I have to agree with dad here. If I spent all the time, money, and effort to help give this union a great start and all I got was some snobby finger food I would be pissed. It doesn't need to be 5 star or avant garde. Simple, with good ingredients, and enough to satisfy.

Honestly... you're VERY safe with google photos. Not only because the photos are private, but also because there are hundreds of millions of people that have nudes in google photos. Unless you or your girlfriend are some kind of celebrity or public figure, or you have a lot of people that hate you, you are completely safe. If you set up two-factor-authentication, you're even safer. Truly, I'm sorry to tell you, all of this was for nothing. (This is coming from a tech guy that knows what it takes to get private information from someone btw)

True, but I meant on the stove, because that’s what the op was about.

Make the food as abundant and filling as you want the love in your marriage to be! More food! More food! More food!

Probably helpful for people to know the ways around it and have that information, thanks stranger!

Where do you get an ungodly amount of weed for $15?

I was agreeing with but pointing it out for the few less savvy with tech because of the reference to Snapchat is all.

So salty. Ofc you'd be a cook.

> I hope you never have to eat those words.

Thanks, I already paid my dues. Caught my burners on fire, heated the oil so high it smoked (wrong burner).

I'm glad you have the time, energy, training, and vigilance to stand over your stove until everything is cooked to immaculate perfection. I hope you never falter or make mistakes. ;)

Ron Popeil would definitely tell you otherwise.

Like a "Really Very Quick Cauldron"

I kind of think it's just because it's pretty, etc. Now, it's nice for Instagram, etc. In more classic terms, it makes for a nice visual memory of a day. But, it sounds like in practice, a lot of the memory of the day would be about the arranging of complicated things that often go wrong.

My wedding was just signing some paperwork at the Family registration center(Taiwan). My wife had had a traditional wedding with her ex. Not fun. Mostly just a chance for her FIL to do business.

I love the idea of the first 25 people all eating 4 person's worth if food each and the just rubbing it in the faces of everyone who got there later.

In your defense, beets taste great

> it was awful

Well, wouldn’t that make it the perfectly apropos seat of the national government?

If only we had a pot that could compress slow cooking into an instant. Like a “Now Kettle” or “Snap Crock.”

I'm not controlling the narrative. I replied only based on whatever you wrote.

I'm Asian and I've lived in Asia for 20 years. I'm pretty sure I know about the people and their lifestyles more than you.

And yes, smartphones are common. That might not have been your experience in the 4 months you were in Tibet, but most people, even underprivileged families, have smartphones. There's many smartphones available in Asia that are both cheap and provide a lot of features. You can get good smartphones for as cheap as $150. $1000 phones are also available but are obviously not as popular.

You did compare intelligence, and you're doing it again. "not many young kids who are lucky enough to have the phone quite understand all the capabilities". Yes, they do. Most people know what their smartphones are capable of. You saying that Asian kids for some reason don't is racist. It has nothing to do with having the same access. They have a smartphone, they explore what it can do. Why should they know less than kids elsewhere?

Stop generalizing all of Asia based on whatever experiences you had in your short 4 month stay in Tibet. I'm not saying your experiences are false, but they obviously don't apply to a whole continent.

this is the least relatable TIFU I have ever read. People are paying for your wedding? And you are somehow bothered that they have input on the FOOD?!

It’s not the crime, it’s the coverup.

But they're 29 and in Europe! I'm 39 and American, and I only saw the show on VHS!!

I wouldn't say I've been missing it, bob!

there have to be cheap catering (buffet/always available) options to offset your choice of cuisine.

pizza bagels? pigs on a blanket? pizza rolls? wings? whatever the cultural equivalent is, please please find something for your guests so that they don't starve.

an open bar is only good as far as their stomachs are full. you do not want the drama from 2 pieces of ravioli on lettuce + 5 shots.

It's always better to immediately step forward look em in the eye and say I fkt up. Where do we go from here?

Fiancee was the one who wanted it in the first place.

I loved that show so much and your tone concerning that masterpiece irks me a bit.

Not only was he our friend, but a whole lot more.
