Spike's Bitches 35: We Got a History  

[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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

We didn't elope because it was important to me that our wedding be about including our family and friends. We were already committted to each other, the wedding was to let everyone else realise that and celebrate it together.

And it was fun.

I love the happy eloping stories, though. My brother got married by going down to the courthouse to get the marriage license and finding out that the judge had an opening that afternoon, so they did it right then. For them, it was a perfect wedding.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I like a small round table for the couple, instead of a big head table. I've seen that at a couple of weddings. Then the rest of the wedding party can sit with their loved ones.

What is even happening?

My friend sat with her family at a regular sized round table, which sat 8 to 10 people, but nothing was arranged to make it head table-ish. I actually can't remember if I sat at her table or not. I think not -- I think Scott and I sat with a bunch of our friends, but this was 1991.

Does anyone have any good recommendations for hair products? I am looking for something that will make my new layered cut look good but not make it sticky or stiff.

This is what we did. Frankly, we didn't get much of a chance to sit and eat, anyway. And since the best man was my DH's 75 year old grandfather, and my maid of honor was my 15 year old niece, a head table just didn't make sense.

That sounds good, Plei. Thanks! Today is the first day I have washed it since it was done, and I am sure I will soon figure out that I have no idea how to make it look as flippy and cute as my hairdresser made it look. ION, I have never seen shampoo bubbles turn quite that shade of pink before.

Compassionately intolerant

A neighbor-friend, who writes a syndicated humor column has made a deal with his daughter. "Elope and I'll give you [insert mid-5-figure sum here]. If you have a wedding...I'll come."

He and his wife got married, after being together for more than a decade, by meeting at a judge's chambers during lunch and then going back to work.

Interestingly, their marriage is one of the strongest I've ever seen.

Riffing off what Beej said because good/big weddings do not always ensure good/long marriages: There's no one way to get married, but when I was planning my wedding it sometimes felt as if the wedding industry was trying to push/pull me that way. There were assumptions made -- about the dress I'd want, the garter, the veil, the food, the dance, etc. -- and on many of these I'd have to put my foot down and say, "No! Not going to happen that way."

I don't think that my wedding planner was being evil, I just think there's a checklist involved and when you do deviate it's more work for everyone involved.

Speaking of more work, why do people always want statistics that don't exist?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

why do people always want statistics that don't exist?

It's really only about 18.3% of the people who want those statistics, but it feels like 76.1%.
