Hey APW,

I got to spend just over twenty-four hours in Orange County last weekend for a family wedding. It was a huge and amazing Orthodox Jewish Wedding (the kind where a guest list of 250 is considered “on the small side”). It was a total delight, plus I rented this dress from Rent the Runway, which was A+. We stayed in a hotel I found through frantic last-minute Internet research (Orange County, California, is not exactly known for it’s hip hotels), called Laguna Beach House, and I recommend it to anyone.

Beyond that, like the rest of you, I spent the week worrying over the devastation in Houston. One of my former bridesmaids lives in Houston, and it has been awful to watch her and her whole family go through this. Here are some of the ways we can help.

But with that said, for most of you it’s a three-day weekend, so hit up your open thread before you go have a real-life drink.

xo,

Meg
