so let's talk. I have to go to the troll wedding on 7/28. it's at 2 in hamburg (about 2.5 hours away) and the reception is at 5 in allentown-ish - amanda Jul 16, 06:31 26
- Well, my usual attitude towards weddings is "eff this shit", so I'm the wrong person to give advice. - Marlowe Jul 16, 06:45
- one more thing I'll note is that the whole affair is super new traditional and scheduled. so I don't know quite how early we could bail because - amanda Jul 16, 06:39 17
  - Well we're waiting here in Allentown For the Pennsylvania we never found -- nm - Budice Jul 16, 06:57
  - The wedding I was at this weekend, they did couple first dance, father daughter dance, etc, the minute they entered the reception. - ty97 Jul 16, 06:44
  - I guess that all depends on the relationship with the wedding. I'm not well versed on the backstory here - oblique Jul 16, 06:42 12
    - it's sasha's son. he's marrying a troll. -- nm - amanda Jul 16, 06:51 11
      - Ross is old enough to get married? Damn, we're old. -- nm - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Jul 16, 07:01
      - oh, it's Sash's family. That...might change things -- nm - ty97 Jul 16, 06:56 7

        What does Sash think of the troll? - ty97 Jul 16, 07:11 4
        
        she's "it is what it is" about it. nobody can stand her. she seems to go out of her way to make people uncomf around her. - amanda Jul 16, 07:18 3
        
        Can't Sash stop the wedding by refusing to sign the permission slip? - ty97 Jul 16, 07:27
        
        dear god, i assume this wasn't her first time at the house? Do exactly what you said, open the door and yell Hello if you know people are there. -- nm - Andie Jul 16, 07:26 1
        
        oh no. they'd been together years at that point. it was one of the last times I was at old sashamart. -- nm - amanda Jul 16, 07:30
      - Bridge or message board variety? -- nm - Baron Starr Jul 16, 06:54
      - does she live under a bridge? -- nm - decline Jul 16, 06:54
  - enh. unless you are sitting at a table right beside the dance floor you can sneak out in there somewhere. (maybe after the couple dance.) -- nm* - Andie Jul 16, 06:41
  - that sober is my definition of Hell. -- nm - Beaker Jul 16, 06:40
- bail early. -- nm - decline Jul 16, 06:36
- do the wedding, head home as soon as wedding is done. -- nm - Beaker Jul 16, 06:32 5
  - I actually proposed this but my date was like "why not get the free dinner?" (I kind of feel as though this "free dinner" comes at a very high price.) -- nm - amanda Jul 16, 06:37 4
    - i think 'stay through dinner' is fair. Talk to the couple so they remember your presence, drive home. - Andie Jul 16, 06:40 3
      - Once you've gotten face time with them your job is 100% done. -- nm - Ender Jul 16, 06:51 1

  - Yeah, that should be up there, too. -- nm - Inigo Jul 16, 06:31
- And you know that quality of the movie is not important since they allowed "...Coward Robert Ford" into the bracket. -- nm - Baron Starr Jul 16, 06:01 2
  - Or about 20 movies that are worse than that one.. (NM) - Marlowe Jul 16, 06:42 1
    - Without a doubt, but I rarely develop an active dislike for a movie like I did with that one. -- nm - Baron Starr Jul 16, 06:52
- Some obvious ones they're missing: Twister (teaser), Austin Powers 2 (If you see one movie this summer, see Phantom Menace), The Matrix.. - Inigo Jul 16, 05:17 3
  - Twister's teaser was superb ; Matrix's was a game-changer ; Godzilla's teaser is ranked too low. -- nm - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Jul 16, 06:15 2
    - I remember watching the superbowl and seeing the matrix trailer and running to the computer to buy it on the hsx. I swear it went up $20 overnight. -- nm - amanda Jul 16, 06:21 1
