I don't think that's right. At all. If a 90 year old wants to drink, fucking let him.

A classical music fan in the next aisle asked for the privilege of purchasing it for him, and he wrote her a nice note with his autograph.

My workplace, folks: I cut 6 inches off my hair and it took 2 hours for anybody to notice/mention it. I've been here 5 months and sometimes I wonder if half the people know my name yet.
C'mon, flea's coworkers! Get with the program!

The only weddings I've been to have been Methodist and Mormon. Neither of which do the drinking thing. So I have no idea what the alcohol etiquette is on weddings.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I picked my wedding dress up from the tailor's this afternoon. I tried it on to be sure the length was right (SPOILER: it is), and the little Greek seamstress's husband was there and told me I was beautiful and asked if I was married.
"This is her WEDDING DRESS!" The seamstress said.
"Ah," said the husband. "Tell your husband he's lucky he got to you first!"
I opted to not point out he already had a wife. Cutiehead.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Aw. That's the part of wedding planning that helps makes up for the awful parts.

Although -- I didn't think about this before -- the dress has no zipper; I can't step into it, but have to pull it over my head. Which is no big deal in general, but -- I'm getting my hair done at 11 a.m., and not going to wear my dress all day (obvs.). So...how do I pull my dress over my head so as to keep my poofy hairdo from getting fucked up?
(NO ONE answer "carefully.")
Would putting a scarf over my hair first help?

Coworker Chad for the win: not only did he make gestures and grin as I walked past a long distance away, then when we were in the same space, he said, "Your new haircut is adorable!" (Chad also wears a bowtie. He is a sweetie.)
