Some may remember I was B-listed for a coworkers wedding. I honestly don't mind, I was surprised I was invited at all, we don't really talk&I'm her superior. Not the point of the story but I wanted to...

My guest list is getting out of hand. My family on my dad's side is huge (6 aunts and uncles with 16 cousins who are 90% married with multiple children). I was lamenting to a friend about this, and...
