My witch hat is from a secret place full of secret things made by secrets and it is possessed by my headgoblins and it has batteries and it lights up.

Turning 45 soon. For my birthday, I want to help raise money for some kids whose parents were kidnapped by ICE here in the Chicagoland area. If the video isn’t of interest, I hope the GoFundMe is: www.gofundme.com/f/show-solid...

I have to go do research and writing and stuff and while I’m doing that, I wish to invite you to send me photos of your autumn and Halloween decorations for my personal edification via posts on this platform. Thank you for your work.

Thank you, sir! I really appreciate that. I know I will still get nerves, but I think it’ll be a warm crowd and I know it’s not about me, it’s about celebrating the couple.

Thank you so much! Yes, I already wrote my remarks and they are approved by the bride. I also sent them a Google doc, which was very helpful for me to interview them long distance.

Spoken Maltese sounds like Arabic and Italian in a dance-off and Arabic is winning, I love it and understand 10% of it.

What is the proper way to say “welcome, everyone!” in Maltese? I get 55 answers online and the relatives who know are far away and/or busy!

I feel these details will be helpful for the general population, which is why I am sharing them here: 1.) No religion 2.) Outdoors under a tent 3.) I think about 100 people present 4.) Afternoon to early evening 5.) I have not gotten a spray tan (controversial!)

How long have you got until the wedding? What's the shape of the ceremony? I've officiated two weddings and my wife has officiated one, so I'm happy to share what I've learned! But first I want to know the contours of what you're officiating. How serious is it, what religious traditions (if any)?

If I can’t talk about our sacred Italian American father at this wedding I’m officiating, why are we even having a wedding?

I am officiating a wedding for the very first time, and while I did many years in the stand-up trenches, I remain nervous. The opening remarks have been vetted and approved by the bride. Pls advise on all other aspects of this, my debut as a priest rabbi spiritual leader via the Internet, thank you.
