CREAM cheese. At least in New York, it is.

Yeah, to be fair, I CAN and have and do enjoy from time to time speaking to him for hours. That being said, I'm one of those weird outgoing introverts who really needs serious recharge alone time, and is fine doing so in the company of others.

Unfortunately, I bet there are a lot of women at U of A who probably agree with him. Looks like he even has a girlfriend. :(

I wondered for a very quick second if it means I actually don't love my husband because sometimes (often) I would rather put the radio on than talk for HOURS. I don't like talking to anyone for hours. I was with Polly until I read that.

I assumed prawn because of the Asian population, not because they're fancy.

I was one of the stone-hearted wenches who thought the drawings were WAY too ridiculous and over the top and honestly not that cute, but I was willing to concede that I was just being a grump. This detail pushed me over the edge. I don't like this wedding. (I know, I know. Thank GOD I wasn't invited.....)

Ummmm, Carolina is not Spanish. She is Venezuelan, and quite loud & proud about it.

Oddly enough, I've thought the same thing! It was so fucking vile the memory of it makes me dry heave in my cubicle.

Turns out, balut is moderately edible. Hakarl was NOT. Not not not not not not not. My eyes are tearing again just thinking about it. Does it count if I ingested it but did not digest (it came right back up)?

I agree, and a colorful tie wouldn't kill him. But the suit is fine!

Yeah, what?! This is a nice summer suit. He looks good? Right?

My husband is Catalan and I'm taking full advantage or this whole "visiting family" necessity. I successfully tracked down Angelina in Ho Chi Minh City back in '07 so I have full confidence that I'll be victorious this time. Re-reading that, I sound reeeeeally creepy, but I swear these are isolated incidents......

Oh, absolutely. Ugh. You are right! I'm living in Barcelona for the fall so I'll probably try to stalk them a little nonetheless, for the eye candy aspect.

Ugh, I know. Iknowiknowiknow. The whole "I can't do sexy videos because he says no! And I like it that way!" thing definitely makes me cringe. And it definitely plays into Spanish/Latino stereotypes. His youth also makes me think that he's kinda hotheaded for making such declarations.

I agree with everything you said, and maybe I'm being a little choose-your-own-adventurey over here, but I find that the traditional vows, altogether, are intended to convey a bigger picture. After listening to all those declarations, you get the idea (hopefully) that, "wow, this is real, this is big, and those people…

Nobody else obsessing over Shakira and Pique's upcoming bundle of joy? Just me? OK, back to Euro tabloids I go....

Mmmmmmm Rosewater. Now I want Persian ice cream.

Well, at least the weather in the northeast US has been absolutely perfect. So not all is lost.

Luckily, they weren't. We would have known because aside from hearing about it, I'm sure we would have been slapped with a big, fat lawsuit. So, phew for everyone involved! Mostly for my mother's soul, as she had such an evil Grinch grin when she got the phone call. I loved your perfect WASP joke, but I had to make it…

My parents are Hamptons townies and rent their house every summer to city people to make a pretty penny. A couple of summers ago, a giant hornet nest that was accumulating in the living room ceiling broke through the sheetrock and flooded one of the renters' fancy parties with hundreds of angry hornets. Not so funny…
