Stick to funerals
Beer Street and Gin Lane (1751), by English painter and engraver William Hogarth (1697-1764).

The recent melee at a wedding party in Newport reminded me of why I prefer funerals to weddings: The attendees are more dignified, the music is better and the outcome is certain for the key protagonist – the deceased. Samuel Johnson said about second marriages that they’re the triumph of hope over experience; I suppose you could say the same thing about most legal contracts.

It takes a lot of work to keep in touch with old friends, and sometimes you find that they no longer have the interest or energy to be kept in touch with. And then they and you die.
Dispersal! Entropy!
