eh. For a lot of people, weddings are about family, which includes the children. There were 40 kids, I think 12 of which were under two, and four dogs at my wedding. All of them behaved. Some fussed, some barked, but we absolutely wanted them there.

Also, I was 38 when we got married at a venue that was about an…

My husband is a dj and only generally does weddings for friends, so I'm almost always there too. I can't remember the last time we actually danced together at a wedding, since he's almost always behind his decks.

The morning of my wedding, I had to dis-invite a skunk. At some point during set up, he appeared. He was found hanging out under the tables, seemingly wanting to stay. My parents grabbed the dogs, and everyone nervously stood around looking for the skunk.

My husband is a dj, so needless to say, we had no music fuckups at our wedding.

I was really jealous of my younger sister who got to be a flower girl at a wedding where I wasn't even in the ceremony. So for my wedding, I invited any kid that wanted (there were about 15 of flower child age) to be a flower child to throw petals down the aisle. I didn't see it, but apparently it was wonderful…

We were JUST looking at the 1986 pictures of my aunt's wedding. My sister was the flower girl, and she saved the wedding. The entire LONG sermon, she kept tugging at her pantyhose. She entertained everyone while my poor aunt and uncle had to stand at attention to the priest.

My dress was blue. My "veil" was ribbons. God never came up.

My sister's wedding pictures are from their iphone. Her husband set up a go-pro on the bar. They are very happy with the pictures. It's totally a priority thing.

Fucking Seattle hipsters.

I'm so glad we lived in different cities. Our second to last contact was when he called me to suggest I get checked out for Chlamydia. Our last contact was when he called me without leaving a message. I'd deleted all of his information from my phone, and I called him back thinking that he was some work thing. Very…

Also, the thing about Dan Patrick in particular is that the senate is the LAST place where the Dems have any sort of power in the state. There has been a 2/3 rule in place to bring legislation forward. And there are 11 Dems in the 31 member senate, which means the Dems could block really heinous legislation in regular…

I say, see how it's a dart board? I'm in the middle.

Gerrymandering has absolutely nothing to do with the Lt. Guv race. Voter turnout does.

Me too! It was one of my best vacation experiences ever, and on the second day, I met this wonderful girl with whom I spent the day, exchanging life stories and getting lost around the city. She and I had both been on the road for awhile at that point and we both needed someone to talk to. It was like a straight…

A decade or so ago, a friend of mine took me to dinner to ask me if I'd be willing to go to Hawaii with him for his corporate bank employee appreciation event. He and his boyfriend had broken up a few days before, and he didn't feel like finding a date to take on, what was for him, a weekend long work event. Three…

Graham and 'stina met at Burning Man, eyeing each other for four days. On Thursday, in the middle of the a white out, he jumped off his cart car and on to hers, kissed her, and four months later, he and his cat moved from LA to Houston to live with her and her dogs. Four years later, they figured it was going to…

I challenged some friends of mine to a dance off at their wedding. The bride ran away, but the groom encouraged my making-a-fool-of-myself-ness.
