Awesome Matt!

Thanks katefate!

I havent been here for more than 2 1/2 hours before I had to take my first smoke break.

Matt, your picture made me do the Paul Gross arms. Good on ya!!

{{{Callaluna}}} Breathe, sweetie. I actually enjoyed the hell out of my wedding. The only meltdown I had was when my parents did the final walkthrough of the space with me and started snarking about the charges and the sound system and saying they could have gotten a better deal. They plainly could not have (it was a *great* deal and they lived 3000 miles away), and I offered to give them their money back, because I didn't want to hear it.

Anyway. I had a very good wedding. If I get married again, though, it'll be on a beach somewhere with only a few people. Yes.

Are billytea and I the only two people on the planet who don't wish they'd eloped?

My parents offered us a wedding or cash. I wanted the cash, but DH wanted the wedding. I'm glad we had the wedding. Ours was fun and low pressure. Someday I'll have to scan some pics. It was 25 years ago, so no digital pics.

The internal bra intrigues me and then I think about screws in my ribs and get as wincy as I do over any kind of boob surgery.

Seriously.

Hypothetically, could two people get married online (with them in different physical locations)? Has this already happened?

I seem to recall a Russian cosmonaut getting married while he was in space and his fiance on Earth....

Aww. That makes me want to retroactively take you out for drinks.

I think we should go out for drinks anyway! (I'm sure it was just them reacting to the fact that they hadn't been able to be there for any of the planning, but sheesh. I'm a theatrical producer - I goddamn well know how to pick a space!)

I have significant doubt that I'll marry, but if I do, I don't think even my mother's strongest guilt trip could keep me from eloping. Hi, being the center of attention: DO NOT WANT.

This is cool and weird: Lost daughter 'right behind you dad'

A father posed for a publicity picture in a desperate attempt to find the daughter he has not seen for ten years unaware she was just a few yards behind him.

Michael Dick scoured the streets of Sudbury, Suffolk, and looked through the electoral register searching for Lisa, 31, reports Metro.

After drawing a blank, he went to the Suffolk Free Press newspaper, which ran a story on his search.

The paper took a picture for the article, of Michael and his younger daughters Samantha, 22, and 10-year-old Shannon.

Lisa, a mother of three, discovered her father, 58, was trying to find her when friends mentioned the story.

And when she looked at the photograph, she realised she and her mother were just a few metres behind them and got in touch.

Mr Dick, a carpenter from Bow, East London, said: 'I couldn't believe it when Lisa told me. It is just pure coincidence that she was walking past.'

Yay! I love hearing wedding stories, especially from the Buffistas, who are wise enough to know that the wedding is the start of the story and not the end. And I can't see the gorgeous and glowy DJ wedding picture often enough.

I'm going to be in y'all's neck of the woods at the end of September for Folsom Street Fair.

Rock! Um, as long as you've got a little extra time budgeted in. I don't think the FSF is either baby- or 10-year-old boy-friendly. So it's a sad and tragic fact that we may have to instead meet up for gourmet grazing at the Ferry Building or cardamom ice cream and pirates on Valencia Street or something. Oh woes!

The kerfuffletta picture is magnificent.
