My friend had one of the black Vera Wang dresses from Fall 2012. Non-white wedding dresses rule. I bet your wife looked awesome.

My wife picked out chocolate brown suits for the groomsmen (and bride-man). To go with the suits she picked out chocolate bow ties, because bow ties are cool. Thinking that someone might forget such a small item my brother thoughtfully ordered an extra. Well it turns out that no one forgot a single bow tie, however my…

Ugh so many things. I loved everything about my wedding (it was super chill, super laid back, super on-the-cheap, and super Mexican (tacos for everyone!)) except for my dress. I dunno I think I was so stuck on *not* being a brideszilla that I ended up not worrying at all about things I probably should have cared…

I'm posting this for my wife. We aren't super rich, but we decided to go all out for the wedding. we'd had a rough few years with deaths in the family and we needed a good event for everyone to go to. That was our wedding. It lived up to the hype, but the dress was the sacrifice we threw into the volcano in order to…

This wasn't really a disaster, but it was kind of funny.

One time I spilled an entire thing of red pepper aioli down the front of a mostly-white (non-wedding) dress. I got home and since it was a dress I couldn't easily get out of by myself, tried to fix myself a vodka tonic to relax. I then spilled that whole thing down the front of my dress.

On The Wedding Day of My Dear Sister, her new father-in-law lurched forward in an affectionate and drunken manner to tell her how beautiful she looked. The lurching was done with a pint of Guinness in his hand, which of course ended up all over the front of my sister's gown. She was fuuurious until she reached a…

Thankfully this was *before* I got ready, but it was humiliating. I was a ball of nerves on my wedding day (aren't we all?) and had only coffee in my system during my hair appointment. One of my bridesmaids drove with me to my parents' house where I was getting ready, and I let one slip. Only it wasn't just a cute…

When I arrived at the church, my soon to be father in law hugged me. His cigarette set my beautiful finger length double veil on fire. My soon to be mother in law gracefully and completely without a fuss, put out the fire, removed the charred edges, hid the damage, hugged me tight, and sent me into the church. 26…

Hm, well, as my husband waited to enter the church because the ceremony was starting a friend showed up late with an open can of root beer. He excitedly ran up and hugged him and spilled his root beer all over my soon-to-be husband's tux. Luckily it was black and not super noticeable. He's lucky though I was so hopped…

The relative ease is something that a lot of people with the time, money, and inclination to cook seem to forget in all this. When you've worked a 12 hour shift and just want to get home to your kids, swinging by and picking up mcdonalds or a box of mac n cheese is always easier and guaranteed not to cause a fight. …

I have so many issues with the way this is reported.

we're on the same side, but I think it's tiresome to keep asking the non-Christians and the atheists to behave super extra civilly, when the Christianists dominate every part of government and trample over everyone. Sometimes you need to make a point by using louder means - see the rioting in Ferguson. Being extra…

Ah, yes, the constant "Real men don't..." which on the surface seems like a good thing, saying men shouldn't "..." but the thing is yeah, it's real men doing these things. They're not figments of imagination. Don't try to distant yourselves from what men do by saying they're not 'real'. Put your consternation onto…

I think she knows damn well how little alcohol is in the dish, it was just her opportunity to humblebrag about being pregnant

I was just about to nominate Jenny for having her own column of vegan inspired stories. I can only imagine what other gems she must have! personally, i want to hear more about these brain parasites.

The takeaway I got from this was "don't be a dick." That is pretty much my motto for all life, ever.

The searches aren't creative because they are likely from those who are buying costumes opposed to those that make them. Here's some creativity for you. I spent a year sourcing material like dolls from thrift stores that I cut apart, hand painted, and sewed to a corset that was tea dyed and embelished with lace. I…

Yeah, I'd rather hang out with my family and play board games. And Black Friday is all about Law & Order: SVU marathons. I don't want to be part of the spectacle.

Her ideal man has a chick's hand for a penis? That's very telling.
