DD, who was 5 at the time told us that "this is the most boring wedding ever" and asked to go back to school I laughed. But also, I loved our wedding, it's almost 14 years later and it's still talked about (the food! the music! everything!), but if I could go back 15 years and talk to myself, we'd have eloped to like Vegas on our way to Fiji or something for our honeymoon. We laughed too, all the way back to school and then DS fell asleep and we went and had a beverage while he slept in the stroller. It was actually pretty awesome.

My brother, who was in basic training, threw us a curve ball about 3 weeks in on a 10 minute call when he said that he & his then girlfriend were getting married when we were in San Antonio for his USAF graduation, but that was the most beautiful courthouse. They have a fountain and beautiful courtyard they perform them at there and it was so nice.

If you want a big wedding, have it. I had it! We had two reality shows ask to feature my wedding because it was so over the top. If my kids want one, I’ll oblige. It’s their day and all that. It’s just as I get older, they’re all very similar and are so much money. I still am the most gracious guest and tell the B+G how lovely everything is and how it’s the best day ever. I just would be thrilled if my kids want to do something a little out of ordinary. Please say it was the one we all watched where the groom cussed out the limo for being late and then got pissed about people not giving the right amount of cash. I loooved whatever that show was called.

And my point was even the great ones are kind of a dime a dozen at this point. Truly. You need 4 things: great food, great bar (including non-alcoholic since more people abstain now, so do a fun mocktail or at least offer various soft drink options), great music, great seating. There will be the group that wants to turn up on the dance floor and the group that wants to sit and catch up with people, especially after the past 3 years. Those are all anyone cares about. They will not remember your centerpieces or guest book with the phone that records the messages or the waltz you did for your first dance.

The venue won't allow any of the leftover food to get taken home or packaged and sent to the firestation or homeless shelter not that far away. Makes me angry. Totally not looking forward to the list by table not by last name written fancy on the mirror or similar and nobody can find their table. That’s so annoying, what’s their reasoning? We did late-night munchies at the end of the night when people came off the dance floor: burgers, fries, etc. Nobody really wanted to eat it then but we always say we wish we would have packed it up and taken it to the after-party. I would have crushed a burger then. Liability. I feel like a real piece of shit passing people sleeping on the sidewalk downtown when I'm walking to the parking garage after weddings where I just watched them toss filet and salmon in the trash.

Did you get married in NJ or PA? Bc I’m mentally running through the venues that do dessert rooms. Had one this weekend. Always a hit. In Philly (Old City-ish). Ownership changed hands since but hopefully they kept the dessert room! If it's the place I'm thinking of (I looked there) they still do a version of it.

The food waste has become a big thing for me. I see these incredible cocktail hour and dessert spreads and at the end of the night I watch it all go in a dumpster and it kills me. My current peeve is seating charts done by table instead of alphabetically. Couples spend $$$ on a giant vintage mirror and a calligrapher who hand paints this elaborate signage. It looks beautiful, but I end up standing next to it with a spreadsheet and asking people for their names, then telling them what table they're at. The venue won't allow any of the leftover food to get taken home or packaged and sent to the firestation or homeless shelter not that far away. Makes me angry. Totally not looking forward to the list by table not by last name written fancy on the mirror or similar and nobody can find their table. This sucks. We feasted on our appetizers at the hotel after-party and it was the best!

He died of an overdose at 44 I’m not going to lie, I was kind of expecting a heart attack. His blood pressure had to be through the roof.

The most recent ex of this alliterate A list rapper says they got secretly married about three years into their relationship and are still married. Perhaps that could be addressed on the show in which he is going to appear. Then again, it is not like his current girlfriend could communicate with him about it anyway.

My H and I were ranking the best 3 weddings we’ve been to and it went 1) south of France; 2) Turks and Caicos; 3)some crazy wedding where multiple presidents were invited (and honestly it was really so fun because of how drunk I got, not because of the $$$ spent). We’ve been to so many weddings where they do creative, amazing things and it’s wonderful. But it’s never what makes an amazing wedding. Our favorite weddings were really fun weddings where it felt like you were best friends with the whole wedding. If you can’t live without bacon egg and cheeses handed out on the way home or a cigar roller, by all means. But it’s not what makes it a great night.

I can see this. She seemed very sweet when shown on the show Did I mention I binged all 9.5 seasons in what a month and a half I’m trying to catch up to you! I’m almost at Katie and Tom’s wedding. Please tell me they fight less after they get married because whoa. She was running that train wreck to thr altar.

I used to work for Staples and he came in asking for something. He was an ass and thought everyone would dawn over him. We did not. ETA: I did not know he died. That’s sad. However I stand by what I said. He was not nice when I met him.

Their wedding season was terrible The worst. I also don't really like Katie that much. She just seems miserable constantly. And Schwartz is just schmuck. I'd probably be miserable all the time if those people were my friends too though. I never liked Katie. She clearly didn't like herself. She would go off on those coke rants and curse her friends and Tom out with her paragraph texts. She needs intensive therapy because they never should Hve gotten married but she pushed that issue. She needs to unpack that. She never seem to get her cup full from him in any way. 🤷🏻♀️

My wedding was awesome with one of the best cocktail hours I've seen. And we had a dessert...room. An entire room full of desserts. It was amazing. But I got married on Dec 17 - eight days before Christmas. I remember someone asking me if I was concerned that it was an inconvenient time because of the holidays and I totally didn't care. Looking back, I bet so many people were irritated with me. I don't think you should care. People are either going to go or not. 🤷🏻♀️

This wedding is $$$ but not sure if it will be that memorably wonderful. figure the discussion might be ok there EXCEPT the glitter whose idea was it to put glitter on baby's breath? and whose idea was it to buy the baby's breath with glitter on it? the bride or her bridezilla mother? I know it was my idea that they could use my guest bedroom to bring wedding stuff but I didn't know there would be GLITTER I am covered in glitter I am trying to separate out baby's breath that is covered in glitter (on my back porch) It will be memorably wonderful because it’s your son Unless you are my MIL. She still to this day talks about what a fun day it was and yet her face in pictures say otherwise

This former A- list singer was also on a very popular television show featuring twins. He can say whatever he wants to say about when he started having sex with his wife, but everyone knows that when he was 35 and she was 15 and a runaway, that he hid her until she turned 17 and then married her at 19.

She told H and I it was THE WORST day of her life and was sobbing! Apparently having to see H’s dad, who she’s been divorced from FOR 25+ years, even though they’ve both been remarried for the majority of that time, was enough to throw her into a tantrum. H was like “wow, thanks mom”. *no there was no abuse, his mom just hates his dad that much

Apparently this global health organization didn't like what this A list tech guy was going to say at a conference about his time working with them early on in the pandemic. Now, he is dead. I am sure it is a coincidence.
