It doesn't matter where you go. Because there will be Australians there. Find the Australians.

Butts over dongs any day

Also it just really bugs me when people think giving money for a wedding means they can dictate its use. It's a gift, not an investment.

As far as the plates go, here are a couple ideas:

Good! You picked out the menu so you might as well enjoy it! If you are having a cocktail hour after your ceremony, a good idea is to tell the caterer before the event what appetizers you want them to bring to you immediately after the ceremony. Then they will be waiting for you as you take photos/do a receiving…

Exactly! Those are my favorite - the intimate ones where the bride and groom are themselves and everyone is just happy to be there and share the day.

lol I work at a wedding venue

I tell all my brides who get crap from people about their choices two things: Your love is the centerpiece of the day, not the food or the DJ; and guests are there to celebrate your marriage, not to be entertained by you.

WHO SHOWED ALL THE BASICS HOW TO USE THE INTERNETS?

I came home early from work sick. Walked in on my boyfriend and some blonde in the act. In our bed. I closed the door quietly, then started throwing everything he owned over them balcony and into the pool. His iPod, cell phone, x box, top shelf booze, whatever. Then he came out of the bedroom and tried to apologize…

I gotta say, 50 is out of my personal comfort level for childbearing, but FUCK. At what precise age, income level, career choice, relationship status, and hair color is it ok for women to actually have a baby in this society without every goddamn person passing judgement?

Does anybody else find their desire to cohabitate is seriously influenced by an uninvited, roaring, incessant biological clock?

Thanks! My post-breakup diet of gin and breakfast burritos really helped put it all in perspective.

Yeah, we have since tracked him down. Most of his friends disowned him. They kept me, though. I even took a couple of them on my honeymoon, along with my bridesmaids, since it was all nonrefundable.

returning the ring would have been a challenge, since my fiancé left me (and his whole life behind) in a NOTE, stole enough money from his boss to fly across the country, and changed his name, phone, and email. He stuck me with all his things and all our bills. His friends raised money so I could pay for everything.…

I dated an idiot. Then I let him try to teach me how to snowboard.

This! I'm a wedding vendor and I thought the same thing. I've worked gay weddings where the photographers had never dealt with two brides or two grooms before, and it's a strange new world for them. There are a lot of questions about staging and placement that an experienced gay wedding photographer would know to ask.…

Thank you thank you for this post.

Beardy Gyllenhal wins every time. Gimme that grimy sweatshirt. I don't care.
