(I'll also note that Nora is much nicer than me -- but seriously, right now, what people need is a general time frame to expect, and if everyone's happy with your mom planning the brunch, you can firmly direct all questions about the details to her.)
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Why do people think someone else's marriage plans is any of their business? I mean, really.
ImemememeNews: Today is the first day of summer break, and yet I got up early to go take my car to the shop. Cheap repairs~ma, please.
And, I fully believe that emergency sirens should not be tested on days that it looks like there could really be a tornado. Sirens just went off, and I had a moment of "Oh, dear...tornado??" before I clued in that it's 10am on the first Tuesday of the month.

In case I haven't mentioned it recently, I love this board and the people on it.

Heh, not really. My own theory about eloping is that the wedding and the ceremony is about the bride and groom and not about anyone else. If they can't make any post-wedding celebration, that's their problem, not mine.
Elopement is an inherently selfish thing to do- and I don't mean that in a negative way. It's the act of focusing on ourselves, not others. Trying to revolve around others' plans sort of makes the whole elopement thing not worthwhile. IME.
I fucking loved eloping and not giving a crap what other people thought. BEST TIME EVER.
See? Not nice!

Someday when I grow up, I want to stop caring what other people think.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
My mother has informed me that I am not allowed to elope.
The coffee grounds thing reminds me of a time in high school when one of my classmates tried to fix the copier and ended up covered head to toe in toner.

It all comes from recognizing that what other people think is often COMPLETELY INSANE.

Dude, yeah. Best thing I've ever done. But I'd amend this:
Trying to revolve around others' plans sort of makes the whole elopement thing not worthwhile.
to "makes the whole elopement thing not eloping".

I fully support the amendment.

Our wings are not tired.
Ew, covered in coffee grounds is a bunch better than toner. the coffee grinder thing I have done too.
How is it I have never visited your neck of the woods?
That's what I'm sayin! I think there should be a winter F2F in the keys.
