Mostly at this point I'm just fucking sick of talking about weddings. I'll admit that I was wrong about getting married, but I was spot-fuckin'-on about what a horrible waste of time and money a wedding is (not to mention how easily damaged everyone's feelings are, and how many opinions women can have about the most trivial bullshit--but anyway, it's in Maui, so I can't really complain too much :) Totally agree. The very first thing my mother-in-law said to us when we told her we were going to get married was, "Don't sit me next to your step mother." Luckily we were able to do our wedding for a reasonable amount, but not before getting advice such as, "You should just take out a $20,000 loan for it. You're going to be in debt anyway, might as well start now"
