In English we need to write a rant for our coursework and the theme is germ-spreaders and bad personal hygiene. It would mean a lot if you guys could give me some points to rant about because I don t know what else to talk about.

I'm getting married this fall, and my cousins keep telling me I should do a "wedding week". Apparently this is a big thing in their family, as far as each day having a mini-themed celebration or something... but I've never heard of such a thing. They live across the country from me and are flying in for the week before the wedding and keep saying a "wedding week" would be so fun while they are here early... Anyone else have an idea what they are talking about? I haven't quite asked them yet because I don't want to sound naive, but will certainly discuss it at some point with them. Any initial input before I throw myself to the wolves? FYI - I'm a very tomboy, laid back person and my cousins are "girly" and a little high maintenance (not in a mean/annoying way, though). I love them, but just don't want to feel stupid.

My cousin s wedding on the weekend (we aren t close at all) and the invite says no children or something. i m 15, and my brother is 17, and both our names were written on the invite (including parents) sent to our house... was it by mistake or was it deliberately implying we were invited to the wedding too despite no kids allowed? what is usually considered children or kids at a wedding with none?
