I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

There used to be this rhyme in a folklore book that was in my parents' house:

Married in yellow, ashamed of the fellow. Married in Blue, your lover is true. Married in Black, you'll ride in a hack.

I can't remember what green is.

ETA: Google to the rescue:

Married in white, you have chosen aright;
Married in red, you'd better be dead;
Married in yellow, ashamed of the fellow;
Married in blue, your lover is true;
Married in green, ashamed to be seen;
Married in black, you'll ride in a hack;
Married in pearl, you'll live in a whirl;
Married in pink, your spirits will sink;
Married in brown, you'll live out of town.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I don't really want to get married. But I would like the dress.

So go out a buy a dress. It's a lot easier than being married, I can tell you that much, Erin.

I was talking to DH today and I realized we've only been married 4 years. Waaay too much has happened in those 4 years. And hey, thank goodness he's been with me during all of it, but still.... I think I've really pushed my luck with the whole "in sickness and in health" clause.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Married in Blue, your lover is true.

Aww, my mom was married in blue! Yay.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I have three weddings to attend between April and October. That's 3 opportunties for new dresses, provided I have funds.

I am starved for some new clothes. It sounds horrid and selfish and awful, but I haven't bought anything new in so long, and I want to get something springy and light and girly and lovely. Something that I don't have to worry that it will go with everything else I own, or be work appropriate.

I want some shoes that AREN'T black.

I want to spend $75 on something besides prescriptions or electricity.

I want to pay someone to dig their thumbs into my iron-rod shoulder muscles for an hour. And not talk to me, in a dark room with fluffy music playing.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Hmm. Kat and ita gave different answers to my VCR question. I guess I have to think about it and decide on my own.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Whoa. I've been married longer than you. That seems wrong somehow.

Aww, my mom was married in blue! Yay.

So was mine. Well, blue pinstripes.

Married in pearl, you'll live in a whirl;

Does ivory = pearl?

My mom was married in red, the second time around.

Married in red, happy in bed?

Married in green, life is a dream?

I don't know,I would think yes. And what does it mean to live in a whirl?

Let's just assume a tornado of happiness.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It sounds horrid and selfish and awful

How? I think you should have all those things.

Me, I can have no more dresses, until I've worn the ones I've got. Between hand-me-downs, and this one shop in MI (it's like she shopped for me -- I could go in any time I was in the neighbourhood and pick up something that looked good and fit right with a minimum of actual effort. And she knew just what to bring to the dressing room), I have too many still.

I've slightly dented the list since moving to LA, but it's a long road ahead of me, with no actual dates and stuff.

Lee, I'm right. Ignore Kat.

Burrell -- weird -- it seems like you and the DH have been married for the longest time (in a good way, natch). How long did you date beforehand?
