{{{Cash and Liv}}}

So I suppose my 230-person wedding isn't objectively classified as small, though it was one of the smaller ones by Italian standards. Total invited was right around 500 (including people from Europe and South America that we knew would never show).

Cash, that's bad ... but at least the school is stepping in.

I recently saw an article about the schools around Manchester (U.K.) are being designed to prevent bullying - wide corridors with open sight lines, stairways with clear sides, windows in rooms, restrooms with an open plan (although they do have cubicles for toilets), administration and teacher offices are scattered around the building instead of in one cluster. Unfortunately - I think - they're also installing CCTV. But comments from kids were favorable.

There were 10 people at my wedding, and one showed up by accident. It was a haphazard affair, but it was legal.

(Hubby's brother had arranged to go motocrossing right after the wedding, and his buddy showed up early to pick him up. Buddy was mortified to realize he'd walked into the middle of a wedding, which was held at my in-law's house.)

"It's too early for her to have to deal with this!"

I know. This shit makes me bananas. She dealt with it absolutely correctly and I'm proud of Liv for standing up. I just wish she never had to deal with this to begin with.

I'd consider 100 guests a small wedding. It's certainly not a big wedding.

Ugh, Cash. I'm glad it sounds like people are responding appropriately because WTF.

And I think 100 people is average size for a wedding in my peer group.

"It's too early for her to have to deal with this!"

Absolutely. But I'm really impressed with her reaction, and how the school is handling it. Now I just hope she doesn't have to deal with that stuff for a VERY LONG TIME.

Anything over 50 guests = big wedding in my world.

We had around 120 people at my wedding and it felt quite big. But yes, the way people think about wedding size is strongly influenced by family/culture/etc.

Why isn't today over yet?

OMG, I was all busy and prepped for a phone interview...and it turned out to basically be the recruiter wanting to know if (a) WHY I wanted the job and (b) how much money I wanted. And now I have to hope I sounded good (probably didn't say enough about how much I totally want to work for this company, but honestly everything I know about them is from their website which is sparse) and now I have to set up ANOTHER phone interview, with the hiring manager, to get more info and talk about stuff, before even setting up an interview. Sigh.

Sadly, I seem to be really good at getting interviews, and very bad at sealing the deal. So I'm not superhopeful about this job.

Belatedly,

So, I appear to have made an offer on a house.

Huh.

I swear those coulda been my same words! Congrats & good luck !

Also, autocorrect should not offer up GOP for 'good'...
