The husband knew. Check out their wedding photo in this article:

I registered for a Kitchen Aid and I bake all the time. I was ready to upgrade to a newer one instead of the hand-me-down one from my grandma, even though it worked perfectly. Really I just wanted a prettier color than avocado green. I also registered for lots of Le Creuset cookware to replace my older stuff.

What are you talking about? The majority of this registry is totally reasonable. Yes, there are the crazy items, most of which you highlighted in your article, like the Tiffany straw. But a lot of this looks like my registry, which was (like this) a bunch of kitchen stuff from Sur la Table and Williams and Sonoma.

Just because she said she had a c-section scheduled doesn’t mean she did. I figured all along it was a fake pregnancy. She’s 49. There’s been no mention of IVF or any assisted reproductive techniques, and chances are tiny that she got pregnant on her own at that age.

Literature isn’t generally this self-centered, or if it is, not in such an obvious way. I get (at least I think I do) that she is trying to make this about something larger, but at it’s core, it’s an intensely personal and traumatic experience that she is making into an art piece. I don’t get most of it though. I do…

How about to be against rape but still think she needs some serious therapy?

Not to defend this guy AT ALL – but I don’t know if he’s ignoring historical context or if he’s just completely uneducated about it. I grew up in a small town in western Kansas. While I did learn a little about the civil rights movement in high school, I didn’t learn much, and most of my education on the history of…

I’m glad he apologized because my husband knows Heidi and I’ve met her a couple of times, and she is just the nicest person. It really bummed me out to read all the headlines about her yesterday.

Oops!! Turns out it wasn’t a faux pas. Turns out the bride was in on it. Turns out Jezebel might want to update this story.,

I got married 5 years ago. The weird family stuff that came up then was kept from me on my wedding day, and I actually wish they would have told me about it, because while my mom was pleading with her sister to come to my wedding despite the fact that I had also invited her sister-in-law, who she’d been in some stupid…

Being upset because someone wore white and being upset because your parents stole your credit cards and maxed them out are entirely different ends of the spectrum in my book.

Well, it turns out the proposal was the bride’s idea:

I think this is a wise way to look at marriage. I had completely unrealistic expectations of relationships through my 20s and 30s. Once I finally wised up and stopped setting ridiculous standards, I met my husband. We got engaged after 6 weeks of dating. The proposal wasn’t necessarily romantic by some standards, but…

I think you misinterpreted my comment. I think it’s ridiculous that 173 people are rejoicing at someone ruining someone’s dress. I agree with you. I said that Emily Post said it’s fine to wear white to a wedding and that I personally didn’t care what color people wore to mine. I was pointing out that it was totally…

The bigger problem here is that it’s incredibly unsafe for the children. Car seat experts recommend that parents purchased tickets for their infants and install a car seat so the babies don’t become projectiles during turbulence.

I know it’s expensive to buy a ticket for a baby. Trust me, I know: I have twins, and it’s even more expensive to buy tickets for 2 babies. But your baby is so, so much safer in their own seat and safely buckled in than in your lap, or on the floor, or anywhere on the plane. It’s strongly recommended by car seat…

The thing is, though many people seem to feel it’s wrong to wear white to a wedding, it actually is just fine according to Emily Post and most etiquette guides. So I wouldn’t see someone wearing white as an intentional slight. But I do agree that someone doing something to intentionally upset you is different than…

I guess I was just really zen about my wedding. I knew that I had set things up the way we wanted them, but on the big day, I would just have to accept that some things would go wrong and they would just (hopefully) give us something to laugh about later. Perfect can’t be orchestrated. Or maybe it can, but that just…

I’ve been a bride. I paid attention to the details and wanted a lot of things to be a certain way, but I also knew that everything wouldn’t be perfect and I accepted that. The only time I cried was when I said my vows and those were happy tears.

A lot of people think that only the bride should wear white (as evidenced by the fact that, as of this writing, 173 people have starred the post about the bride crying because a guest wore white and rejoicing when the uncle intentionally doused the offending guest with red wine). Emily Post says it’s okay, and I…
