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.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"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.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
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).
Yes, Italian weddings is why I consider 100 so small. My mother's wedding to my step-dad was right around 100, and it was definitely one of the smallest weddings I have ever been too and pissed many people off.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
100 people is not a small wedding in my book. We had more than that, though I don't remember how many.
Cold and rainy here. Bleah.

That is something you can work on! I think I have, but also maybe I've just gotten lucky in my past couple of searches.

Yeah, I'm not sure how I'm failing...well, except in one instance where the woman in charge randomly and bizarrely decided I was completely unqualified and hated me. I was all "WTF?"
