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

The movie I'm watching just made me buy Smooth by Santana. Why do I never learn? I only have it twice already in iTunes. At least I've rated it now. But I am out 99¢.

Is it Keeping the Faith ita? I love the "Smooth" montage in that flick.

For what it's worth, none of the weddings I have officiated have ever included either 'obey' or 'death.' Even the most traditional couples don't ask for it.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

My wedding could have included "we've replaced his wedding vows with Folger's Crystals, let's see if he notices" for all I know, it all being in Mandarin.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I hate buying music and then realizing I already owned it. It's happened ... well more than twice. Clearly *I* am the fool in that situation.

Folger's = twu luv?

I've done that with board games. In my defence, while waiting for the first one to arrive.

That's worse, not better.

Bonny--called it in one. The movie is giving me great squick, though. I have old-friend-kissing issues, and breaking-the-vows issues.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I believe ours included 'til death. But I don't remember a lot of it -- the whole getting married in vegas on our way to CA didn't really lead to lots of choices - or even interest in the details.

I didn't get married until I actually already felt married. for me -- that means life partner - -and the point of getting legally married was to make sure the State and everyone else recognized it.

Score!

While I don't have the old-friend squick, I'm with you on the breaking the vows thing. But there are other things I just love about that movie. Milos Foreman chief among them. And Ann Bancroft and the electronics store guy and Cuddy! I have a great fondness for it.
