Still hope nobody was ticked off that it ate their holiday weekend. We tried to be conscious of that and compensated by planning fun things to do (and we covered those costs) for anyone who was in town for the rest of the weekend beyond the festivities - tickets to a home baseball game, private group tour of the…

Seriously! And she would've gotten all the glass shards in her foot, not to mention that they would have gone flying! There's a reason that when the groom steps on the glass during the ceremony, it is in a little pouch that is tied shut!

I did, too. I thought a lot about it, but I really like the sense of togetherness that came with taking his name.

A possible defense of some holiday weddings... I actually got married on Labor Day... we live on the east coast and that's where our families are from, but we have a ton of family/friends from the west coast (maybe 1/4 to 1/3 of our guests were coming from the west coast). Since we're Jewish and can't get married on…

Brides fell out and sat on separate tables.

Ahh that makes sense. I am so excited to watch this!!!

What?? How?? Please share...

I'll vote for that.

I just spit coffee on my computer. Nicely done.

Looooooved those choker things! Totally remember those getting ready for the mall days. I'm at my parents' house right now and sitting in my old room (which has been redone since then) but wondering if some of that old stuff is socked away somewhere. Hmm. Guess I'm not getting anything else done today...

Have to say - I met her once and she was an incredibly happy surprise - sweet, friendly, and gracious. It was a long time ago - back in the Return of Saturn days, when she had the bright-pink-with-black-underneath hair - and I was superfan-style listening to that album nonstop - and was completely disarmed and…

Yup, also about commute time - factor in public transportation times. You can be a short distance between home and work if you're measuring distance "as the crow flies," but if you have to switch trains three times you're going to have a long trip.

Yes! Know how to apologize. Be sincere, and make things right.

Often, the written recantations are in the penmanship of the fucking abuser.

Oh wow. I am so, so sorry.

I definitely understand your concern, but you can certainly voice that concern to the people at the hotline. I'm sure they've heard that worry before and at the very least will help you talk through it. The people at the hotline may have some ideas about how you could approach the situation that might sound more…
