Yemaya (Yemoja, Iamanja) is the orisha (goddess) of the ocean in Afro-Caribbean religions such as Santeria, and in many modern Pagan faiths. She is depicted as a mermaid in the ocean, or a woman in her 30s on land, where she wears flowing white clothes and blue beads. She is of mixed race, and is the particular guardian of mothers and children, and of those recovering from gender violence.
O Yemaya, Ocean Mother, bless me with wisdom and my child with safety.

Yemaya is a funny girl that’s also pretty. She most likely likes the color pink. She’s quiet until you get to know her but once you do she’s kinda loud funny and says uncalled for things that make the conversation not dry and funny. She probably has dark hair probably dark brown and she probably has dark brown eyes and she’s brownskin or darkskin and she’s either skinny or thick maybe slim thick but all and all she’s a good friend she makes people laugh easily and laughs a lot herself she’s also very smart but doesn’t feel like doing the work because shes lazy and rather have fun talking but she will either do it last minute or just not do it at all even though she’s very capable and likes to joke around all day.

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.
