Wedding pictures!

I took like 150 pictures, but I just put a chunk up there. If you want bigger versions/wonder if I have a shot of something, feel free to comment or email at hazharrower AT gmail.com.

I'll let Shaughn and Nuance give a more detailed account, but in short:

- Good time to be had. Now have a blister the size of Texas from dancing. Was worth it.

- Whoever gets married next (qedrakmar, I think you were volunteered) is getting a zombie wedding.

- Fitchburg and alpaca is always a good Plan B.

- FFVII victory music is very appropriate at wedding ceremonies. As is the Imperial March. (Happy 30 years!)

More later.

EDIT: Anyone else take pictures/know what's up with the wedding photographer? I'd really love to see some more pictures. =)

Oh, yeesh. I don't know if it's my comment that was screened, though I'm assuming by seeing it in gray that it was.

All I actually said was: "Wow, cute pictures. Now I'm sad I wasn't invited. *sadness*" I hadn't at all meant it to be a pity play, but I realize also that hazliya doesn't know me quite as well as shogunhb does.

Perhaps I should have added a smiley. I dunno.

I was sure you didn't mean anything by it, but I didn't want to take the chance in case someone else didn't. I have a bunch of people who scan my LJ, and there are a lot of people on LJ who like to stir up drama. =)

Looking back, I guess I should have locked the post for Shaughn, Nuance, and Adam, since I took the pictures for them, and so as not to upset anyone who didn't get to go. I can be oblivious like that sometimes. =/

Honestly? I reeeeeeeally don't think the original comment is too big of a deal, given my further comments. I'm glad to have seen the pics; I would have had no idea how pretty the bride's dress was otherwise!

You'd be surprised at how many people are hyper-sensitive. Even something friendlier-sounding would've been hurtful. I've already had an LJ episode happen from that sort of thing in the past, so I figured it was better to be safe than sorry in case any of those types still trolled my journal.

I apologize if it made you self-conscious, though. And I'm glad you ommented again - otherwise there would've been potential for the drama harpies to descend. =/

I'm not questioning whether you should have screened the comment. I can't say definitively whether the couple is one of the people who would have a priori felt hurt by this or something friendlier sounding if they had known who it was from, so I can't really automatically accept the statement, "Even something friendlier-sounding would've been hurtful." Sorry, they might well have been, but I have major resistence to any statements of the, "X is Y," effect that aren't about one's own response.

Again, I'm not saying you shouldn't have done what you did. At no point was I saying that.

I was saying that the comment was honestly not meant as a big deal, and I think that this has all become a bigger conversation than need be. :) For that reason, I think I'm dropping it, if that's all right with you.

No. Don't cave in to the drama llama. Locked posts are for sissies. :)

Oh, man. I wish you could've spent one day in my high school. xD

~120 girls per class, 75% in the high-income bracket, 25% with some sweet connections.

We had drama. Oh, did we have drama.

But, yeah. I know several people who troll my journal who would've said something like "Oh, nice pix. Thanks for rubbing it in our faces that we didn't get to go. I would never do something like that to you, but it's cool. I guess I'm just a different person."

Just an example of what I'm used to dealing with. x.x

Thank you! I'm sad that we couldn't invite everyone. You made the long list, which basically consisted of everyone we knew at any point in our lives... ever, whom we were on good terms with. Oh, plus family. All family. Everywhere.

That list was very long.

You also made the first cut which removed distant family and potentially massive drama. This list was not very different from my New Year's Party invite list.

That list was also very long.

The short list was compiled, then padded with the guests and significant others of the short list... then shortened again.

Considering how many people you know (You nexus, you), if you ever get married, you'll either have to rent out an aircraft carrier or just elope.
