So my wedding is taking place in the southern US next month...

Congratulations!

[KD]

My mom has been saying that as long as the land borders are open,

When is the wedding?

End of November, so we're good.

Sounds like a great itinerary.  Here's hoping everything works out just right for everyone involved!

Big congrats.  So was there any particular reason you guys chose to plan a marriage in the states?  Do you have a lot of family there, maybe you or your wife grew up in the area?  Just seems like if someone is doing a destination wedding these days they typically either choose Vegas, Disney, or someplace in the Caribbean.

November is a great month , we at year 42
Our son got married last December, during lockdown, maximum number of people 10, 
I think he was happier with that size  😁

Thanks all!

We do have a lot of family there, and pre-COVID, it seemed like the more logical solution.

Did you make the cut    . Seriously though congrats to him and I can see the appeal of a small wedding

Congrats TheHire!

My brother and SIL did a small wedding with immediate family only.  Church service, dinner and I was out of my suit by 8 pm.

If you are in Ontario, check you driver license and health card for the expiration date , they do not send out a letter telling you it is time to renew it
It only takes 5 mins to do it online

OMG we now have a generation of retail staff that simply can't make change when you pay with cash. 

Also, stupid retail policies/procedures:

So my wife orders my little guy a fall jacket online, and because we spent over $100 we got 50% off the order.  As ridiculous as that sounds.  So it's too big, and I run into the brick and mortar store to do an exchange.  Keep in mind, the 50% discount is applied to the bottom line, not individual items.  So I' assuming I need to do an exchange to maintain my pricing.

Girl: Umm, online order, can't do an exchange, but I can refund and you can re-buy.
Me: Sure, whatever
Girl:  Okay, your refund is xxxx
Me: Wait a minute, that's more than we paid
Girl:  No no, look, it says right there on your receipt you payed $39.99 plus tax
Me:  The 50% discount at the bottom?
Girl: Blank stare.  Please tap your card.
Me: Well, I'm not gonna argue with you....
Girl: Okay, your total today on your purchase is $22.99
Me:  Umm, that's a lot less than my refund?
Girl: We have 50% off today!

Was at the hardware store and someone wanted to pay with a "cheque".  I'm guessing small contractor or business or something.

Clerk behind counter didn't know what a cheque was and had to call the manager.

No joke.

Just from speaking with her, it was that obvious that she also wasn't able to spell?
