Wait, was the bride wearing flipflops, Aimee? Or directing you to put them on? I don't get it...
There was a thunderstorm here in Seattle--thunder and lightning and rain! So weird...so not Seattle.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
"It's SMIL - she would never mean to say something shitty."
But...didn't she? She's a grown up. What does "never mean to" mean in the face of having done so?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
The bride wasn't wearing flip flops but the bridesmaids were. We could wear whatever footwear we wanted. We chose flip flops.

It's my half-assed way of trying to excuse someone I love for saying something shitty. *shrug*

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Thank you for all the birthday wishes! Today has been a lovely day, so I'm having it as fake-birthday. I'm listening to the audiobook of American Gods. How have I spent 33 years on this earth without discovering Neil Gaiman?
Sean, I get (what sounds like) similar gassy/burpy/over-full/nauseous stuff with the gluten intolerance. Definitely sounds like it's worth looking into intolerances. I agree with EpicTangent about trying a day or two without certain things in your diet.

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

We didn't try hard enough?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Those are the cutest freaking wedding pictures and you all look fabulous. Sorry there's been grief.

Thanks!! I think we look awesome also and the black flip-flops along with the parasols, and wide sashes on our dresses, we look vaguely Japanese-ish style wise. Which totally went along with the bride's 20's look.
People have their opinions, I guess.

This appears to be the case.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Aims, you look gorgeous in those pictures. I say stay out of the kerfuffle, and let them work it out on their own.

Next you should read Neverwhere.

Informal poll of buffista parents: squirt guns yes or no? I stepped in it today by mentioning that I could buy one for G because I told him that I would buy him something if he was good and it is a gazillion degrees today. But I was told by H that nothing that anything even vaguely gun-like is unacceptable. So I was just wondering how many other toes I may have stepped on in the past by buying kids squirt guns.
