It looks like someone upended a kid's clear plastic LEGO set to me.

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'm familiar with the concept of culturally gay heterosexuals from theatre, maybe they're just culturally gay bisexuals?

It was pretty fabulous!

Thanks! I have to say, when I was thinking about what I wanted my wedding to be (in those days before I had the groom picked out) I forgot that he would have opinions, too. Some of his opinions were terrible - he didn't think we needed chairs at the ceremony - but many of them where honestly what he wanted his wedding to be and I'm glad that the day turned into something we both worked out together.

I want a marching band at my wedding. Other than that I'm not sure (aside from awesome groom, and as many friends and family as possible, a decent spot, good food, and lots of booze, and me looking gorgeous! but specifics I don't know. And have no reason to know yet!)

I may be composed of Strega anti-matter.

Weirdo!

Well, okay, I'm pretty sure it's me that's in the minority.

The problem with coasters and such is that my automatic response to scary things is to focus on staying calm. Which might a useful reaction at times, but if I'm meant to be enjoying an adrenline rush it's kind of counterproductive.

I've never been to a wedding where the attendants clothes were paid for by the couple/couple's family.

My mom helped pay for my attendants' dresses because they were fairly expensive. Mom & Dad paid for the whole wedding, which was a huge help. But we did a lot to keep costs down--making our own food, etc.

I understand wanting to feel pretty and have the day be special. I felt like a princess.

Ginger, you were a lovely bride. I love this picture of you.

Gracie's brush off of Noah's affection slayed me.

ugh - I have just found out about a set of circumstances that I can no way come clear of without making a friend upset. I was left off the email about a memorial service and now I can't be there. This will not be understood, no matter what is said to my face.

ugh, msbelle.

I can't control the circumstances or other's reactions. At a different place in my life I could drop things and switch directions on a dime, but now I can't and it is exhausting to feel like you have to apologize for not meeting expectations over and over and over.

I can't control the circumstances or other's reactions.

yeah, but it still can be hard to deal with. I'm sorry.

Never really had a "Special Day!!1"...would like to, if not to the point that I'm a bitch about it. But, still, 20 grand for a dress?!
