Lauren, you’ve gotten a lot of bullshit from people telling you what you should have done or could have done, and you’ll get more. But I want to say that my heart hurts for you, and you’ll get no judgement here. Full disclosure: I have no kids, one husband and a pretty sociable dog, so I don’t know what others are…

We had a vaguely travel themed wedding, so we wanted the signpost to reflect places we’ve lived. We didn’t want the figures to be lame, so we mined the boxes at mom and dad’s.

Since ilikechips has already "covered" how needlessly aggressive you are, I'll address your previous answer in which you "covered" the answer to your original question. The reasoning behind wearing the wedding ring on the left hand in the US and other countries may very well be because of the "vein of love", but are…

Maybe they are German?

Say Hola to Alexis Sanchez from Chile. Total stud bucket.

It's worth a try, you never know. Christmas wasn't all that long ago, and certainly not long enough for normal wear and tear on a new sweater. Did you pay with a credit or debit card? You might be able to show that as proof of purchase, or maybe they can see it in their system. They collect all sorts of data, you…

Yeah, this includes alcohol and appetizers during cocktails. This is an estimate, because we never know how much people will drink, so we might even do drink tickets to have a better idea what the cost will be. It will be worth it for a fun party, but when it's just numbers in an excel sheet, it kind of makes me…

Yes, that's true, and no one should begrudge a friend or family member who can't afford it. My "special day" is not everyone else's special day, and attendance should never be taken as an indication of how much people love the bride or groom. But the point is that if you choose to max out your credit card to go,…

Seriously, I'm having weekly freakouts about the ridiculous cost of wedding crap. It's going to cost about $100 per person to feed our guests, which makes me barf a little bit. Frankly, it's kind of a relief to know that 20% of invited guests usually say no. We want to keep things simple, and we are mostly (no…

I disagree. I think she was saying that if you choose to go because you love the bride and/or groom, then spending money might hurt, but it won't make you bitter. I flew from Chile to San Diego for a friend's wedding, and it cost me a LOT. It didn't bother me too much, because I chose to do it. Did it bother me…

Isn't it the worst? You're faaaar away from someone's family and friends, no matter where you are. My fiance is Chilean, and I'm from the US. We're living in Chile, but having our wedding in the US in September. I know a lot of his family and friends can't come, and I don't begrudge them one ounce. We are going…

That's how I read it. No, Rayon would not have been "dragged up", but Leto is not Rayon; he played her in a movie. If Leto had said "I thought about going as a trans woman", everyone would have flipped out because he's not a trans woman. In essence, he thought about going in character, and maybe that's what he…
