Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Congrats to the brides!!!!!!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Sadie, Sadie, married lady... Congratulations to you both!

Congratulations to Seska and the Missus!
I hope that TCG's step-grandmother's pain can be brought under control soon, sj. And that whatever happens next is as peaceful as possible for everyone.

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.
Lots of pain-easing-and-peace~ma for TCG's stepgrandmother.
{{{{{Shir}}}}} What a stressful situation for you at work. I hope it doesn't crap on you too hard.

Yep. I'm about to start handling this today. I'm somewhat frightened.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Whee for married ladies!
Best of luck, Shir.
On a personal note - well, shit. The anxiety attack that I've felt building for days and both put off/heightened by immersing myself in Hunger Games is good and truly here. And me with no Valium. I've taken Benedryl and melatonin, and yet sleep seems very far away. Grump.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Morning, all! Thank you SO much for all the good wishes and congrats. I had the most unbelievably wonderful day yesterday. I had to be on a LOT of painkillers (of several kinds including one that’s only legal in Israel!) to get through it, so I felt a bit disconnected at times. But it was absolutely perfect. We got our outdoor ceremony – very-warm-blooded Sharon (TG) was freezing throughout the whole thing, but it didn’t rain! We set up for the ceremony in an incredible location by a stream in the gardens that we were using – pictures will absolutely follow. There was a chuppah, and friends played piano and flute for the hymn, and our mothers read the ketubah in Hebrew and English, and I said the Jewish ring vow in apparently-understandable Hebrew. And then there was a barbeque and a swing band and delicious cake (gluten free version for me). I’m exhausted and probably need a few days in bed, but it was so worth it! The most incredible thing was that Sharon’s parents were there, right through to the meal, even though her father is very ill and we were worried he wouldn’t make it. After they went home (a bit early as her father needed sleep), Sharon did a speech (which was very funny), and she ended by telling us how much it meant to her that her parents were there, and made everyone cry. Other amazing highlights: having my own priest conduct the service, so that the sermon was by someone who knew us well; Jewish and Irish blessings to end the service; my father’s beautiful poem for the service and ridiculously funny speech later; seeing friends I hadn’t seen for months or years; tea and scones on the lawn before it all started; how utterly beautiful Sharon looked. And lots of other things that I’ll think of later. Someone asked if Sharon was going to be The Wife instead of The Girl now, but I think the moniker has rather stuck and she’ll be a Girl when she’s eighty-five. Happiness!
Unfortunately The Girl’s dad is really unwell today and running a fever, and they may have to take him to hospital. I’m trying not to feel guilty about this, after making him sit outside in the cold for an hour. Hmm.
Andi, that was a beautiful blessing. Thank you!
Good luck with the website and publicity, Wordslinger Erin!
The premise of the May 12 2011 date is sketchy, at best.
I’m fairly sure that the entire premise of the rapture is sketchy at best.
Can’t find the cartoon, Typo, but great caption!
Thoughts for sleep and feeling better, smonster.

Seska, I'm tearing here. I'm so happy for you and that you had everything you wanted, in the end.
Much ~ma to Sharon's father.
And out of curiosity...
(of several kinds including one that’s only legal in Israel!)
Which one is it?
smonster - oh, dear. Much ~ma to you, too.
