So either Fleur is too poor to pay a sitter or she is breast feeding her 2 year old

No DD, you just don't get it. She's speaking for ALL (entitled) moms.

If someone doesn't want your bratty kids at their wedding that is up to them. She says something like "Why did you even invite me?" but she would have bitched for not getting invited just because she had kids.

Of course. Definitely just wanted something to angrily momblog about. Also the hypothetical answer to her question is probably, "Because we were incredibly close friends in college a few years ago and you were an important part of my life, but that doesn't necessarily extend to your two bratty toddlers I've never met. Sorry I don't want to pay for them to scream over the vows I spent a week writing."

Wacky. Just do whatever. The truth is that barely anybody's gonna notice you after you walk up. When we were at the same wedding in November, did you spend the whole time paying attention to what I was doing with my hands?
Nope. I wish I would have met you too. Rehearsal is tonight anyways. We'll get this down.

Quote
Fleur (which rhymes with ‘blur’ and is French for “flower,” in case you were wondering) is a former media relations and marketing professional happily turned part-time freelance writer and all-the-time mommy to her daughter, a spunky and sweet toddler. She always assumed she would return to work after maternity leave, but the role of Mother grabbed her by the soul, and she was very fortunate to have the choice to remain at home. A wandering heart to the core, Fleur and her husband of 9 years have traveled and lived in many places, but are happy to have returned home after the birth of their baby girl. Fleur and her family reside on the outskirts of Zachary down on the farm, where they enjoy raising chickens, horses, dogs, {not super successful} attempts at gardening, and just generally being outside all the time. Based on her choices when it comes to motherhood and parenting, Fleur would likely be dubbed a “crunchy” mama, but her husband would just call it making things more complicated than they have to be…for the good of their daughter, he would totally add {wink wink} Fleur loves coffee, languages and words, honest conversations coupled with hilarity as a requirement, photography, and the idea of sleeping through the night.

I'm legitimately angry right now

That makes more sense.  Trust me, no one who knows me in real life thinks I am a stud in any way, shape, or form. 
Thanks.

If I've learned anything from Twilight & Fifty Shades of Grey it is that chicks love guys who can play piano (and are also a bit stalkerish).

Without any other comment, I am familiar with that phenomenon.

Guys, I'm in a wedding this Saturday. What do I do with my hands?!!! In my pockets? I have to stand up there for an hour in front of everyone?!!!  :runaway:
You will be fine. You got some good advice from a few on here.  It all goes pretty naturally in my experience as groomsman or best man.

Just home from the wedding.  Nice event and great music.  How did yours go, Wacky?

We saw that on the news last night which then caused a discussion about how catering pricing works. Do they charge you for an exact number of people you reserve or do they round up? Like if I say that we need dinner for 79 people do they charge 79 x $ per person or do they round up and charge 80 x $ per person? Or do they just have an option that is "This amount feeds 75-85 people for $$$" and even if you only have 79 people you have to buy that option?

you tell them the exact number, and you get charged for the exact number, but the caterer will make enough food for extra people

Right, they have like a 10% buffer or something. Thank you for proving Gooch wrong once again.
