Great. So now what do we talk about?

How 'bout those Resurgent Forty-Niners, people? Here's hoping they stomp all over Favre's sorry old ass next week.

Stop and look at what you are doing. You know the answer to this.

The luckiest man alive tells me everything all the time, and he asks my advice on decisions large and small. I am not nearly as forthcoming with him, which drives him crazy, but we are both deeply involved in each other's lives and businesses.

I prefer to maintain financial independence from him -- I buy my own gala tables and wardrobe, pay all of my own expenses, and maintain my own household, which I have done with every successful man I have dated, no matter what they have offered.

My initial question was essentially whether it was reasonable for me to not go to my SO, knowing that if I went to him for advice, I would get that . . . and money.

In our world, private loans are de rigueur. As I said in my initial post, everyone (family, close friends, even my [non-OM] ex) gave me a hard time about going to a third party lender before I spoke to the LMA.

I still think I was right to be independent from him, while everyone else (including him) thinks I am an idiot.

He can give me money. We don't have a relationship to compromise.

Wedding Attire Etiquette

The bride is having her attendants at her evening wedding wear tea-length suits. (Not dinner suits, suit suits with longer skirts, to evoke her 1930s theme.)

How much deference does one give a bride in determining the wedding attire of her guests?

I was just kind of hoping that someone here worked with or for a bank who had said medallion. Would have saved me having to dig deeper in the rolodex.

Thanks, y'all.

Given Plated's iconic status relative to the foundations of this community, it seems to me, as one of the few old skoolish socks here, that if there is an extensive list of potential blowees that he is not on, it really adds insult to injury.

At the risk if making it worse, did Adder make the list?

Are you an attendant? The choices are wear what she suggests or decline the invitation to be an attendant. You can tell her money is tight or something.

If you're not an attendant, what is the issue? Whether to tell her she's bat-shit crazy for proposing such dresses?

That's good to hear, but there was a disturbing trend developing.

Also, I am a plated sock.

But tell us about this list. It sounds infinitely more interesting than tea length suits at weddings. Which isn't saying much.

That depends on whether you use the phrase "stupid 1930s theme" in hearing distance of the bride!

So, you're going to dress more formally than the wedding party? Is your SO wearing a dinner jacket?

Yikes.

I dunno why it's so hard to do both (or why theme weddings are stupid). How hard is it to pick out the more vintage-y dress in your closet when deciding what to wear that night?

I mean, jesus, this late 1930s era dress was the best part of the movie:

That's the issue.

The bride is marrying my cousin. Aside from her evocative theme (yay Great Depression), our family has planned and is paying for the wedding. My aunts and my mother explained evening = formal, but the bride stuck to her guns on what her attendants will wear.

We are all wearing formal, so I am just curious about the emotional clusterfuck into which I am flying tomorrow.

I am wearing a 30s-ish gown, but yes, we will all be more formal than the wedding party.
