Wedding Question
 

I hate receiving lines. They force the guests to make small talk with people they don't know while waiting to get a few moments with the bride and groom. And it should only be a few moments, else everybody else is stuck either looking around aimlessly or trying to make conversation with the 14-year-old sullen junior bridesmaid who didn't want to be in the wedding party but was merely a pawn in a power struggle between the mother of the groom and the bride.

This is why receiving lines shouldn't consist of every person in the wedding party, but alas, the practice continues, even at weddings thrown by urban sophisticates.

Dollar Dances
 

I attended an Italian-Irish wedding in NY that featured a dollar dance.

If I recall correctly, the bride wore Carolina Herrara and it was a rather swanky affair. My mother, seeking to soothe my teenaged shock, explained that it was a sign of respect for the Italian family and was not considered tacky, despite the pinning of money and the passing of a money bag.

The annoying thing is how much money that you put out that you don't really think about before hand. The wedding spot and reception are obvious.

Pay the organist at the church.
Pay the minister/rabbi.
Tips for the bar folk.
Etc.

Wedding Question
 

Hey, we're a classy bunch.

So, you invite people that you don't know to your wedding in the hope of scoring some extra gifts, and you call other people tacky?

Wedding Question
 

So, you're saying that we should have a "dollar peek night" where we can pay a dollar to see FB members' boobies?

Can we post a paypal address to pay for this? Thurgreed should really consider charging.

Fuck. I agreed with Bilmore. Better call my doc.

Wedding Question
 

Speaking of receiving lines, "Pirates of the Caribbean" - I'm shocked to say - was one of the best Hollywood flicks I've seen this summer. Depp was a riot and Kiera Knightley is fucking hot hot hot hot hot.

I'm kind of torn between the shorter hair Kiera in "Beckham" and the fuller-figured Kiera in Pirates. Whatever.

Uh no. Its called my in-laws invite some of their friends to the wedding because they are the ones shucking out $35,000 for the deal.

Wedding Question
 

You are my crush for today. :kisscheek
Anyone else have a dramatic life changing book in their lives?

Wedding Question
 

Word.

Plus, it means you gotta kiss the groom's granny, who half the time tries to slip you some tongue, just to get a little lovin' from the bride.

I'm much more offended by full Catholic ceremonies than dollar dances.

And I'm Catholic.

Wedding Question
 

She was godawful fat, wasn't she.

What the fuck are you talking about? She rivals Angelina.

Seems kinda word to have a full Catholic wedding mass when only about 1/8th of those in attendance are eligible to take the "cookie".

Apparently we have solved the site funds problem: Breasticle day should be made pay per view.
