1. Fired for thoughts on gay marriage

   

   Discussion by AllAboutTheBenjamin · June 2012 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Snarky Brides

   Key word here is thoughts. I'd like to know what you guys think - a woman near where I live was recently let go from her job as a Catholic private school teacher for her evolving opinions on gay marriage. On a self-evaluation she wrote that she didn't agree with all teachings of the church but that she never brought up her…

   I haven't read all the replies yet, but I wonder if the gift opening thing evolved from when gifts used to be displayed? Way back when, before folks lived together regularly pre-marriage and hope chests and living at home until the wedding was the norm, wedding gifts would be displayed in the bride's home. Often this was…

3. Re: Why are evites a faux pas?

   E-vites are not an etiquette breach in and of themselves. They are just too casual for most weddings. Your invitation is to convey the formality of the event. An evite means extremely casual. Maybe one day that will evolve, but in 2015, evite = extremely casual. It also conveys the notion that it isn't a big deal event the…

   Scoop - good advice above. Life is a lot more complicated when we are at this age, and with children. Obviously you need to decide what your budget will be before you start the conversation, and one way to do that is to go to websites of weddings you have been to recently, or places where you might like to have a wedding…

   Well I definitely would not invite his step sister to the shower if she isn't invited to the wedding. You can't invite anyone to a gift-giving event and then not invite them to the actual wedding. I also wouldn't "break the news" that you aren't inviting her children anytime soon. You might change your mind over time.…

   I don't fully understand some of this gibberish, but you are confused about how etiquette has come to exist. There was no counsel where a bunch of people decided what everyone should do. Etiquette has evolved over the years as a set of social standards and rules that people should use to treat each other. It's actually…

   I haven't been to a hindu wedding, but lots of other indian weddings (muslim). They are all VERY colourful. You do not need to attend all the events if you don't want, but if you're invited, you are welcome. You also do not need to purchase a new outfit (if you don't frequent these events, they are often $ that sits in…

8. Re: Teaching "Don't Get Raped" instead of "Don't Rape"?

   

   Reply by DNAtime · December 2011 · Home› Wedding Discussion Boards› Snarky Brides

   I work at a middle school. Right now we are changing our schedule and it breaks my heart that 8th grade health may not be required anymore to make room for extra math and reading. Our health teacher is amazing, she makes a big impact on the kids and most of 8th grade health is sex ed. Even kids who have this definitely…

   Stone Creek Banquet Hall at the Flat Rock Recreation Center is where our ceremony and reception will be. It is on protected wetlands and very beautiful. You can have the ceremony for 150 guests outside for $800. This includes set up and tear down of the chairs. If you have the wedding on any other day then Saturday you can…

    We have been talking about Europe for a LONG time, but because of our wedding date (8/27/11), and depending on when we leave, we could be coming home around the 10th anniversary of 9/11, something that concerns us. If we took a trip like that, which would be a trip of a lifetime for a couple of 50-somethings, we'd want to…
