The 30 Hottest Bearded Men Of The World Cup

http://www.buzzfeed.com/mattbellassai...

because...hotties with beards?

[Becky]

Most of those are just good looking guys who forgot to shave in 2 days. I wouldn't really call those "beards". That's scruff.

[Dawn, Dawnerys, Mother of Modding]

People who RSVP "maybe" to a wedding should be tossed off a tall cliff.

Seriously.. RSVP date was TWO WEEKS ago. Yes or no, pick one and stick to it. If you don't know yet, then say NO.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Calm Dawn.... You and your other go hide somewhere for a bit and calm down. It'll work out. This is leading up to a good day for the two of you. People are thoughtless. Don't let them stael your joy in the event.

And congrats.

[Dawn, Dawnerys, Mother of Modding]

LOL, that's not quite an option. We have to have the final head count in soon, and get seat charts done so we can print place cards. It doesn't just work itself out.. We have to get our answers so we can work it out ourselves.

Ermin Bičakčić (Bosnia) has the worst selfie ever.
Marcel Schmelzer (Germany) is in the psychokiller category.
Giorgos Tzavelas (Greece) looks like a really bad photoshop job.
Neymar da Silva Santos (Brazil) I stand corrected on Ermin's selfie.

I vote for a firing squad.

And the aim should be just below the knee caps.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

If people don't RSVP there's nothing to do. If you have time notify them that no RSVP means no seat. All you can do.

I know some are probably family members you don't want to offend....hang in there.

People will show up regardless. Sadly.

When my father-in-law got married, so many non-RSVP people showed that there were no extra seats. Like, none.

And since i was assisting the bride & groom get settled when I got to MY seat, someone who wasn't even invited had taken it! *angry face* The site was going to set me on the opposite side of the room with a group I didn't know (only extra seat left) so my cousin had me SHARE her seat. Share. Two butts, one seat.

It took the site over an hour to find a seat for me. And I got my food late, too.

*angry*

[Dawn, Dawnerys, Mother of Modding]

I just don't get how people can be so rude. I really don't. RSVP yes or no, and stick to it. I understand when they RSVP yes and then real last minute situations make it so they can't come.. But RSVPing maybe is rude, as is not RSVPing, as is saying no and then coming anyway. Period.

[Dawn, Dawnerys, Mother of Modding]

As is, by the way, RSVPing your kid even when it says specifically "adult only" and your kids name wasn't on the invite.

Call them and tell them no.

Seriously. Kids suck, anyway. ;)

[Dawn, Dawnerys, Mother of Modding]

Apparently it would be rude to tell them they can't bring their 13 year old, since they've already sent in the RSVP. J's whole family had a nice discussion about how it would just cause drama to tell them no now. And plus, he's 13 but looks like an adult.

Screw that. Seriously. He's going to have a shit time, will sit there bored at the table playing his Gameboy, and complaining about the prime rib we are serving. Then he and his mom will leave early, because there is no one his age there for him to hang out with.

But guess what? He's coming. Gah!

The joys of weddings. Seriously.. J and I are pretty sure they knew no kids were allowed and just RSVPed him anyway. Whatever, we didn't want the drama so we just said screw it and dropped it.

[colleen the convivial curmudgeon, Not a book hipster!]

How will it not cause drama with the other people who will then get pissy for not being allowed to bring their child?

Exactly what we said. Plus, it's causing drama between J and I already. We already somehow got into a yelling fight about it, even though we agree on the issue.

Bottom line, we're damned if we do and we're damned if we don't.

[colleen the convivial curmudgeon, Not a book hipster!]

You should print a bunch of these out and have them on stand-by at the wedding:

I think I'm a pretty calm and rational bride in general.. But for real... I think I'm at "dress crisis" right now, or I'm worried I will be. Second fitting in an hour! On Friday the 13th! I might flip out.

deep breath

You got this, Dawn!

[Dawn, Dawnerys, Mother of Modding]

Oh but I haven't even gotten into what happened at the last fitting..

She seamstress pins it in the sides and says she's going to take in. I point out that the back in the butt area is really loose, and it's supposed to be tight. She says "Well to take that out, I'd have to take that in in around the zipper. I'd rather just do it at the seems.."

Wtf. So I say no, it's looks ridiculous, fix it. She brings out her manager, who says "yes, you have to take it in around the zipper, her back is oddly shaped right here and curves in."

So I'm oddly shaped.

So then she pins and marks around the zipper. Suddenly, "oops! Poked myself!" Leaves and gets a band aid, comes back and wipes at the dress with a napkin.

Bitch, did you just bleed on my dress?

Then proceeds to tell me that most dresses require 3 bustles, mine needs 11????

So yeah. I'm not full of confidence. I might.. flip.. out.. Lol :P

Da fuck?!

Can you ask for someone else?? Why does your dress require 11 fucking bustles?? My Step-MIL's dress had like 7-8 and it was super freaking complicated with a lace overlay.

[MrsJoseph *grouchy*, Bad Girls Deadlift]

And take a magnifying glass to check to make sure she didn't bleed all over your dress...

ANd chalk.

[Becky]

Or just get married in jeans, a tshirt, and flip flops. That's what I'd do. Weddings sound like way more hassle than they're worth.

[DoodlePanda]

That's why we only had 15 guests, got married at town hall and went out for a nice dinner after :)

No fuss.

[MrsJoseph *grouchy*, Bad Girls Deadlift]

I wish we had eloped. My cousin tried to tell me but...

[Chris , cookie guilt]

Fuck it. Elope. Ditch everyone equally.

[Dawn, Dawnerys, Mother of Modding]

The dress is the most important thing to me, for whatever reason. Some of you know that I was married before, and that it didn't end well. We eloped in jeans and t-shirts and my biggest regret (prior to it ending) was that I never even tried on a wedding dress. So now, I'm just looking forward to a real wedding and a real dress, I want all of the traditional stuff so I can finally experience it. Call me girly! I guess I am :)

The fitting went ok. The dress looks great from the front, but it was all bunchy and weird in areas on the back. There is some pleating that wasn't lying flat and seemed to have extra material. The lady tried to convince me it just wasn't going to lay flat.. The hell it won't! I'm paying you a lot to tailor it... So tailor it. She's giving it another shot. We'll see! MY next fitting is June 25.

[Becky]

Hell YEAH she better fix it. Tell her for every pleat that doesn't lie right on your wedding day, you're taking one of her fingers. I think she'll find that a persuasive argument for getting it right.

I understand. I spent an absurd amount of money on my dress and alterations, lol. I bought two, to be honest. One I hated right after I bought it.

Just don't let them stress you out.

[Dawn, Dawnerys, Mother of Modding]

Who's been to Mexico and has tips / advice for me? My honeymoon is at an all inclusive resort in Playa Del Carmen. I've never been anywhere.

Do we need to plan excursions before hand? Make dinner reservations before hand? Anything you didn't bring that you wish you did, or did bring that you didn't need, or did bring that was really helpful?

Any and all advice is welcome!

Never to Mexico but we do all inclusive:

-bring ALL of your own toiletries
-Only go on resort-sponsored outings
-Try to eat (and drink water) on resort even if you leave for an outing
-try to make dinner reservations - especially to the fancy spots - as early as possible
- make sure hubby has appropriate dinner clothes and shoes
- Avoid buying stuff from locals - they can be somewhat intimidating and/or sympathy getting. Either way, they will try to part you with as much of your money as possible.

Shaving
- I try to always shave the night before going swimming in the ocean. I'm not sure about Mexico but the oceans we've swam in had a painfully high salt content. So I shave the night before swimming in order to avoid the salt-sting the next day.

[Becky]

I've never been to Mexico, but they really do say not to drink the water: http://www.independenttraveler.com/tr...

Otherwise, I'd say that it never hurts to plan in advance and try to schedule your excursions ahead of time. July is high season, so it may be busy and you might have trouble with availability if you don't book in advance.

Also, I'd just say not to overbook yourselves. Leave yourselves unplanned time to just hang out on the beach or in bed or wherever... ;)

[HomeInMyShoes]

Take it easy on the fruit the first few days and only drink bottled water and you'll be fine.

Make sure your vaccinations are up to date. Get Hepatitis vaccinations if you haven't.

I've been to Playa Del Carmen a couple of times. It's nice. The restaurants for the most part are good. I'd avoid going out to the clubs outside the resort, but that's me and I'm not much of a nightlife person.

July is high season for Mexican travellers, but not so much for International travellers. I've only gone in January and February.

Do nothing. Over a week, any more than two excursions out and you'll be wasting what should be relaxation time. We always end up saying we didn't spend enough time doing nothing.

[MrsJoseph *grouchy*, Bad Girls Deadlift]

I agree with HiMS - do nothing.

Hubby and I never have a chance to do stuff - we're almost always slammed with stuff to do (mostly including drinking and lounging around in the sun).

[Becky]

I agree... I hate those vacations where you feel like you have to see and do everything. I always feel like I need a vacation to recover from my vacation. LOL

But, if you really do nothing, then you might regret not doing something. LOL So do some stuff, but leave yourself time for nothing. :)

[HomeInMyShoes]

I should probably note that my wife and I spent our honeymoon hiking mountain trails around the Banff, Jasper and Yoho areas.

[colleen the convivial curmudgeon, Not a book hipster!]

We went to Harry Potter World for our Honeymoon, but we got the three day tickets and had the express passes, so we had more than enough time to do everything and still take it easy - including going back to the hotel and taking afternoon naps.

I don't think I'd enjoy a vacation where we did nothing - I like seeing things and doing things. But I need plenty of downtime, too.

I like the idea of doing stuff, lol...

[Dawn, Dawnerys, Mother of Modding]

We don't want to do too much, stuff, but neither are we beach bums. I figure we'll snorkel, go zip lining, and see some ruins. The rest of the time will be spent eating, drinking, and chilling out.

If it's not onsite, yeah reserve it as early as possible.

Snorkeling sounds fun!


oh, check to see how far away the events are before booking - we never did ATV rides or zip lining because it was 3+ hours away.

[colleen the convivial curmudgeon, Not a book hipster!]

Speaking of doing things, we're looking to book an England/Scotland/Ireland trip this year. On one hand, I kinda don't want to do the package tour thing, on the other, though, I can't be arsed to try and do all that planning myself... so package it is. Just gotta find one...
