Well, I'm not sure our friends' wedding is so much private private as it's over on the Olympic Peninsula (family connection and/or they go hiking there a lot), but most of their friends are here in Seattle.
On the running mates thing, I laughed hardest at the kitty and the entire state of Ohio.
Oh, some Freeper said that all the GOP needed to do to win the general was show a picture of Obama with a turban on his head next to McCain in naval uniform. Only they spelled it "turbine," which led to the following post at dKos: [link]
All of this came up when some friends of mine had a wedding with just their families in one place, and then a reception somewhere else later. I got the whole lecture.

Bwahaha!
Also, I would totally vote for an Obama/Optimus Prime ticket.

I love Obama with the wind farm on his head!
your mom is not the boss of weddings, ijs.

I'd be afraid not to. (Despite the fact that, as an Ohioan, I would like my tiny slice of glory by serving as 1/11,478,006th of the vice presidency.)
My feelings about weddings and guests:
1. You are not obligated to invite anyone to your wedding, particularly someone who's name you don't even know.
2. Weddings are EXPENSIVE. Giving all of your single friends a plus one could easily cost another few thousand dollars.
3. While I can strike up a conversation with anyone, I do understand that not everyone is like that. But if you can't go to a wedding by yourself, just don't go. (and don't feel obligated to send a gift. Miss Manners says that you only have to give a gift if you go, not if you're just invited)
4. Put the single people together at a table, so they have someone to talk to. Also, task your more outgoing friends to look out for the guests who don't know a lot of people to make sure they feel included.
5. Anyone who asks me for a guest at my (future) wedding will be disinvited.
I do not want to deal with my broken shower curtain rod today. I just want to take a nap and for the rod to stay up long enough for me to take a shower.
My lame problems. Let me show you them.
