but since it'll mostly be my friends, there will be awkward silence.
I'm rather disbelieving this is even remotely possible unless you started out with "I really hate you all" and even then, it'd end up in hilarity and people not shutting up.
Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

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
You can have TWO PIECES of cake.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
paperdol, I recommend bringing props. It always helps to wave something around like a wee Angel puppet man.
Or a picture of Nilly. Or F2F t-shirt. Or something.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
but since it'll mostly be my friends, there will be awkward silence.
Yeah, because we're usually such a quiet bunch.
My babysitter can't make it Saturday, but I'm sure we can get my MiL to watch the kids. Otherwise they might come up to you during the reading and pet your hair and tell you you look just like a princess.

I have gift bags for everyone, so maybe that'll help?

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

It's gonna be great, paperdol.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I am still so sad I can't make it. Stupid holiday weekend.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I'm watching the rain outside the window. It looks like it's actually going 2 different crossways.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Maybe we can pet Allyson's hair and tell her she looks like a princess.
That's my number 1 favourite compliment from kids, and I'm not even girly girl.
Still no migraine. This makes it the first day in months I've made it to lunch without one. I guess the meltdown was kinda worth it.
