I come from a Chicago Italian family where weddings are very formal, regimented events. In college, I attended a mid-summer wedding in Iowa held in a church. Nice, formal wedding followed by a backyard reception with kegs of coolish beer and warm ham sandwiches. The members of the wedding party and all the guests changed into shorts, jeans, and T-shirts except for me. I didn't know about the costume change and wore a suit in 90-degree heat and 90% humidity while everyone got shit-faced and food poisoned from the rancid mayo in the potato salad, which I skipped when I saw flies on it. People were shitting behind the garage because there weren't enough toilets for all the sick people.

Honestly, if I could like put a measurement on it, it was like a 12 out of 10. It was, like, if there was a unit that I could measure, it was a 12 out of 10.

"My ex-boss, an absolutely lovely, hilariously funny woman, was diagnosed with stomach cancer. She had put incredible time and effort into making the day special for her only daughter. One week before the wedding, she died. It had been so quick and shocking. Her daughter did not want to go through with the wedding, but her father and stepfather both insisted because her mother had put such time, love, and effort in."
