I have like a billion Portuguese family members but if I was getting married I wouldn't invite any of them tbh. The whole family thing is silly to me. If these people aren't in my life or even trying to be in my life why should I care about them? They just the same as any other stranger. A close friend is more family than that ffs. Ok I went on a rant lol. All I'm saying is it's not uncommon for certain cultures to have huge extended families. I'm guessing a lot of Asian culture would be the same. | ||

Then you get second cousins and cousins of there is room. You have a lot of friends :D. I have maybe 4 close friends and then another 2-3 others I talk to, there's more I've been friends with in the past but just lost touch so I don't really count that as a to my wedding invite lol. Would you count someone you never met but talk to a lot a close friend? | ||

Would you count someone you never met but talk to a lot a close friend? Easily. I say wow guildies and realistically its only like 4 people. MTG people would be a few though. Easily on the side of 20 or 30. As for people I've never met, I have met them but that's different right? Most people aren't going to fly half way across the country to go to secret mountain training to help someone detox. | ||

I'm guessing a lot of Asian culture would be the same. There's some of them I wouldn't invite. Some that would come with the package (my goddaughter has an awful mother, and the father/husband is my godfather, so the mother and bratty older brother would have to be there too), and others I'd invite anyway so I wouldn't have to trash them explicitly so they'd stop pestering as to why I wouldn't have invited them. Part is because I cba to deal with them more than necessary, part of it because if there's drama it also splashes over the rest of the family members, amongst who pretty much all live within "daily visit" distance, so they'd have to endure more than me despite not having done anything wrong.

I sure as hell hope my parents aren't like my aunts/uncles, where they have to invite random business partners/associates, relatives from Cambodia/France, old friends, try to squeeze in an asian band to sing songs where half the guests won't understand, and overall, random people who claim they've met you when you were still in diapers. Real quick way for that 50-60 to balloon real fast. | ||

One day, I will have Costco Pizza. http://www.costco.com/WarehouseLocatorView there are like 5 all around Philly. Also, Sams Club is the heathen store. You're [le]terally supporting Walmart.

Unless I assume everyone here has bad taste, which I suppose is possible. Average pizza, yes. But for the size and price? Tell me where else I can get an 18 inch pizza (given circumference, remember that's equivalent to over 5 8-inch pizzas, or 3.25 10 inch pizzas) for ~10 dollars, and where they don't skimp on toppings/cheese to make it cheaper. | ||

It's not 18 inch's of average but I'd rather pay 12$ for good then sub 10$ for average. I'm also willing to bet pretty much everyone has a place like this near them if they went looking for it. So yeah, don't settle for average. hmm...sorry, no, too frugal Edit: I use to live next to a great Neapolitan place, one Margherita w/ extra toppings for like 15 was delicious, but only enough for one meal. Whereas I can stuff myself for 3-4 meals on Costco Pizza for 10. Different purposes bro. | ||
