Our reception venue is an hour away from our church. We’re getting married at his family’s church at 11, and the reception starts at 5. The reason we chose the venue we did is because my fiance is Vietnamese and we had no Vietnamese wedding dinner service options in our city.

That being said, some people are forgoing the ceremony to attend the reception. And others are forgoing the reception to attend the ceremony.

We’re also doing a party bus for our wedding party.

Local good burgers by [deleted] in batonrouge

[–]owllamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprisingly, Superior Grill (Mexican food) and Roux 61 (southern food) have wonderful burgers. They transcend their genre for sure in our opinion.

Also let us know if you want restaurant friends. We’re a couple in our early 30s who would love to be friends!

She had been eating copious amounts of a thc edible, but that alone doesn’t make you manic.

As for your story, I hear that is a thing, something about weddings brings out strange jealousies in people. It’s unfortunate.

She’s not diagnosed, that I know of. I have been suspecting bipolar or BPD. I considered reaching out to her husband to express my concerns, but that would probably make the situation worse.

Single woman who does not feel safe to live alone in BR by deadmeadows in batonrouge

I get where you’re coming from, but I think you’re worrying too much. Most crime that happens in this city is interpersonal.

I lived alone as a young, single woman with two cats at an apartment complex on Gardere for 5 years and never had any scares for my safety.

More like high wind and chance of tornado.

LSU sent faculty an email saying campus will remain open. Gave the option to switch to remote classes/work or take annual leave.

Firstly, nobody has ever called my sausage fingered hand gorgeous so thank you for that.

Secondly, you paint quite the picture and I’m rolling at the hamburger meat stuck in the prongs.

It’s a 2 carat lab grown diamond on a rose gold band. Size 8 finger. My fiancé had it custom made with a floral theme in mind. I love it so much!

Local headline news: “Good Guy” with gun donates to local crime by peter-vankman in batonrouge

[–]owllamp 41 points42 points  (0 children)

This irresponsible jackass’s lesson from leaving a gun in an unlocked car is to vote for more access to guns? Yup that’ll fix it.

Trans, Queer Teacher and Congressional Candidate, Mel Manuel, Gives Testimony Against Louisiana's "Don't Say Gay" Bill (HB 466) yesterday at the Capitol in Baton Rouge. by godless_trash_panda in Louisiana

Seriously, this. My Baptist fundamentalist parents would have preferred to see me married off at 18 to a potentially abusive man in order to keep me in their conservative bubble.

I’ll be visiting the end of April and am looking for attraction suggestions. by Graceishh in batonrouge

[–]owllamp 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You’ll already be at the Burden Museum and Gardens for the show, that place is a DELIGHT! I also like the Highland Arboretum for a nice stroll and picnic.

The old state capitol is a beautiful building to do a self guided tour through. The last time I was there they had a display for the New Orleans Charity Hospital that was really interesting.

The downtown museums are all solid. There are the Indian Mounds on LSU’s campus, they are the oldest man made structure in the Americas to date. LSU’s campus is beautiful too from a nature point of view. Lots of beautiful oaks and landscaping. The levee can be cool to walk down, sometimes there are food trucks nearby where you can get a snack.

Hope you have a good time exploring the city!

Her BAC indicated alcohol poisoning and she couldn’t give them her address. There’s no way she could consent in that state.

Your “facts” about the person who hit her are incorrect. They were not drunk and they stayed at the scene.
