I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Statistically, a couple won't go have a rollicking time in bed, after the wedding?

I read somewhere that wedding night sex is not the norm. My best friend said she was just too tired to bother, and besids, she'd had sex with him for years beforehand.

I really want to make out with someone now.

Yeah, me too.

try to give notice 3 weeks in advance if you can

Three weeks?! They're getting two. And they'll be glad of it, or I may decide it needs to be effective immediately.

Aw, come on. At least laugh in their faces when they offer you more money to stay.

They probably won't. And I'd like my last laugh to be finding a new job with better pay and less stress. It's a crappy revenge that leaves me unemployed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And seriously, if I couldn't bring myself to grab someone random to make out with at 2am in a bar in a foreign country, what are my odds at 2pm in my own neighborhood?

What is even happening?

Yeah, I've heard that, too. By the end of the reception, people are tired/drunk/cranky from deal with families/whatever.

I can see that, I guess. I never though about it being a thing people surveyed.

I think the key might be to drink early (if you drink at all), then switch to soda. I accidentally had one glass more of champagne than I should have, while we were having our photos taken. I wasn't drunk to the naked eye when we entered the reception, but I was feeling no pain, so I switched to Diet Coke. I was tired, but I wasn't *that* tired. I wasn't cranky (marvel). It was our honeymoon. I never got *that* tired 'til I had babies.

Imagine having to wade through all of the Jennifers in town to find the one you are looking for.

I don't have to! In my dad's hometown, with a dominant immigrant swede population, our lastname? Took up half the phone book. I'm not kidding.

My grandma's next door neighbor for the last 20 years of her life had the same fname lname as my dad. Only one (out of 2) middle initials was different. Oh yeah, and he and my dad were in school together. Along with 3 others sharing their same fname lname. Which is why I curse the uncreative swedes way back when. And maybe in the 40s.

Two is fine. In fact, I think it's standard. I wouldn't do less than two if I could help it.

I only mentioned the three because my mother was in Human Resources, and that's what she always recommended. I know that in part, dh got his job, because when the interviewer asked him when he could start, he said he'd like to give his then-current employer three weeks, if at all possible. They told him after that helped sell them on him, because it showed loyalty.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

I'll just say that it was convenient that we got married in the sitting room of the inn that our room was in. And that is all.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

At a wedding I was at a few years ago, we had been talking about the no-sex thing beforehand, and so we all got to witness the moment when the new bride said, "Yeah, no. Not happening tonight." (She was ready to go to bed, he was ready to hang out with his family for another couple of hours.) Not that we followed up with her after.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Or, "Hey! I do know how to quit you!"

I really like this.

I think the making out thing is catching.

Statistically, a couple won't go have a rollicking time in bed, after the wedding?

Yeah, I've heard that, too. By the end of the reception, people are tired/drunk/cranky from deal with families/whatever.

I know at least 2 couples that had a quicky in the limo on the way to the reception, just in case this happened.

Also?

Allyson you can have an omelette with peppers and onions.

As someone who would kill anyone standing between me and the consumption of cheese, you are SO SO missing the point...
