INTUITION



Toilet Rascal
I graduated from a Jesuit Catholic HS and I was no joke super religious at the time, albeit pretty progressive (and still am). The school focused a lot on fellowship, helping the poor, all the cool stuff that you'd generally agree with. When I went to college, I knew I should stick with being involved in campus ministry, so I joined the one affiliated with my school. Things... were different. It was much more politically motivated. One of the main people there was a mega anti-abortionist. He once gave a speech about how one of his nightmares was that when he passed away, he'd go to heaven, and Jesus would lead him into a room filled with barrels of aborted children and ask "Tom, why didn't you do anything to stop this?" The guy graduated, had like 7 kids and still goes to street corners to hold signs protesting abortion. I looked him up on facebook, and he's already a racist uncle user.

It was an overall generally creepy experience which more or less turned me off to church for a long time. I started dating my current girlfriend, also Catholic, who invited me to her church. The church is super progressive and very diverse, and during the prayers of the faithful, they actually call for people to understand that black lives matter. The church you attend can really make or break your worldview.

This. I'm apparently some unrelatable weirdo because even my best man said a few days before the ceremony "Gee Quiet Feet, I never thought you'd find anybody." I can't imagine being with anyone other than my wife right now. She's an awesome lady. :)

Also re: cheaping out on a photographer, we did that but lucked out. My wife's cousin was an amateur photographer (with good equipment) and the dude did an amazing job. If you'd just walked in and saw him you'd have assumed he was hired. I think he took about 1,000 pics total. We also left disposable cameras on each table so that people could take random pictures if they wanted. Which probably seems pointless what with cell phones these days, but if you have any older guests they might make use of them.

I won my NCAA Bracket at work without being able to tell you a single player outside of Lonzo Ball (and that is purely because of his crazy father) and received a nice $70 amazon gift card. Thank you UNC. Thank you refs.

We've been through a lot, and somehow it just gets easier every day. I supported her through depression and med school, and when I was underemployed after a really lovely corporate layoff, she refused to let me take a job I'd hate. We complement each other extremely well, and it's awesome to know that even if a lot of bad poo poo happens we've got a strongass pillar to lean on.

Re: photos
As much as it's groanworthy, making a hashtag for Instagram is stupid good for reception photos if you like candids

Also, talk to local photog students if you really want to cheap out on photos. Or hmu. I need to ditch my Nikon system because it can't handle video as well as I need it to for my new job, so I need as much cash as I can get for either a Sony a7sII or panny GH5

One time when I was an angsty middle schooler I went into Hot Topic with a vaguely goth friend. When we were in there he was like "I think this song just is some guy screaming shut up over and over." I told him nobody would be stupid enough to write a song like that.

So not only is your girlfriend crazy cat lady, but you are physically suffering because of it? I have a solution for you, find the nearest bucket, fill it with water, and report back for next steps...
