Maps.. in case you forgot where you live.

Forget where’s the beef….

This map clearly asks where’s the cacio e pepe?

Way to go New Hampshire.

.

.

I’ve been to northwestern Maine and can vouch for this.

.

.

We bypassed Paris on my one and only trip to France and did Provence and the Côte d’Azur instead. Never regretted it.

.

.

My husband and I paid $6 for the license and tipped the Justice of the Peace $30.

41 years later… believe me when I tell you it’s not about what you spend.

This makes no sense whatsoever.

.

.

To be honest we never used to. Most Mainers didn’t. But now, we do… and that’s sad.

  1. Well, I was going to write “Is that an ice cream cone in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?” but then I saw that the only place that forbids carrying an ice cream cone in your pocket is the place with the highest rate of door locking. Maybe if they carried their ice cream cones in their pockets, folks would be less likely to try to break into their houses to steal them.

  3. I have been known to wander around relatives’ houses in other states (New Hampshire, mostly!) and make sure the doors are locked. We had a drunk dude in LA try and get into our house once. But most folks aren’t interested in meeting our dogs.

  5. We would have loved to had all the money spent on our wedding just handed to us. It would have been much more of value to us. Growing up, doors were made to be open. Boy did the script flip on that…

  6. I lived in Paris years ago as an au pair taking classes in French at the Sorbonne. I was very poor, very young, and Paris was at times a very cold place but also at that time very beautiful. I met some great people from the provinces. I have no desire to revisit the City, but the country areas were beautiful. I can tell some great stories from then.

      1. Same! I’d prefer something low attention. Marriage license fees just doubled here, to just under $200, but that’s still a good deal!

        I also like the idea of tattooed wedding bands… no hiding that commitment!

  11. Growing up in the 70’s we didn’t in Pa…even though the state average is $33k for a wedding ours was 5k total (her dress free, she crocheted flowers because i am allergic, we both had small wedding parties (best man, maid of honor, ring boy), church/reception at chuch, cheapest dj, photographer, cake)…obviously more than you, but my wife wanted a church wedding and we tried to go as cheap as possible

  12. I guess CT is the paranoid sister in New England. Ours are locked. One the other hand, we were married in our living room and we took the wedding party (7 people) out to dinner. 42 years and counting.

  13. I beg to differ with the “remoteness” map of Texas. There is NOTHING between El Paso and Lubbock, Amarillo and Dallas. There is maybe one or two homes on those long stretches of highway, so that map is clearly wrong, lol. And how did that law come into existence where it’s illegal to carry an ice cream cone in your pocket? I want to know!

    1. If you look at the key, “remoteness” is measured by the distance to the nearest road. If it is not trackless wilderness, it would not be “remote” by that standard. There doesn’t have to be anything ON that road, just a road.
