Fuck them, David! I mean, really.
This is along the lines of "do as I say, not as I do," of course, given that I went back to my office the day after I got fired to clean stuff up and make lists of what needed to be done.
I fed off a flowerperson, and I spent the next six hours watchin' my hand move.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

This sounds rather...unappetizing.

The last time we went to Ikea, we bought so much stuff that... we had to make "Baby got flatpack" our new theme song.

Things I did not do at my wedding: take my husband's last name, toss the bouquet (It was pretty and I wanted to keep it), have DH toss the garter (It was pretty and I wanted to keep it), jump the broom, light "unity" candles or any other such thing, do the cake in the face smash, have a money tree/bag/pin money on the bride (although this I might've liked), ask anyone to make any sappy reception speeches (although that didn't stop my cousin from making one anyway), get announced as Mr. and Mrs. X (due to the whole no name change thing).
I did have my parents give me away (both). And we did feed each other cake (no smashing it in each other's faces thank heavens). And of course, there was the Electric Slide, which is the one true wedding ritual.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Cake in the face is a wedding tradition? Yucks.
I don't know from the Electric Slide, but I do a mean Macarena.

My question for the children with both names-- which is their children's name?
So John Smith marries Jane Winters-- their child is Julie Winter Smith. When she gets married will her child be Jeff Winter Smith husbands first last name husbands last lastname and have four names?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Same here. Well, we did have a money dance. That was fun, if only to watch the bidding wars.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Could be as early as next week.
Awesome! We should have a Buffista party on the day Shrift gives notice.
I started the looking-for-a-new-job process by sending a whiny email to a former cow-orker who may have some advice for me. Gotta make a lunch date.

We ate cake and Nora had a full complement of old, new, borrowed and blue.
I think that's about as far as we went on traditions.
No wonder we still fight about Macaroons.
