My friends were mad at me that I went alone to buy my wedding dress (I had seen it online and just went and got it at the store). In particular my one friend was mad at me because she wouldn’t get to dress shop with me. Which in her mind means making me cry and forcing me into her wedding fantasy in the vein of SYTTD.

Ugh I’m sorry. Why are dad’s so selfish? My dad really isn’t a bad guy and I love him and we have a great relationship (now). It just wasn’t always great and I felt like he ignored me for a long time.

THIS. I know that no one is going to buy us that fancy ass luggage but I get a sick discount on it in October and my honeymoon is in November.

HOO BOY. Entitlement is the wedding watch word of the week. My dad ignores me for most of my life and now feels entitled to walk me down the aisle and is throwing a hissy fit that I don’t want him to. Threatening to not come, or worse be an asshole the day of, ruining my wedding. YAY FAMILY!

She works hard like many other people with desirable jobs and attributes. And aren't we all inconsequential?

She’s half Chinese and she grew up regular old middle class. She got “discovered” as a model but wanted to be a journalist instead so she got into presenting. She’s thin, but so are lots of people.

I’m her age and I think about feminism all the time. Especially in the workplace because I have, you know, a real job.

I have supergas but not this style (I have the COTU Classic ones) and they are crazy comfortable and can take a serious beating.

“For Hillary Clinton to equate her political opponents to terrorists is a new low for her flailing campaign,” said Allison Moore, press secretary for the Republican National Committee. “She should apologize immediately for her inflammatory rhetoric.”

I tried on something on a whim, bought it before I was engaged (I knew it was coming) and every time I think about it I want to happy-cry. If I were a dress it would be this dress because its not a dress, its a skirt and top. You do you girl— and if you’ve got the dress now I highly recommend the Williamsburg Seamster…

This show taught me how to stand up straight and walk through a room like a baws.

In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the school refuses to teach them Defense Against the Dark Arts...kids have the internet. If I were in HS I would start an underground sex ed class a la Hogwarts but I’m a huge nerd.

Totally agree with you there! If I was having a huge wedding I wouldn’t do that. Especially if it included people I didn’t really know. That would be weird.

I disagree because every family is different. Our wedding is a small party for family and very close friends who know I wouldn’t “nudge them” to give me a gift. They know me, they know I’m not like that and they know my fiancee isn’t like that. If they would think otherwise...they probably weren’t invited.

noted. no snark. i am actually thinking of making them all very simple: thank you so much for coming, it was wonderful to see you etc. but def thanking everyone for being there.

WUT!? That is so rude. I plan to write thank you cards to every single person who attends my wedding, gift or no, to thank them for their time and well-wishes. That girl sounds terrible.

I sincerely hope I see you doing this someday. I will loudly applaud.

Tl;dr OMFG THIS IS MY #1 PET PEEVE IN NYC. Just put the fucking phone down. Unless you are actively saving a life on that thing, it can fucking wait. When I miss a train bc you thought checking your texts while walking up a flight of stairs was a good idea I really hope that someone knocks the thing onto the tracks.

Can we get an I Thee Dread article all about pre-nups? I’m interested...for a friend...

I always thought they’d work out, but when Ron was concerned for the safety of the House Elves in book 7 and she kisses him I was like “THEY ARE FOREVER.” Because he was capable of change. It was really sweet.
