Why is a destination wedding (renewal of vows) considered to be 'selfish'?

The original wedding is where they got input. This is your vow renewal. This is just for you and the hubby. You've done the best you could to include them. If they want to go, they'll go. If not, you go anyway. This isn't a gift grab. This is a renewal of YOUR vows. Not your family's.

Can someone please explain this to me who is ex-military?

Ok, so I am a military veteran who has some extenuating circumstances. Specifically, can anyone suggest to me how someone in my shoes is to become "normal" and live a typical American life? Specifically, what I mean is this: I got out of the Marines roughly six years ago, moved in with my bro in law as a roommate, got a manufacturing job, got laid off, and returned to school. Unlike most veterans, I did NOT grow up in the same small redneck town in the south or the midwest all of my life nor did I live in the SAME large city for all of my life while growing up. In other words, I got moved to different cities on three separate occasions as a child. One of my goals upon exiting the service was to be able to find someone, get married, FINALLY earn a college degree, and settle down. Sadly, NONE of that has come to fruition for me. After the plant that I worked at closed down, I started going to college and have exceeded in an academic sense. The problem for me is that college is socially isolating because I am almost an entire decade older than everyone else and due to the fact that a large majority of the people at the college that I attend are natives of the town that I live in. In other words, I am considered an outsider by them. The women who are in their early 20s at school also consider me to be too old for them and they won't even look at me. Moreover, I have met a few female military veterans at school and, WITHOUT exception, they are ALL presently already married to someone. The town that I live in is in one of the rocky mountain states and it is now all mostly active duty army and air force. However, the town that I currently live in FORMERLY had a thriving tech sector that has now all but dried up. So, perhaps I should consider moving out of state. I tried to get into some really good and DIVERSE colleges such as UT-Austin and UNC-Chapel Hill, but I wasn't accepted. I feel trapped in my situation because I want better for myself, but I feel that my hands are tied. The natives in the town that I live in absolutely hate Californians, Texans, and anybody who is from the southeast (such as myself). So, if you were me, would you continue to try to transfer to a college somewhere in the southeast where I grew up if you were in my shoes? I cannot afford out of state tuition so that is honestly the MAIN thing that is holding me back from moving at this point. Sadly, it appears as if my only option is to suck it up, stay here in this town, and graduate. Most importantly, my MAIN concern is that the college that I attend is NOT the flagship college of the state that I live in and I am worried that that will negatively impact my ability to find employment out of state because I am DEFINITELY moving out of state when and if I graduate from where I currently attend.

Did I cut my door frame too high for installing laminate wood floors?

I'm installing 12mm laminate wood flooring and I was following the directions about how to cut the door frames but I'm not sure I like how it looks. The directions say to line the wood floors up next to the door frame and mark 5/16 of an inch above that height to allow for expansion. Does this seem right? Will the floors possibly expand upward that much? After seeing how goofy it looked I started looking elsewhere for advice and everything else is saying to cut the door frames flush with the floor. Now the more important question, assuming I cut the frames to high, how can I fix this mistake? Caulk, quarter-round over door trim, anything other than replacing the door trim? Thanks.
