2) The dress, in fact, decidedly did NOT look good on her.
BWAH!!
That was the funny thing about my sister-in-law. She came in, fully expecting me to twig about her wearing the white dress-- I could've cared less. But she kept following me around, asking, "Are you sure it's okay? Seriously. I could change. Are you sure it's okay?"
I was totally Zen about it, but my sister, who was actually the nervous wreck, finally turned to her and said, "Only reason you keep asking is because you know it's not okay—now that we're all painfully aware of it, do us all a favor and shut the fuck up about it."
Worst wedding story--I have told it here before, but will repeat it because it just BOGGLES me. A friend's dad showed up drunk to her wedding with a woman (also drunk) he had picked up at a bar the night before. Which we all knew, because he made sure to tell us all that fact. WTF?

HAR.
My proposal consisted of climbing into bed post-Christmas Eve prezzies at this mom's house, him grabbing a box, and asking if I liked our rings. Which, to be fair, if he hadn't then, I would have on NYE. Knowing the current one, I expect any proposal will involve beer and/or football. I tend to go for the low-impact gesture types.
It's funny - I spent a lot of the weekend feeling depressed for no good reason until I realized that last time I saw the men's Olympic marathon, we were opening wedding gifts. And then I was pissed that I was depressed, kissed M, had a beer, and it was all good.
Hey, look, killed the thread. Sorry!
The DH proposed by apologizing. He said "I have something to say to you which is really not romantic. I have been thinking and I realized I want to be married to you, but I just don't want a wedding. I'm sorry." THIS from a guy who writes for a living.
Bwahaha! Okay, mine wasn't exactly like that, but it was pretty close (minus the not wanting a wedding). Must be something about the profession.
"Only reason you keep asking is because you know it's not okay—now that we're all painfully aware of it, do us all a favor and shut the fuck up about it."
...isn't this where the face-punching comes in?? I mean, *seriously*, people....
Because I’m bored, I’m trying to come up with all the Olympic sports that rely on subjective scoring. Have I left anything out?
Gymnastics
Diving
Synchronized Swimming
Equestrian (Dressage)
How much is judging involved in the following?
BMX
Fencing
Taekwondo
Wrestling
Judo
Boxing
Any shooting or track & field events that involve judges?
Well, some of the track and field events involve subjective scoring? Like, the pentathlon (women's) involves dressage?
There are all kinds of events that I had no idea were events, so...lord knows.
(The pentathlon is one that I didn't know was an event but I think is SUPER AWESOME: you run, swim, ride a horse (I think it's dressage? But maybe it's jumping???), do sword fighting and shoot, I think?!?! How freaking cool is that!?!?!)
