First wedding was fun for the guests. I had never thrown a big party and was very anxious about all the details, and my brand new MiL running around the reception alerting me to everything which she thought was "wrong" was not conducive to a nice evening. I know good music and good cake were higher on my planning list than my dress.

Second wedding was an elopement, which was fun for us. I also had a much better groom!

My boss has left for the day. How long do I need to stay here? too bad I took 2 hrs for lunch today.

Oooh, good music would DEFINITELY be important to me. In that I would want the wedding to be an awesome party. And good music is a huge part of that.

Good dress would be key in that pictures are a part of remembering a good party, and I would want to look awesome, so I would want clothes that make me look awesome. Etc etc.

I know a gay man and a lesbian who are married, but...they're really kinky freaky and I just don't even want to know. Except in how I already know too much (and they have plenty of sex with other people too. See "already know too much").

yeah, my brother knows a couple - woman identifies herself as a lesbian, man as a gay man, and they'll tell you they stayed together because the sex is so good. I just say huh alot when they come up in conversation, or the few times I've met them.

I know a couple like that too. Well, I know the wife, not the husband (as in, she's a old friend, he's the guy she married when she moved to NY). I've often wanted to ask her why she sees herself as a lesbian not bisexual but I have never had the nerve. I'm guessing it has to do with the fact that, for her, being a lesbian is her identity, and the actual sex of her sexual object is quite secondary to that. Whereas for me, being a woman would be how I'd define my identity.

I was just saying yesterday that I hope by the time I get married (if/when), dresses with sleeves are back in style.

It's in my closet.

While I don't think the dress would be the most important thing on my list by a mile, I'd certainly be open to doing what it took to get a dress in the style I like, even if it's not the perfect dress.

I knew a gay man/lesbian couple too. They never owned up to being gay, but since they were still sleeping with their own gender it didn't take too much math. The husband did give the wife an inscribed copy of Joy of Sex, and I always wish I hadn't read it.

The inscription, not the book.

Is this building design the most awesome ever? The blogger thinks not: Pixel building looks like it needs more time to render

The blogger seems to like it:

I sure would love to see something this fantastical and different pop up in a city

I kind of love that peacock dress.

SWINTON should wear it. Only formless and with some random thing on the shoulder.

I worried more about the location and comfort of my guests, because the age range was about 2 to 80, and I made them schlep a long way to see me married.

It was pretty fabulous! It remains the most awesome wedding location in the world!

Well, the blogger would like to see it, even if it looks like it's not done. So... well, it made sense in my head, anyway.
