FWIW, I attended a reception that had an open bar from 8 PM until 5 AM. The reception didn't spontaneously extend until the wee hours. It was planned. Good lord. Of course, it wasn't an American wedding. It seems that other countries throw better parties than us.

I went to a wedding where the family kept on bribing the staff to keep going past the 2:00 AM cut off for the reception hall. Open bar all along. The family wasn't American but it was here. Great wedding.

Mr. BUnny and I attempted to crash a wedding in Al Ain, but once we realized that the gilrs were in one room and the boys were in another, we decided it wasn't worth it. No alcohol in site either. Not all non-AMerican weddigns are fun....and the running from the armed guards chasing us out of the wedding wasn't quite the rush I was looking for.

Lately the celebratory gun firing sometimes calls in smart bombs, which can really kill your buzz.

Geez, what a greedy pig. Did he at least leave the [soft] ball for you?

Maybe your friends and relatives are all the same. My sister read from Rilke at our wedding.

You married your sister? Lord, man, I thought the "friends and relatives [being] all the same" was just a figure of speech.

Jesus, people. Sunny, it's your wedding. Do what you want. If you think that meat is murder, serve tofu. If your budget forces you to choose between including 300 people with a cash bar or 100 with an open bar, and you don't want to exclude your husband to be's second cousins from Ho-Ho-Kis, then go cash bar. The wedding is for you; it ain't for your friends who like beef, or who are planning to get smashed on the free Bushmills, or who are bored with your religious traditions.

No, sorry Bob. You have to be at least a little sensitive to your guests. If I had told all my vegetarian friend to bring their own damn food, we're having meat, that would have been a little insensitive.
And fyi for anyone who is thinking about it, if you're going to have a cash bar, you have a duty to tell people in advance. Seriously, no one brings cash to a wedding. At one wedding there were groups of us leaving the wedding in car loads making runs to the nearest cash machine. That's just wrong. And to find out that after you've made the cash run, that you're paying $8 glass for crappy wine and crappy well drinks, that's just insult to injury.
While we were all sitting around bitching about it an insider told me that the bride and groom decided that they could either afford less food and alcohol, or more elaborate spread and cash bar.

Still, I think you have to tell people to bring cash to your wedding if you are going to have a cash bar.

so your love is not patient and kind? cool. my love is fairly impatient. it is usually kind, unless the lovee's interests run counter to mine, in which case there are no guarantees. oh, and it is good in the sack, which makes it rather hard not to be boastful.

the funny thing is that one of the weddings I went to was pretty non-traditional (as I expected, knowing my girlfriend who was getting married), but sure enough the reading that the groom's mom had picked was that damn Corinthians passage. the bride's mom's reading was much better and more original.

Sorry, I forgot there'd be Southerners reading that post. My bad.

For anyone keeping track, the HDTivo arrived on Friday. Fortunately so did the Salamander rack.
Got everything up and running and IT ROCKS! Only complaint is that there's only 5 HD channels. And ESPN HD ran fucking golf all fucking day. I can't tell you how many time I saw Phil's putt on 17. Well, golf and the fucking Yankee/Dodger game.

Less, you will be happy to know that Spice is also in HD.

And Project Gotham 2 in HD and Dolby Digital totally kicks ass.

slice the green tomatoes about a 1/4 inch thick, dip in egg/buttermilk mixture, then in the bread crumbs. Fry in a scant 4 oz. of olive oil (not extra virgin). drain on paper towels.

serve as is, or garnish with one table spoon crab louie on each slice.
