My wife and I threw the wedding we both wanted. We planned the whole thing together. It was her second marriage but my first (and hopefully only). It was huge and expensive. The food was fantastic. We invited everyone we wanted to be there. We're huge jazz nerds and we had an eighteen-piece big band. Our parents planned nothing (it was our money, after all). We're still paying for it two years later.
We loved every moment. Neither one of us would change a single thing.
We do not operate under the assumption that every day is going to be like our wedding day. We do not suffer fairy-tale delusions. Marriage is work. We're parents now. It's more work.
Don't kid yourself. People have been disagreeing with you right and left. That's the general equivalent to being downmodded.
Erm, geek bride or no, most women have been planning their wedding since childhood. My lovely geek bride had no problem at all with "a day of attention seeking" as you put it. And she's plenty smart;)
Wow, you're really gaming it. Good for you. Hope it keeps working for you. Seems like a lot of effort for a few hundred dollars a year. I've decided to simplify.
And the moment you make any sort of mistake or have a charge you can't pay off in full (regardless of your level of discipline, this will probably happen eventually) the credit card company will earn back every cent you've made from your cash back or rewards. In fact, they'll likely earn it back and many times more. This is the business model behind rewards programs. Sign the customer, make them believe that living month to month on credit is okay, then wait for them to fuck up.
It's gambling, and the bet is that you'll never ever ever ever ever run into trouble paying off your bill.
Cool. You teach your own kids. If your neighbors choose not to they'll be too stupid to do what you want most, which is to leave you alone.
Libertarianism breaks down as soon as you interact with other people. Like you're doing right now. On the Internet. Which was invented and paid for by the United States government.

The light that burns twice as bright, burns half as long. And you have burned so very, very brightly, Roy.
Farce.

...agreed.
Please, stop speaking for all geeks.

You probably mean flair. Flare would not be a desirable characteristic of a wedding invitation.
Better question: does Greedo shoot?
This is wrong. The senator was attempting to return to Washington. The Senate is in session today at 2 PM. The Constitution is quite clear here.
I'm one of the people that won't allow it. Democracy. It's a bitch.
'Cause I hate it when my Metro apps get out of tact.
Only in America would the comment "Living on credit is stupid" be modded down as a troll. Be strong, brother. There are other true believers like you.

How exactly would you spend money you don't have? On debit, you can't get into this situation.
So last chance to buy a tiny tablet without email!

He can't have mine ;)
Stupid question, but why wouldn't you just use a keyboard with your iPad if you need to do extensive typing?
We have penguins at the St. Louis zoo.
They aren't laws right now, they're regulations. In a conflict between laws and regulations, laws win.
True, but in a conflict between a bill and the president's veto, the veto wins (unless Congress overrides, like that'll happen).
Been that way since day one. Seriously. I can't imagine how they've sold even one of these things.
Yeah. Because it makes sense for every state to have it's own weather satellite.
Are you going to ignore my first point?
I don't have to trust you. I was there. Cars looked different 18 years ago, too. What's your point?
