I opted out because our wedding was quite small (40 people) and it just seemed kind of silly. I had my best friend stand up with me as my maid of honor but I let her wear whatever she wanted. No regrets!

I can't remember, but it was exceptionally expensive compared to how popular the team is.

My little brother and his wife originally wanted to get married AT Nat's Stadium in DC. It costs an unbelievable amount so they had to nix that but they did have a baseball cake topper (the bride pitching a ball and the groom holding a bat), and homemade W cookies. It was cute.

Personally I was ecstatic after my wedding. No more wedding to plan! No more stress, no more family conflict, no more crazy expenses. I felt like a huge weight was gone, PLUS I was married now!

I made the same "mistake" which I still don't think was a mistake. I think maybe 10 people actually followed the rsvp instructions.
Why ticking a box on a website is more of a pain then actually mailing something, I'll never know.

I had my own Reader's Digest subscription too! I thought I was the only weirdo.

I had that same weird temporary deafness when my now-husband proposed too. Didn't hear a word he said. I bet it was all super nice too!

Right? The last thing I want to do is fall over AT MY WEDDING b/c I'm teetering on heels. I just wanted to be comfortable so I could dance.

Gorgeous! I also wear flats pretty much exclusively and my wedding was no different. Those salespeople sound like jerks! Luckily nobody gave me a hard time because I just went to DSW and picked some out by myself.

I LOVED Blink 182. I also made my Dad drive me and a freind to a Blink 182 show when I was maybe 15 (we made him get a lawn ticket so he wouldn't be anywhere near us- what brats). I remember being kind of ashamed that he actually enjoyed the music.

Non-disclosed too which is... not illegal but not exactly great. At the very least it looks incredibly tasteless.

Did you guys get paid to put that TravelZoo link in the first sentence? Because it really, really looks sponsored.

What about Se7en? That cray shit rockets to the top of my list. Gwenyth's head in a box!

I had a exchange like this recently through my work email so I believe it. My work requires me to email with members of the public and a completely innocuous back and forth with a young man quickly devolved into "let me tell you about my penis..."
I don't understand WHY this happens, But for sure it does. Ick.

I've lived abroad in China, Mexico and Argentina, and tampons are really hard to come by outside of the US And Europe. Pads are significantly more popular in the rest of the world I guess. Since they are imported they are always absurdly expensive but this is pretty crazy.

My husband is from New Jersey and next summer we finally get to attend one of those "lavish New Jersey weddings" and I am so excited! It's going to be just like the movies.

This was one of those books that I read at way too young (12 maybe?) and therefore will never ever forget. This book had everything: Self-mutilating cult members! Telekinetic artificial insemination! Siamese Twin lobotomies!

I think this is so nice! I met my husband on Twitter though so I may be biased.

I had the opposite experience where planning the wedding was super hard and stressful on our relationship so the first year of marriage seemed like a cakewalk after that. But I'm sure the really fucking hard stuff is just waiting for us down the line.

So I have this theory it's not that all mother in laws are monsters, it's just that the act of having inlaws at all is so weird and foreign that nobody knows how to cope. It's just WEIRD to have this new family/notyourfamily that you have to respect and work with and make important decisions with.
