Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Anne!
It's still snowing here. At some point I will shower and dress, and maybe even go out. What a concept!
Saffron: But we've been wed. Aren't we to become one flesh? Mal: Well, no, uh... We're still two fleshes here, and I think that your flesh ought to sleep somewhere else.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
How are the wedding plans coming along?
As little as possible. Now that we have the basics like time and date squared away, I've decided that the way to stay sane and not get sucked into all the incredible weirdness is to convince myself that it's just a big fun party, but with vows. Because I can pull together a big fun party without huge drama about the table runners and the bridesmaid's earrings not being exactly matching shades of puce.

Atta girl. I was thinking of you, because I was leafing through the JC Penney catalogue, and there were some very pretty dresses--not bridal attendant dresses, just dresses, and I think they were something like $69.00. I don't even know if you're having anyone stand up with you, but I saw them, and thought if I was getting married now, I'd take a look at them in person.

We did all our planning in four months and on a budget and in a much more relaxed fashion than many weddings, and I hear the thing went off pretty well, though I barely recall the day. I'm convinced that wedding stressing is a totally not-needed thing. Go you!
Things a wedding needs: Bride; Groom; Tasty Cake-like Substance. All else is optional.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Happy Birthday, Empress!
The snow is still coming down west of DC.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
The snow is still coming down here, though not as much as a few minutes ago. Looks like we've maybe got a new half an inch since last night.

Happy Birthday, Anne!
Oh dear lord am I tired. Getting up at 8 on a Sunday after being up most of the night is evil. Someone wire me up to the caffeine IV drip, STAT.

I never knew about the Chicken Dance, until I started dating my husband, and attended his family's weddings with him. Now, we grew up about 5 miles from each other, are only 3 years apart in age, and hold some ethinicity in common, but I was spared the chicken dance until my early/mid-twenties.
We did the Hora (I think to Hava Nagila, unless Hava Nagila was also played), and some Greek wedding dance. We're not Greek in the least, and although some names in one line of the family tree indicate we may have had Jewish ancestors, as far as we can find back (a few centuries) they all identified as Christian.
