This past weekend I went to the best wedding I've ever attended. It was such a stark contrast to the last wedding I went to where the groom came to the table drunk and went on and on about how he wasn't allowed to invite his friends and he really didn't want to be married.
This wedding you could clearly see how in love the couple was. Everyone had such touching stories about the bride and groom. They said their vows just as the sun was setting behind them over the NYC skyline. It couldn't have been more perfect. I don't think I've ever been so teary eyed!
See pictures below for the pictorial story of the Benelle wedding (Ben & Danelle):
save the Date. can it be any more adorable?
Seating assignments. Subway style.
Cate's famous cupcakes. Subway style.
View of the skyline as seen from DUMBO
Name cards. J-Ho. I loved them.
First Dance.
End of the night. Well almost the end of the night..

Holiday PartyCategory: work
Every year my company throws an over the top Holiday Party. Last year my sister said she felt like she was at the Emmys. I'm not really into it because they require us to dress up. If they threw like a jeans and beer party I'd be all for it. And the wives are there which makes it not as fun. You can't get wasted and have inappropriate makeouts and/or flirtations. Either way I plan on sending out a memo to my office faves that says:

BuffaloCategory: buffalo
According to New York Magazine if you're looking for the next new place to live it's:
That's right. They say forget Brooklyn, as a matter of fact forget New York City all together. Move to Buffalo now before the gentrification takes over and makes it took expensive. I'm going to hold off and wait for global warming to kick in. The snow scares me.

Here is a link to article :::link:::
And a quote.... He worries that New York will eventually price out the people who started this cycle in the first place. "If I were a young man with a lot of money," he says, "you know where I'd go? Buffalo." He's not kidding. He'd buy up a lot of underused waterfront property on the cheap, then sit down with the local politicians and community groups to draft a plan for attracting the creative types who reinvigorate neighborhoods, block by block.

Douche with LysolReally Lysol can clean your vag and save your marriage? If that's the case I vote for dirty vag and being single.

ok, if her vag is in need of lysol, maybe it's because a dirty dong was in it? maybe the husband should dip his dick in some battery acid and see if we can prevent this problem in the future?

I wonder if that really worked. Before I saw the picture I thought of the canned spray and thought but what happens when the guy goes down on her. But looking at the bottom it is a concentrate meaning that it is very strong and gets to the right strength with mixing with water. It still seems a little strange. I still wonder if that was true? I also wonder if that was made to use that way or if it was just someone's crazy idea.

OMG that is scary. I can't even imagine how awful it would be if I had a vagina and used Lysol as a douche! It gives new meaning to the saying "It is so clean you can eat off of it".

Maybe things are different in ItalyCategory: work
I work with this gentleman who is from Italy. He is uber high maintenance. On top of this sometimes he has the most odd requests. Like this one I just received:
Quick question: the brother of a client passed away. Do you have a sample note I could use or maybe suggest two lines?
Do you say something like....
Joe:
I was just told from Dave about the major loss you had in your family.
My deepest condolence to you and your family.
Do I have a sample note? Hmm, let me look in my files labeled "sample notes for death". Dude I have a hard enough time coming up with something to say off the top of my head, let alone coming up with things for you to say. My suggestion is just ignore it. That's what I do. Or you could go to www.someecards.com and use something like this:
