I’m trying to never go back to the other place, but the thing I miss is that there was always a lively conversation going on somewhere. On lemmy, it seems people don’t want to just have a conversation-it’s either serious or techy- I’m looking for light conversations?

Does this happen anywhere on lemmy where responses to your comments come sooner than a day, and people are just sort of in the ‘lobby’ chatting?

Well, for light conversation...

My buddy got married today. I've known him since high school -- we've both been married and divorced since then, but we still hang out occasionally.

They had a dry wedding at his (now their) church, which was apparently where they had their second date. They're both super religious, so they match pretty well on that front, at least.

Congratulations to your buddy! I went to a dry wedding at a church once. The groom panicked and sent me out for liquor with the best man, so there we were in a church bathroom, 4 guys in their 30s, doing shots with a lookout at the door.

I sincerely wish them a lifetime of happiness

Yeah, I hope so. He's had a rough time of it lately, so it's nice to see things looking up for him.

Thanks for the well-wishes :D

My wife did see some people tailgating in the parking lot beforehand, ha! I haven't really been to any dry weddings that I recall (maybe when I was a kid?). I chuckled at the image of 30-somethings taking shots like teens sneaking off at school -- also unexpected!
