I’m paranoid. The results are amazing, though. I always get compliments on my red nails with gold tips combo.

Thanks for the info! I’m always curious to learn more about my weird onion reaction.

I would like to know more about this. I have a severe reaction to raw onion (it makes my blood pressure go up then down very quickly, causing me to faint), but I have no problem with dried, cooked, or powdered onion. I assumed it was something in the oil. Is there some onion protein I’m actually allergic to?
