I want a marching band at my wedding. Other than that I'm not sure (aside from awesome groom, and as many friends and family as possible, a decent spot, good food, and lots of booze, and me looking gorgeous! but specifics I don't know. And have no reason to know yet!)
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

Weirdo!
Well, okay, I'm pretty sure it's me that's in the minority.
The problem with coasters and such is that my automatic response to scary things is to focus on staying calm. Which might a useful reaction at times, but if I'm meant to be enjoying an adrenline rush it's kind of counterproductive.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I've never been to a wedding where the attendants clothes were paid for by the couple/couple's family.
My mom helped pay for my attendants' dresses because they were fairly expensive. Mom & Dad paid for the whole wedding, which was a huge help. But we did a lot to keep costs down--making our own food, etc.
I understand wanting to feel pretty and have the day be special. I felt like a princess.
Ginger, you were a lovely bride. I love this picture of you.
Gracie's brush off of Noah's affection slayed me.

ugh - I have just found out about a set of circumstances that I can no way come clear of without making a friend upset. I was left off the email about a memorial service and now I can't be there. This will not be understood, no matter what is said to my face.

I can't control the circumstances or other's reactions. At a different place in my life I could drop things and switch directions on a dime, but now I can't and it is exhausting to feel like you have to apologize for not meeting expectations over and over and over.

yeah, but it still can be hard to deal with. I'm sorry.

Never really had a "Special Day!!1"...would like to, if not to the point that I'm a bitch about it. But, still, 20 grand for a dress?!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How long is too long for a sore throat? I mean, other than five seconds? Because I've had this one and not really other allergy/cold symptoms for a couple weeks now. I have to hit up three pharmacies for prescriptions tomorrow--I wonder if I'll remember to a) check lozenges for sugar substitutes b) buy lozenges.
And I wish either my migraine guy or my pain management office would call me back--how am I supposed to make appointments in voicemail? I sense flaws in their systems.

A couple of weeks is definitely too long, especially if it's not getting any better.
