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.

I like a small round table for the couple, instead of a big head table.

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.

Rusk Undressed?

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.

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?

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

WE eloped- but then again we lived together long enough so that we more or less felt married anyway.

What makes me crazy is that 84.6% of the 18.3% remain convinced that what they want does exist because they're sure they saw the numbers somewhere but forgot to write the source down and don't remember any of the circumstances surrounding their discovery.
