I worked as a photographer's assistant for 2 years, and I've been to some pretty *scary* weddings, but that really takes the cake. I gasped through the entire thing!

I was thinking I was "too sensitive." It's like they're speaking their own language. What amazes me is, people pay a fortune for it. Ladies: I got my winnings just now! Thanks to Never teh Bride: It's all lovely. And man, Fedex is impressive! I'm in Canada and got my stuff a mere 48 hours after learning I had won. Riona, that’s good to know!

This was supposed to be a friend of yours? Rhondi, I present to you, as a personal gift, in the event, heaven forfend, you should ever need to use it: “Do you think he didn’t want to get married…or do you think he just didn’t want to marry *you*?” RESPONSE: "Well, he heard I was friends with you, and that killed the possibility." *ladies, feel free to modify and apply as needed.

That is from Judith Martin's "Miss Manners' Guide to Excruciatingly Correct Behavior." I loaned this book to my best friend, who used said line, without giving offense, on a customer who asked about her wages & commission. The nosy questions went unanswered, and neither of them got upset.

Usually shuts 'em right up.

I'm absolutely sure that I would have faked illness and left immediately after having had to stand in the circle. (Actually, I have a very convenient chronic illness that I reserve for just such painful social situations.) You deserve every inch of what you won: you <i>earned</i> it.
