I know I shouldn't, but it's too tempting.. I'm sure it will be a nice day in the end, I'll just have a fancy dinner with my friends afterwards.

I love that idea :)

That is the idea, but apparently no one else is bringing any cake or sweets and she thought it would be a shame if not all the guests could have some. Or something.

This is the response I was hoping to get from my friends! It is tacky, and now it seems like the weather is not going to be that great. She said she asked a bar on the beach if we can have our lunch on their terrace in case it rains. (For free.) GREAT.

Exactly. I completely understand that some people don't have a lot of money to spend on entertaining their guests, but if you literally refuse to spend anything at all, then don't have a fucking wedding! (that big group hippie wedding does sound like fun btw)

Perfect! I think I'll just add a bottle of wine and keep that all to myself..

So, a good friend is getting married in a couple of days. It's a small wedding, around 40 guests, on the beach. All very sweet. I was a bit surprised when I got the invitation and it said that the whole thing thing is going to be from 11.30 until 17.30. Okay, guess she doesn't want to spend money on dinner and a…

I'm sorry about your cousin. She sure did have a wonderful sense of imagination!

That is the sweetest story ever! Now if you'd only married the older brother later on it would have been perfect :)

I love this story! When I was little me and my sister used to walk to school together, and at the end of our street lived an old lady with two Siamese cats. They would always be waiting for us, sitting next to each other on her fence, and proceed to walk us to school. They always reminded me of the Siamese cats from…

When visiting family in South Africa years ago, I was about 15, we went to an ostrich farm. It was quite a lonely, uncanny place that I remember as just a dry field with fences in which a couple of ostriches were chilling out. One of the farmers asked if anyone wanted to ride one of the ostriches. Yes. Being 15 and…

I was actually coming in to suggest this! Artemisia Gentileschi is FABULOUS. When I was an art history student & budding feminist I was obsessed by her (something most female art history students probably have been at some point, so not that original...)

Someone on the internet made this. It's terrifying.

God, I hated Dean SO MUCH.

I've been in bed sick with stomach flu (and recovering from a bad breakup) these past few days, and I've rewatched the entire thing... Colin Firth is my one and only. Especially on a horse while wearing tight white pants. I will never find a man who comes close.

Oh God. I have a multitude of awkward experiences, like the time I thought I was doing something really hot and acrobatic (which had always worked on the other guy I was fucking at the time) and this dude cried out in pain, looked at me like I was insane and said: "It doesn't bend backwards, you know!" The time my…

Yes, and also "J'ai créa une monstre,", I think...

I didn't get half of what was being said, but OH MON DIEU HOW BEAUTIFUL.

AC mentions it in a documentary on Jane Austen that is also narrated by her. it's on youtube!

Love love love her. She's actually related to Jane Austen!
