You don’t HAVE to bring a +1. The invitation just gives you the option. C’mon.

i would definitely stay on south beach as a single even if not into clubbing. for hotel deals, i don’t know how risk averse you are but i had really good luck with just booking with hotel tonight the day of the flight. there are so many options on south beach you’ll bound to have some availability and HT will have the best price. I’ve done this a few times for Miami

Agree that it’s a great dress and your friend is rude.

Anon at 9:32, you’re actually wrong about investments and the “best thing.”

Managing money is like eating: it gets deeply emotional and the best system is the one that you can keep doing indefinitely that gets you most of what you want.

My investment strategy probably gets me about 90% of optimal, but has the massive advantage of not pushing the emotional buttons I know I have. The worst financial strategy is to get all those emotional buttons pushed, and 90% or 95% of a theoretical ideal beats the pants off aiming for 100% and having a big blowup because it’s not sustainable.

Everyone has emotional triggers with money. Everyone. #1 step in investments is avoiding those.

This is exactly what we did/have done.

I was responding to Horse’s specific question of whether she needs to invite SO’s of the cousins *even though* cousins know others at the wedding, FWIW.
