I'm sure I would still enjoy it, the remembering she had died thing just crept back in and made me sad again.

It keeps coming up on Netflix as something I would enjoy, but I forgot that Natasha Richardson was gone. I don't know if I can watch it still.

My husband uses two tissues at a time to blow his nose once. I carry around one tissue in my pocket all day and use it a dozen times to wipe my nose. My only two complaints are that he somehow frequently misses the tissues and gets snot on his shirt and that he creates tissue mountains in various places while

You could basically be me in the future. I want three kids, my husband wants two, we're not even trying for number one yet.

The drinking often corresponds to whenever the parade is, assuming the city has one. I know Chicago's was today and in my college town it was last Saturday (thanks facebook). Assuming that's why he was drunk this morning, it's less concerning.

No one asked why they were which number. Our list was in the order it was received. His parents, us, my dad/me writing it for him. And then added people because his parents are way too social.

I guess it's just one of those things that people don't think about, like putting how many are coming. We wrote ___/4 or how ever many people on each card to make it really obvious that they needed to put a number there. Some still didn't.

That's great! We used a spreadsheet to track all of that. Stuff came in the mail in the months before the wedding from our registry, so we didn't have a day of opening everything. There isn't enough room in our apartment to store all the unopened boxes.

We used the corresponding numbers from the Excel sheet where we tracked everything. It's an idea that only helps if you fully commit to it.

Not a disaster story, but a tip for any of you who might be mailing out invitations at some point: Assign each household a number and put it on the back of the RSVP card. Some people don't remember to put their own names on the card, or the names are illegible. It also gives you a simple way to sort them so you can

That's what I said. The friend she originally wanted to bring was someone my husband and I were both friends with in college, where we all met. He and I had a very flirty friendship and he and my husband were in a small musical group together. Neither of us had really stayed in touch with him on purpose. I was so

We have a box of them. We ordered something like 75-100 of them and gave away 25. We'll have them forever.

We have meal time prayer books that were supposed to be given to every guest, that were somehow never distributed. So many books.

I had fun with this for my wedding. When we sent out the save-the-dates, two of our friends were dating, so we sent one to the pair of them. By the time we sent out invitations they had broken up and he had a new girlfriend. So we sent him an invitation with a +1 and her a single invitation (no crap about all

I'm in the bridal party for a wedding with the bachelorette party in NYC this spring too. Yay? Our plan seems to be getting our nails done while eating from our favorite neighborhood restaurants, carriage ride in Central Park, then a bar. It'll be fun, but I wish I was going to do laser tag or paintball with the

When I was around five or so I started telling everyone that I was allergic to pineapple so no one would make me try it. As far as I can remember, I had never eaten pineapple before, but I refused to try it. Hence the lie that I was allergic to it. Two summers ago I tried pineapple for the first time as an adult.

I'm sorry for your loss. Like so many other people, I missed out on my last chance to see my grandmother too. Both of them really, since I didn't see one of them for the last 12ish years of her life. Weather happens, and in the winter that makes travel terrible.

My in-laws got some oddly shaped, ugly vase for their wedding 30 years ago. When her mother died last year and they cleaned out the house, that vase finally actually made it into their house.

I just lost my last living grandparent at 32. One of my grandmothers and one of my husband's grandmothers were at our wedding. Granted, women in my family often live for a really long time. When I was born I had three living great-grandmothers and all four grandparents. Now I have one great-grandmother left, she's

These were my amazing wedding shoes. I loved them, but my feet didn't. I don't wear heels regularly and didn't wear these around to get used to them before the wedding. Silly, I know. I made it through the photos just fine, but by the end of the ceremony I could no longer feel my feet. I kicked them off in the
