Feast your eyes upon the second nerdiest wedding ceremony of all time. (Sean Parker and bride's ren faire extravaganza is expected to remain in the top spot forever.) This couple livened up their nuptials by throwing a "battle wedding," featuring appearances by Batman, Iron Man, a knight, several ninjas, and the WWE's…
The Internet has made so many, many things cheaper. At the very least, it's easier than ever to comparison shop until you find the best deal or until your eyeballs begin bleeding (whichever comes first). So why are weddings still so nightmarishly expensive?
Remember the 300 $andwiches Lady? You know, the food blogger who says her boyfriend told her that once she made him 300 $andwiches, he'd buy her an engagement ring in what of course was not a shamelessly craven gimmick to get a book deal? Well: she's only 100 $andwiches away. And her boyfriend wants advice on how to…
THIS IS NOT A DRILL. THERE IS A MAN SHORTAGE IN HONG KONG. STOP THE PRESSES! THEN REMOVE THE PRESSES AND REPLACE THE PRESSES WITH MACHINES FROM THE OLD BROKEN DOWN MAN FACTORY. WE NEED MORE MEN, GODDAMN IT!
This is from Noah's Yard, a bar in Wales that's known for regularly changing the message on its sign. According to the South Wales Evening Post, a woman walked into the bar after discovering her husband's affair and asked for the sign to be put up. They awesomely obliged. The woman said she's feeling much better since…
Lots of people Social-Media-On-Company-Time-level hate their jobs. Many Badmouth-Their-Employer-To-Their-Friends level hate their jobs. Fewer still Steal-Shit-From-Work level hate their jobs. But one Maryland woman wins: she stole $5.1 million from her job over years... all while running a charity for military brides.…
A recent study by the University at Buffalo Research Institute on Addictions followed 634 married couples over nine years to provide a scientific basis for the "uh, duh" notion that heavy drinking (defined as "six or more drinks at one time or drinking to intoxication") can bring on the divorce.
Gather round, ladies, because I'm about to lay some science on you. A recent study suggests that, wait for it, many men like having hot wives.
Stephanie Smith, the lady who sandwiched her way onto the internet's STFU list with her blogged quest to make 300 sandwiches
Please, will one of you marry me PLEASE because this is happening. (Also, it would help if you had a daughter I could put in an adorable mini-suit.) (Lots of requirements, but I'M WORTH IT!) (?)
Things were going well for you, weren't they? You were happy. You were just living your modest little pleasurable life, excited that you splurged on the good deli turkey this week and that the coffee from the place around the corner was not too bitter today. Sure, your partner was too busy at work to reply to your…
Obviously this is a story out of the UK. It's the Britishiest British story ever Britted. The scene: Coddington, Nottinghamshire. We deal not with a fox wearing a feathered cap and tunic, stealing from the rich to give to the poor, but with a horse chosen to be a bridesmaid. Putting the mare in marriage.
If your marriage ceremony didn't include the Lord or his ambassadors — and instead maybe involved jumping over drum circles and then sticking banjos up your partner's butthole before making out with a litter of dogs wearing pasties and chaps?* — you might be an atheist. And if you're an atheist, there's a chance your…
All the single ladies better hurry up and put a ring on it, because Gallup researchers are reporting that what the economy needs is more marriages. They found more than 130,000 people and found that married people throw their money around town like they're doomsday preppers at Costco.
Remember Neil McArdle, the Liverpool groom who called in a bomb threat
Online dating is no longer just for rejects, simpletons, and that dude in AP History with the hump (the sexy hump! what!), it's now one of the main ways people meet their mates.
Two dogs (not these two alarmed dachshunds) that were injured during a 2008 earthquake in China’s Sichuan province recently celebrated their nuptials, which culminated with the new couple being collared together in a single wreath as they gazed wildly at the grinning human faces around them. Did they know precisely…
I get a lot of dumb pushback at my job (itinerant lady-yelling), including but not limited to frivolous contrarianism, unhinged vitriol, and angry unsolicited advice (so angry!). But the shit that gets to me the most intensely and consistently is also the simplest. Just, "Nu-uh." Nu-uh, silly girl, that's not real.…
So much better than a bouquet. (JKJK DON'T do this at your wedding unless you're a terrible person.) (But DO photoshop a cat into all of your wedding pictures.)
Look, times have changed, k ladiez? It's no longer enough to simply meet a guy, date him, fall in love, determine if you share the same general values and have a proven ability to weather conflict until you both arrive at the idea that marriage is a solid idea. The bar has been raised, and in order to help a man see…
Crazy brides
Modern conundrum: thanks to the wedding-industrial complex transforming what should be a nice little celebration of love into a hilariously expensive clusterfuck, a lot of couples find themselves in an odd position, relationship-wise: they've ruled out marriage, but they also are pretty sure they're never going to…
Apparently ladies are now opening up their pocket books to ensure they receive the rock that their hand both needs (?) and deserves (?). Hey, maybe the sandwich lady
Thanks to its morally reprehensible concept and sleazy ad campaigns, Ashley Madison — the website for married people looking to cheat — brings to mind gross, gleefully unfaithful married dudes trolling for hot extramarital vaginas. But it takes, as they say, two to tango. What about the women who use the site?
A New York City gossip reporter revealed herself today to be the woman behind 300 Sandwiches, a food blog she started because her boyfriend once told her that if she made him 300 sandwiches, he'd buy her an engagement ring. So why isn't this already a terrible straight-to-Blockbuster movie starring overgrown Disney…
Fire up the gaffe signal; the President said something unscripted! Yesterday, during an "hot mic" moment at the UN General Assembly, our Commander-In-Chief Barack Hussein Bengazi Obamacare Bailout Obama confessed to an official that he hasn't had a cigarette in six years because he's "scared" of his wife. Either First…
When you work on the internet, at least once per day you come across a story that makes your crotch wince and your brain scream to unremember what it just read. This is today's story.
I'm a huge fan of when two things occur at the same time in the news that illustrate glorious contradictions about how we live our lives. Like, on the one hand, it only takes 224 tweets to fall in love, says this study by UK electronics retailer Pixmania. But over on the other deeper, more enlightened hand, is a story …
