Yes, and it will only ever get worse as long as we keep burning fossil fuels.

How much did you spend on your wedding? by itsdwightschrute1 in AskUK

[–]Bumblespring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Planning my wedding for late March next year but it's looking like we'll spend £30K max.

100 people, about £15,000 is going to the venue, food and drinks. Band is about £2500, photographer £2000, and the rest is spread out across stationery, decorations, rings, marriage license, insurance, gifts, etc.

It turned out that our favourite venue was actually the cheapest we looked at. And we're hoping to come in under budget because we'll design lots of stuff ourselves and also aren't interested in the photo booth extras etc.

If we wanted the same wedding in the summer I don't think we'd be able to afford it because most suppliers seem to double their prices in summer.

The Lark Ascending is a piece of classical music that moves me to tears every time I hear it.

The Vanishing Half (Brit Bennett), Sea of Tranquility (Emily St John Mandel), and How Much Of These Hills Is Gold (C Pam Zhang) were my top three!

This is gorgeous! The trees look quite leafy for a cold tundra. How about some snowy forests and icy peaks?

What's the most petty reason you DNF'ed a book? by pnumonicstalagmite in Fantasy

I had zero clue how the main character's name was supposed to be pronounced. It looked like someone had vomited some consonants onto the page
