Ask Amy: We already have too many wedding guests, and now there’s this problem

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:31:38 GMT

Dear Amy: I have casual friends who offered their property to host my daughter’s wedding. It is an expansive, beautiful property.We hesitantly but politely declined, as it would be too risky to plan the wedding without a tent, and a tent could not fit into the space.However, I then asked if they would be willing to allow us to have the shower at their property, and again they generously offered us exclusive use – for free.I am beyond blessed by this and I am so excited to have my daughter’s bridal shower there.My question is this: Should this couple be invited to the wedding, as a way to thank them for their generosity?We have been trying very hard to cut down the guest list, which is already over our limit.They are not close friends, and they don’t know our daughter and her fiancé. However, I feel like I am not returning the generosity.What should I do?– Want to be PoliteDear Polite: If you had accepted the couple’s offer to host the wedding at their property, it would have been po...

Louisiana Pushes Ahead With Building Carbon Pipelines in Cancer Alley

Deep in the wooded hills above Satartia, Mississippi, on an evening after weeks of rain, a patch of soaked ground collapsed.That was all it took.With a tremendous roar, the two-foot-wide Delhi pipeline ruptured, blowing a 40-foot crater into the side of a slope. A cool fog drifted downhill from the blast site and rolled across the highway into the tiny town.Jerry Briggs, fire coordinator for neighboring Warren County, was quickly on the scene. He assumed the pipe was spewing natural gas; such pipelines crisscross the region. But as his team rushed to help the victims, what they saw didn’t make sense.People were acting like “zombies,” dazed and walking in circles or gazing back blankly as responders yelled for them to evacuate. Others convulsed, drooling, as panic-stricken family members called 911.In the end, 49 people were hospitalized. Some still have symptoms and struggle with post-traumatic stress disorder.It wasn’t until about an hour after the February 2020 explosion that the ...

Real Madrid goes for its third straight win to start the Spanish league behind red-hot Bellingham

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:31:38 GMT

MADRID (AP) — Jude Bellingham’s promising start with Real Madrid has quickly helped quell some of the disappointment prompted by Karim Benzema’s departure and the club’s failure to bring in Kylian Mbappé.Madrid’s top signing so far this year got off to a red-hot start, scoring once in the team’s 2-0 win at Athletic Bilbao in the Spanish league opener and twice in the 3-1 win at Almeria last weekend. Bellingham will be attracting all the attention again when Madrid visits Celta Vigo on Saturday to try to stay perfect.His arrival brought plenty of excitement to Madrid fans hopeful he could make an instant impact and boost the team’s midfield, and his early performances exceeded even some of the most optimistic expectations.Most importantly, they gave Madrid assurance that it has an important attacking option in a sector of the squad that had many fans worried because of its lack of depth. Madrid lost Benzema and three other forwards in the offseason — Eden Hazard, Marco Asensio and Ma...
