Zaza is just a dumb name for a child outside the weed thing but that kid would also end up getting Dracula Flowed by weird Middle Aged Men randomly as they grew up so that might be exciting and confusing for them.

Guy who wants to exclude five specific people from drinking is the rear end in a top hat. Let’s game this out. First of all:quote:I told them that I am tired of having to plan ahead for people's addictions and all of them are capable of not drinking alcohol. If this was true, you would either have a dry wedding, or one with booze but no “except for these five people” list So what he’s got set up now is -Bartenders who now have to be cops, and aren’t getting paid to do that. They’re paid to serve drinks and maybe card people. Policing OP’s family is not in any bartender’s job description. That’s what security is for, which it sounds like they have. -So if these people are alcoholics, they will be drinking at this event. Whether that’s having someone else get their drinks for them or bringing their own, no alcoholic is just gonna white knuckle their way through it. It is not within the realm of reasonable expectations that this plan will prevent the potential problem guests from drinking. -Again, if they are alcoholics, the act of excluding them is going to create as much or more drama when they’re sober, and then even more when they inevitably get drunk (and smug for outsmarting the world’s dumbest plan) -everybody else is going to remember the rules, and the drama that came from them, more than they would the person being asked to leave or being escorted out if they overdrink. Your wedding isn’t a kindergarten class. You are going to create a weird loving vibe for everyone with this plan!

This problem has been solved for a long time, as summarized in a tweet of yore https://twitter.com/wyatt_privilege/status/1181238647749787648?lang=en

lol “finding yourself” goes at least as far back as leaving your wife on the day your child is baptized to go across the country and become an Artist, in 1976. Ask me how I know. The hippies were a mistake.

babypolis posted:i dont neccesarily disagree but isnt this true of basically any historic monument? pyramids, ruins, palaces, its all built on suffering Yeah but you don’t see too many people getting married at Andersonville. People choose to romanticize some things and ignore others. If you’re getting married on a plantation, it’s because you or the plantation owners haven’t done a good job of recognizing it as a place of misery and woe. This was another failing of reconstruction; that the geography of slavery is confined to the places the state could claim, and that they didn’t claim the sites where a lot of the misery was enacted. A proper country would look down on someone getting married on a plantation the same way somebody getting married at a serial killer’s former home would be treated.

Unless your house was on fire/medical emergency/power outage swept in overnight there are no excuses for adults to miss planes. I say this as someone who missed a flight once! It was because of a stupid assumption I made about how weather delays work, and I still made it to where I was going on time. My mom worked with somebody who more often than not missed their flight for work trips. Constant need to rebook/show up a day late to on-site meetings, because his personal life was an unmanaged ongoing crisis. Why the gently caress did HR keep approving rescheduling fees and so on? Because that only made the problem continue! It was ridiculous, and I’ve only had this opinion harden as I age. As a society we have baked in all our regrets, fears and anxious preparation necessary to be on time for flights, and if you’re still loving that up it’s time for remedial training on how to live.

mystes posted:Eh I've somehow never actually missed a flight but at some points there are trade offs and I'm not sure it makes sense to always get to the airport 3 hours early just to ensure you have a .0001% chance of missing a flight rather than a 1% chance of missing a flight Totally agree; it’s a standard half hour ride from my front door to the gate at the regional airport I fly out of. I still get in that Uber an hour before doors will shut, just in case, and check road conditions an hour or two before. It’s just astonishing to me when you meet people for whom this is more than a once or twice in a lifetime experience.

Malachite_Dragon posted:Counterpoint: Proms are also highly overrated and sports girl wouldn't have missed anything by not attending it. It's all the "joy" of getting to spend all evening with the same gaggle of acne-faced students you already spent all day with except now there's lovely music, bottom-of-the-barrel refreshments and you're all wearing uncomfortable suits and dresses. Skill issue. Standard prom in my hometown was go, eat, dance, and then go party at the hotel that had hot tubs. They started all that lame after-prom poo poo a few years after I graduated. But I had some loving awesome times at prom. It might suck now, but it’s probably a function of do you enjoy dancing and being dressed up fancy. I did feel for the kids who went to my wife’s Mennonite high school. They weren’t allowed to dance at school functions so they had a banquet with no music, no dancing and definitely no getting drunk and high in hot tubs afterwards.
