Last week I was visiting my parents for dinner, and we got to talking about their inheritance.

Couple removes friends from their wedding party after they refuse to spend $3500 on a trip: ‘[She] stated that I was a bad friend’
Everyone reserves the right not to go to your wedding. As much as you might want them there, they simply don’t have to go. They can do the best they can to try to attend, if they’re super close to the couple, but if something else comes up you cannot blame them. It might seem …

The jolly jesters who joke the most in their friend group often come from a place of having seen some stuff. Everyone goes through some monumental moment in their lives, more often traumatic than uplifting, but these moments help shape them into who they are.
