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).

I have a new great-nephew.

Neat!

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.

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.

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.

Yeah, this bride sounds like a she-bitch from hell. I mean, I've only read the last fifty posts because I'm a skipper, but that's how it goes.

The above comment does not give you right to say "Ahoy!" to me. Or make Gilligan's Island references of any kind.

I now go check my mail because, hopefully, Once and Again Season 2 discs are there!

It's not being supported by a man, so much as being supported by your spouse. Which has no inherent evil to it -- you did marry the guy, after all.

Yes, this. I don't consider the word "support" to be derogatory. Nor do I want to martyr myself over the year I spent working third shift at a craft magazine sweatshop for $6/hour, paying our rent & car payment while DH finished up his last year of college.

I think it's always great when a couple can work out a situation that is mutually beneficial and makes their lives easier. We always had it rougher when we were both working full time and coming home too tired to clean or get anything done around the house and we always felt like we were shortchanging each other.

Just when I think things can't get more wedding-zilla, Aimee has another story.

Jebus Dawg what a self-absorbed twit. I'm sorry, I can't be more generous at this point.

I like my drama on the movie or teevee screen, thanks.
