They did have a HUGE gift table and invited family over the day after the wedding to eat left overs and watch them open the gifts. Is that a new tradition too???
I've heard of this. I will not do it, because I expect that I will be so sick of the people giving me "friendly" advice, I will kill someone.

I've been to a bunch of these morning after brunches. Some with gift opening, some without.
I've been to morning after brunches, but not with gift opening!
Does that apply with work or hobby friends, though? This is my second krav wedding, and I do know the bride's brother, but that's because he'd routinely travel in from Colorado to do krav here.
Well, no. That was more traditional. These days obviously there's a lot more adults getting married, and you wouldn't know their family, and their best friend/MoH might live six states away. So, it's not nearly as bad to include in the invite, but I still think it's not really cool. But I still think the one that was about "give us money for our honeymoon at www.honeyluna.com" or something was ridic.
I love the gift opening thing because I always want to see what people get! (I know it's deadly boring for most normal people.) The ones I've been to have been lowkey brunchy things for close friends.
Daisy! Max Cady has a new album! Neat!

(1) How's your mom today?
(2) So, what did you think of Folsom?
t edit
Lee -- I disremember -- did you go to Folsom too, and if so, was it your first time?
And juliana, O thou veteran of Folsoms past (or, okay, just one) -- what did you think of this year?
(1) Doing well. They are going to keep her an extra day or so to get her blood thinner stuff worked out, but beyond that, everything is going great.
(2) Purrrrrrr. Next year will try to get there earlier so I can see more before it becomes PEOPLE, PEOPLE, PEOPLE. There will be an lj entry eventually.
eta - my cousin who I have been staying with, in the city of Fulsom, found out where I went and said when I return later this week, she will have leather sheets on the guest bed for me. Bwah!!!

What was your favorite thing?
I haven't made it to the Folsom street fair yet It always seems to happen on a busy weekend
What was your favorite thing?
Well....big picture? That all these people are comfortable sharing what turns them on, literally. I'm so curious and yet have never had the chance to explore or let my freak flag fly (still trying to figure out what my freak flag looks like).
Specifically? I got to try on a real corset, not a cheapy thing, and MAN it was nice. I just need to find some cash so I can afford one. WANT. A while ago Jilli pointed me at an ebay-er who makes custom corsets for a more reasonable price than Dark Garden. Need to revisit. Anyone wanna trade my $200 giftcertificate.com balance for a corset???
