Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

All,

I am having an argument with my student that I need to be resolved. Here. In this forum.

How many guests do you think are the MAXIMUM for a "small wedding?"

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

49

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I agree with Tom. 49

Heh. I would say 50. But yes, right around there. Possibly with more being invited but not actually expected to come.

What? I pulled that number out of my ass. I've been to four weddings in my life.

Would "intimate" be considered smaller than "small"? IE, intimate would be immediate family only and small being the next step up?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Intimate I would say 12 or less. Small, I defer to Tom's reknowned expertise.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

My student says "100" is a small wedding.

And I laughed out loud at that. 100 is not small to me.

I don't think 50 is particularly small, but I think if you're talking numbers bigger than that you really can't claim small.

I'd say "very small" or "intimate" would have to be less than 20 including bride, groom, and minister. Possibly smaller depending on how many siblings/children/etc you have.
