Regardless, my birthday will be spent trying to navigate beer to my house during a quarantine.
Damn you may be younger than I thought. My wife didnât like it but I thanked people at our wedding and said âwow what a great day. Most people only get to experience this 2 or 3 times in life.â
Actually wife was ok with it as sheâs used to my shit.

If any of my favourite mom and pop shops are open after all this, Iâll pay the premium to keep them open if I can.
Lord knows, theyâll need it.
And youâll get to know them after youâre married.

Iâm 28, so not a wise old fart, but not quite a young fool either.
Edit: the fool part is a self assessment. I could well be the king of dunces.
Thatâs where Iâve been going, even before all of this. It paid off because there are fewer people than the supermarket.

Likewise. I use my corner shop. Alas, the small eateries and pubs are shut and I canât do much for them right now.
Sounds like a keeper. Mine brought me a mug of coffee and a sandwich for my first day of working from home.
I barely avoided tearing up with joy.

The day before my wedding I floated to my bride-to-be the idea of replying with âWell, I guess soâ to the âdo you takeâŠâ question at the ceremony as a tribute to my juvenile sense of humor.
She didnât cancel the wedding after hearing that idea so I knew she was a keeper.

Oh my HELL you will love this one, @lopparâŠ!
" A Russian military plane carrying medical equipment has departed for the United States, the defense ministry in Moscow said Wednesday, as the Kremlin flexes its soft power amid the coronavirus pandemic."
âThe Antonov-124, âwith medical masks and medical equipment on boardâ, left for the U.S. overnight, a statement said, without providing further detailsâ.
Mr. Trump said earlier this week that âRussia sent us a very, very large planeload of things, medical equipment, which was very nice.â
Thank you, VLAD!
Wow, thatâs an extremely cheap way to get sanctions lifted.
Unfortunately, Trump lacks the self-awareness understand that in this is an act of abject humiliation.
Iâm trying to get my fiancĂ©e to change âtill death do us partâ with âlet it end in death.â
The fact that I still have a significant other indicates that sheâs a keeper.

Pro-tip: Marry her immediately after the outbreak. Make it spontaneous. spur of the moment stuff.
Iâm so worriedâŠblah blah⊠letâs get married now! Invite only the closest family and friends.
Youâll save a ton of money and avoid all that stress and annoying relatives.

When I first read it, @lopparâŠI honestly thought it was a piece from âThe Onionâ.
Sadly, itâs true.
Mate, Iâm trying to get her into the registry office right now. She has Canadian family which is the issue. She wants a large extended wedding. I want nothing of the sort.

They all want it. Theyâve been brainwashed since they were six.
You have to prove that youâre a cool operator and cut down the numbers.
I went from nodding my head to her initial grandiose plans of a wedding with 200+ invitees to a wedding with 12 guests. And it ended up being âomg this is so romanticâ stuff for a tiny fraction of the initial financial ruin.

But without them, could we have had this superjam of a song?

Ten grand spent so far. About that much again if the initial plan goes ahead. I may have the literal act of god here.
Edit: If a global pandemic isnât force majeure nothing is.

Talking a woman out of a massive wedding is very hard indeed. My wife and I did a destination wedding with close ones and then a big reception back home.
Little sister got married on the beach in New Jersey at 5 pm. Probably 200 people not connected to the wedding in the general beach area. They all walked over and watched and clapped and shit it was pretty cool.
