Job ~ma for Matt!
Whee! It is wedded bliss day! Can't wait to see the pictures.
I skipped. Will likely skip again. I'm trying to be grateful for all the work I have to do, but I miss being social.
Bar maid! Bring me stronger ale! And some plump, succulent babies to eat!

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Have fun storming the... courthouse gazebo
Ha! Thanks, tommy; I don't think I can storm anywhere in the shoes, but in case of zombie attacks, they will be hella good stabbers!
(OH, MY GOD: "...And The Bride Stabbed Zombies!" Next, in my series of preternatural thrillers!)
(Funny thing about English and Hebrew. Mazal Tov, in Hebrew, use for "congrats!", but means literally "good luck!". And the word for Good luck, in Hebrew, means literally "congrats!". Doesn't matter - I, for one, wishing you both).
Hee. I am going to have a wee Jewish stepson here in 6 1/2 hours, so I feel Hebraically blessed.
Thanks for all the well-wishing, everyone! I am just sipping my coffee and gathering my thoughts before I spring into an action packed day of action. It's a beautiful day here.

Happy Wedding Erin!
My wife kept her name too. There's the occasional confusion, but really not very much.

My girlfriends are almost exactly split down the middle re: keep/not keep.
I did debate it mildly for a bit, but I came down to "If I get my Ph.D/ever have anything published, I want to be Dr. Griggs, not Dr. J."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Squee! WEDDING!!!
Of the four couples-with-kids in our bulding that we regularly hang out with, I'm the only one who changed my name. My maiden name was a PITA to spell.

Well, yeah, you wouldn't want to be confused with Julius Irving, the famous forward of the Philadelphia 76ers

Well, now, I WOULD like to be mistaken for him: "Damn, we were expecting a very tall older black man who used to play basketball and now have a doctorate in literature!"
"Well, ya got ME!"

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Wallybee kept her name too. Taking the husband's name is pretty much unknown in China. (Kids still get their father's name. In Ryan's case, the way we see it, he has an English name and a Chinese name. His English name uses my surname and his Chinese name uses Wallybee's family name.)

That reminds me that you were in a dream last night! It was a normal boring type dream just socializing at a park or dinner or something. You and your wife and kids and my family. Thing that clued me in to the dream state was that your wife was Stephanie! Then I was trying to figure out whether the kids were yours or hers since I knew I was dreaming, but I couldn't figure it out since I didn't recognize them. You and Stephanie didn't think anything was off.
I took Brendon's name since he likely wouldn't have wanted me to keep any of my previous married names and it had been almost 20 years since I used my maiden name. Also Laura Holt suited me fine.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
