I look more rad than Lutheranism

I was at a wedding once where the bride did the bouquet toss. A space wide enough to drive a humvee through opened along its trajectory.

HA! At the same wedding, we had a similar incident. There were four of us who were single. When the bouquet came towards us, we all took a step back. It landed on the ground. N retossed it. Same thing. Finally, one of my fellow bridesmaids picked it up to hand back to the bride and we were all like, "Nope! You touched it. You're it."

At my college roommate's wedding, I caught the bouquet because it was sort of batted away by the other women, and I'm a softball player, damn it -- I can't *not* catch a projectile coming at me.

But then I threw it right back to the bride. Seriously.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

My friend J and I both wanted the bouquet at our our friends K&L's wedding. Not so much because we wanted to be the next to get married, but because neither of us wanted the other one to get it.

We both dove for it. My head bounced off the hardwood dance floor and she stomped on my arm with her boots. I pulled her back by her dress but she ended up with it anyway.

I got married before she did. Ha!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

All the oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipes I am looking at call for shortening. Is this normal? I don't think I've ever purchased shortening.

I never get up for the bouquet toss. I can't remember being at a wedding where people wanted to catch it, kinda makes you wonder why anyone does it anymore.

ION, it is not yet 6.

I've seen a lot of cookie recipes that call for shortening. I usually substitute butter. This can affect texture and taste, however. I think it affects taste for the better, but then I think dairy fat improves many things.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I think my twin sister stiff armed an 11 year old girl to catch the bouquet at my wedding.

Her marriage lasted 7 months.
