Bonus points for using "rake," "deign," and "callow" all in the same paragraph, Pinkham. Even more bonus points for spelling "deign" correctly. It's a good day for word nerds around these parts.

This is certainly better than all those eateries dressing up in 'slutty restaurant' costumes. Serving food with your kitchen hanging out is just demeaning and unsanitary.

I lost it when the guy started licking on that big ice cube.

That was great - especially them "foraging" morning glories, which are poisonous. "Look, I went to cooking school, too!"

We're not taught that in business school- very few people see sustainable as a good thing- they see it as resting on their laurels. They teach us that infinite growth is a good thing, along with continuous improvement, neither of which actually exist in the real world. Most students were greedy and lazy dudebros that…

How is black tie obnoxious? Its obnoxious if its at the local Holiday Inn, but not if you are a high-end ballroom. I was invited (and attended) a black tie wedding in NYC at the Pierre. I think the going rate with service fees added is like $400+ per plate. If someone is going to spend that much money on my free…

But it's sort of weird to get mad at someone for throwing a party you don't want to go to. If it would be a strain on your time or finances, just don't go.

Why is it obnoxious to want to have a nice party and get dressed up on the day you're getting married? Unless you're my dad, you're not obligated to come. I don't see why people get so bent out of shape about putting on a suit. It's a suit, not Borat's swimsuit. Jeez.

I beg to differ- I think it's ridiculous that couples are pressured into doing shit they don't want just for their guests. I got tired of the requests and pressure, so we eloped instead- and it was AWESOME. I don't give a shit what other people wanted on my wedding day- I wanted something simple and stress-free, and I…

If your wedding is at the Ritz Carlton or the like, black tie makes sense and anything else would look strange.

Well I am SOL. What is the vegetarian equivalent? Or should I just dump my incredibly sweet, kind, responsible, feminist guy so I can snare a carnivore with chicken?

You are approaching this with a degree of level-headedness that is antithetical engagement season. Y U H8 LUV?

It'll be my new completely unique recipe, Desperately Trying To Prevent Divorce Chicken! You'll never guess the secret ingredient!

Wait, you would cook an entire chicken just for the purpose of sustenance?!?!?

As any science gal would tell you, this bullshit suffers from serious selection bias. If you're in the kind of relationship where you are cooking semi-elaborate meals for your SO, and own the resources to prepare and serve this kind of meal, you are already part of a narrow demographic that is likely about to get…

Yeah, 23 years ago. Also I find people brag who about how little they spent on their wedding as annoying as people who brag about how extravagant they were. Just because you spent less than someone else doesn't make your marriage more meaningful.

Partly why we are having a wedding in a major city (that I am from - so it's not random) is because it's much more convenient for all our traveling guests. They don't have to rent cars because there is public transit to and from the airport and venue. Furthermore, a lot of guests have friends or family they can stay…

Yeah, I want to know if they looked at income vs. money spent vs. debt. My SO and I are having a pretty non-extravagant wedding and it costs more than $10,000 because we are doing it in a major city. We could probably have done the same wedding for a lot less if we were from some other place.
