The honor of your presence is denied: how to tell people not to come to your wedding (APRIL FOOLS!)
You know there are people in your life who are SO not invited to your wedding. You know you can just picture them salivating over your spread of delicious eats, pawing over your pretties, and ogling your awesome like a kid in a candy store window, knowing they aren’t allowed in. Cherish that feeling. You are a special snowflake, and you get to be a bit chilly. Here’s how…
Hell yeah, kale bouquets
There seems to be a lot of people talking about kale bouquets lately, as if it’s some sort of recent and possibly ridiculous wedding trend. Are you kidding me?

Until we realized that everyone else was doing it, too.
Bridethulhu is the new Bridezilla

Morning after photos: the trend that totally isn’t
Oh lord. The internet has its panties in a wad with yet another OMG SHOCKING!! wedding trend. This time it’s “Morning after” photos, where a photographer comes to the wedding suite the morning after the wedding and takes pictures of you and your honey looking all sexy with your fuck-nest hair and tousled sheets. It’s a cute enough concept (especially if you’re poly and need some sexy shots for your couples-seeking personals ad) but bitches, we need to talk: this is not actually a trend.
