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?
And what's the fun in becoming an immortal demon if you're not regular, am I right?

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.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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?"

because people are crazy.
Also, often, stupid.
Today was a good day. Mostly because I got out of the office and went to see this place with a hot (although married) park ranger. And then I went to TJ's and spent too long finding a parking spot and too much on food and came home early, woot.
