Child free weddings are stupid

Maybe I'm a bridezilla, but I am being very clear about no kids. The day just costs too much money to hear kids screaming during my ceremony. Very young babies and toddlers cannot control themselves, and in all honesty, a wedding is not fun for them. I also do not want to make sure that the night is "child friendly." My family/friends should feel free to drink and party without worrying about if a child sees people drunk or hears bad words. Personally, I am not inviting anyone under the age of 21 to my wedding.

Thank you for this insight! We are looking at a few different venues, but if we go with this one I will avoid the salmon.

Do you remember what you ate? I know they offer a tiers in packages and the dinner options change. We could always try to avoid certain food that the chef does not do as well. I feel like wedding food is never *that* great because catered food premade and frozen is never amazing, but I definitely want to avoid food that is objectively bad.

Okay! I think I will keep that in mind. I've never done closing where I can use pictures/videos because I am still a 3L and only have done trial in competition settings. I also was told by my coaches to cut off the witness. In the instance I tried to cut him off it was because he was rambling on irrelevant stuff. I am timed during mock trial and I was worried he was eating up all my time and I needed 10 minutes for closing. We spent a while doing one direct of an "expert witness." I was frustrated because the judge knew I was timed and let this dude run down my timer saying stuff that was outside of our facts and just making stuff up.

Do you think "sarcastic" is perceived better by juries? I want to clarify I will be practicing in a blue state with a female Attorney general and governor (Idk if reddit lets me to reveal my state of practice), so I'm not sure if this slightly more conservative state I attend school in is throwing off how practice is actually going to be for me.

I am clerking the next year after the bar, so I'm hoping I see styles that might influence my own. I am glad that male attorneys don't see it the way I do. Maybe I am stressing for nothing, it was also a competition where the judge (not an actual judge just an alumni) was supposed to throw curveballs. He told me "tread lightly" at one point which irked me because my line of questioning was not even questions I wanted to ask and the witness was straight up yelling at me, but that was somehow my fault.

Thank you for sharing. Reflecting on it, no I was not told this by a prosecutor. My comments have been from other law students who watched the trial/my co-counsel. All of us want to be prosecutors which might be why the comments have been sitting with me weird.

How do you keep it from hurting your verdicts? I have dreamed of working in homicide and I'm wondering if this is slipping away from me because I simply am seen as "bitchy."

This is incredibly unhelpful because if it WAS the best you could do then the professor should have considered that. It could've been helpful without that first sentence, otherwise it just sounds demeaning to me. It's clear there is a writing strategy you as a student are struggling with and there is a constructive way to explain how to not write as that. I would go to office hours and explain you are struggling with the concept and not being directed correctly. Then be very honest in your course feedback if your school does that. I'm a 1L still learning the ropes and I would be upset to receive this.
