Jessica, did you like being a barista?
Bar maid! Bring me stronger ale! And some plump, succulent babies to eat!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

And anyway, I thought it was only bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding.
Apparently it's bad luck to know the bride before the wedding.
My wedding was very small and my sister was my only attendant, because she would have been pissed off if I had chosen anyone else. I know what my friends were doing the day of the wedding, though. They were stealing greenery to decorate the chapel.
I have a new great-nephew.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I'm just trying to figure out how the bride managed to take the tradition that brides and grooms aren't supposed to see each other before the wedding and managed to extrapolate it to the entire wedding party.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I loved it, Aim. NSM the waking up at 4:30 am to go to work part, but I had great customers, and I was the motherfucking QUEEN of working the bar. And for a college student, the pay was pretty good (plus, free coffee).

The funny thing is, SHE'LL SEE THE GROOM BEFORE THE WEDDING!!! We're doing pictures at the reception site before the actual wedding. Everyone. So maybe she's trying to make up for it. I don't know.

I'm thinking about a second job (not for the wedding, for the hell that is our finances right now) and I thought maybe Starbucks would be fun.

Compassionately intolerant
I'm still boggling over the bride's "I'd feel left out" statement. Jeesh. How much more 'your day' does it have to be before you can let other people turn their adoring gazes away from you long enough to share snacks?

You could probably make more money doing something office-related, but barista work is fun, and the hours (at least at my store) were pretty flexible. The pay when I worked there was about $8-9/hour.

Art Crawl!!!
I'm thinking about MFNLaw's friend who is going to a Stones concert instead of her wedding.. . I think for this wedding I would skip it to see the neighbors' kids piano recital.
