I swear I just posted here about cheese. Did it like, end up in Technology or something?
Who moved your cheese?
I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Many years ago, the reception for my cousin's wedding had garter tossing and bouquet tossing and cake smashing. I doubt I'd know the Electric Slide if I saw it, but the Chicken Dance definitely occurred.
I've been to six receptions as an adult, and haven't seen any of those things again. Although, thinking about it, only two of those weddings were performed in churches, so I suppose it's a fairly nontraditional group of people.
Also: oatmeal and peanuts are gross in any form or combination. Raisins are okay by themselves, though. For the record.
Allyson, what are you detoxing from, and why, and how? I have the strong impression that I missed something.

No, it was here. You crave an omelet as a cheese conveyance.

I have been to more than one wedding that had both bouquet and garter toss, but no garter putting on. I was a wee horrified when I saw it the first time.
sara, no, I understand. I am just trying to be encouraging. A week without cheese is hard, but good for the bod.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
At my aunts' wedding (which was in my uncle's backyard), there was a carefully pre-selected mix of songs that was TOTALLY THWARTED when someone pullled out a "Favorite Group Dances" or something CD. A group of like 8 of us did the Chicken Dance, the Electric Slide, the Cha-Cha Step or whatever, on and on, with lessons from a 12 year-old when necessary. It was hilarious.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Even worse than the garter toss itself -- when he who catches the garter has to put it on she who catches the bouquet. IOW, follow up "The groom is removing the bride's underwear," which at least has the feeble justification that they're married to each other, with "And now a man is putting underwear on a woman who may be a complete stranger."
The last wedding I was at a 75 year old Italian widow caught the bouquet and then her son caught the garter! Although it sounds sick, it actually ended up being quite funny.

OK, here's a dilemma: Someone I don't like very much asked me for professional advice, and offered to take me to lunch. Should I do it? Or just talk to her on the phone, which will likely be a shorter conversation. But, free food!

It was fun, and the aunts really didn't care.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Take the lunch, Jesse.
Most of the Jamaican-influenced weddings I've been to involved happy jolly bumping and grinding on the dancefloor, so the garter thing was hardly isolated in tone, and by the time all was said and done, less raunchy that some of the less ritualised stuff going on.
