Speaking of FB, my FIL told my aunt (who he has never met) on Facebook that lard makes your hair darker. Um.... okay, thanks FIL. My ILs fucking annoy me on FB soooo much.
Like, rubbing it in your hair does, or just eating it?
Relatives on FB make it suck. Unfortunately for me, my dad is the most annoying person for me. He shares all these political memes and articles, likes that he shared it, comments, then likes his own comment. A FEW TIMES A DAY. It's mostly stuff about raising the minimum wage and anti-war, so it could be worse I suppose. If he was a tea-partier or something, lol. BUT IT'S EMBARRASSING. TO ME.
Haha. I get it. On top of all that's annoying, MIL and FIL ARE Tea Partiers and FIL post shit allllll the time. Every.Fucking.Day. And it's always Fox news.

For our wedding we put candies in the cutest little jars that I searched high and low for and then put gingham cloth on the lids to fit in with our picnic theme. People ate the candy and left my adorable jars behind. I think the only non-food favor that I ever kept fro a wedding are wine bottle stoppers. They are little metal trees and very nice and useful. So, unless it's something useful or edible, skip it.
I will admit that I recently went to a wedding and there were no favors. I was bummed.
I have only the vaguest sense of what a podcast is and have no idea how a person would listen to one. I presume rabbit ears and/or ham radio devices are in order?

LOL, I have no idea! I made an album with a bunch of old pictures. My aunt was in one of them and she was like "oh, is that me? I don't recognize myself. My hair is so dark!" Or something like that and FIL chimes in "lard makes your hair darker." Ugh. lol. He and MIL get on my fucking nerves on there.

My H's aunt posts the most RANDOM comments on my photos sometimes. Like the comment has absolutely NOTHING to do with the picture. She's so weird.
I love big Thanksgivings with lots of people bringing different dishes and catching up with family and being silly and running out of cutlery and eating too much. And this year it is just my parents, uncle, and aunt. That is it. The food will be small, no one will want to play games (my favorite thing to do ever with my family), and we will watch football.
I am bringing wine and beer and plan to drink a lot. Not even my brother and SIL will be there. I am disappoint that the perfect Thanksgiving will not be had and kind of want to stay at home. I am 12.
This is how my family's Thanksgivings were until about two years after I got married. Once my younger cousins started getting married or were in serious relationships, our side of the family tended to get left out. Now it's just my parents, brother, and my grandmother. It used to be no less than 25 people and it makes me sad.
so. Art Deco wedding. Colors are navy and champagne. I wanted the save the dates to be fun, informal, and postcards. also they are 50% off so I can get them all for like, $40

Is he familiar with her lard consumption? How random. And rude.

... It's his wedding too, compromise, blah blah blah.
You shouldn't have to compromise with someone who is flat out wrong. No one wants a tchatchki for a wedding favor, but in the interest of compromise, could you do a little dish with maple sugar candies. Most people will send the dish to Goodwill, but you'll get good wife points, maybe?
No, really, a dish is a bad idea. Food is always a better idea.

I think you would enjoy Serial. You can listen online just like you can with This American Life.

I went to a concert last night and really enjoyed the opener and fully planned to buy a CD before they announced that they give all their music away for free on some 'soundsomething?' app/website. I have no idea what that is. Ugh.
meggers5 A lot of people here like having 'something' to take home so maybe its a cultural thing? My brother got around this by doing different things for guests from different countries! Could you do this? Give the Canadians something to eat and give the visitors a tacky canadian wedding keepsake?!
Where is "here", lol?
I'm worried there's a cultural clash, but he doesn't know anything about weddings, so I think he's pulling t his out of his ass.

He can check with his mom.
Jamaica.
And I remember my SIL's friend from Nigeria being thrilled with his random peice of tourist tat! See what his mum says - she/his fmaily may want something to 'show off' when they go home.
Ah shoot. I hope not. If that's the case then we're doing moose fridge magnets or something lol. I'm going over budget for this.
I mean, they could save the candy to show their friends when they get home, no? lol.
ETA: And I knew you were in Jamaica. I don't know why I didn't put that together lol.
