Fallout from the shower finally happened. Apparently step-mother's family stared daggers at her all day and we shouldn't refer to TCG's stepmother as his stepmother because that is offensive to her.
Xander, don't speak Latin in front of the books!

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

“Not dead yet!”
Oh hell, sj-- elope. It's simply not worth this. It should be your day, not the day to indulge everyone else's neuroses.

Wow. She sure knows how to hold a grudge. That's just ridiculous. I'm so sorry, babe. Hang in there!

Thrive to spite them
Eloping seems to be a common choice, my SIL has photographed quite a few elopements.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
TCG's dad didn't start dating the stepmom until 6 years after the divorce, so there is no grudge to hold. Eloping is a definite. Family party after the elopement is in question now.

Oh, no. I meant from the shower. That's just insane that she's still talking about it. Ridiculous.
Do what you want, babe. Do what you want. And remember...you're not marrying TCG's mom...you're marrying TCG.

Sorry, vw. She hadn't seen us in person since then so she hung on to it. It's what she does.

Happy birthday, Ginger! My retroactive birthday wish will make this week totally sugar, but also accident free.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Sorry the stepmother is tetchy on the topic of her stepness. Sounds like a great time to refer to her affectionately using the diminutive of her given name that annoys her most, in the most cheerfully oblivious fashion possible.
