'Time Bomb'
[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.

My "idea" is: small ceremony with just our immediate families at Tim's parents' house (their house is secluded, and backs up onto woods, and there's a picnic shelter type thing [not a gazebo], and it's the best way I can think of to have Tim's mom be a part of it), and a giant party later (later that night, or the next day, or weeks/months later).
This is a perfectly viable plan.
And once you get married, people will start asking you about kids!
But seriously, your proposed wedding sounds lovely.
TCG said "Thank you, buffistas" for reminding me to put the beer in the fridge today. He is currently drinking the Maine Beer Company Peeper beer.
"When is the wedding???!!!"
"Can you keep a secret?"
"Yes!"
Smile warmly and say, "so can I."
I agree that the wedding you described sounds lovely.
Also, that Zenkitty's plan is excellent.
I picked up a Peeper the last time I was in New England and enjoyed it quite a lot.
Oh, yeah, beer. I have beer. I need beer. What should I do?
Yeah, *I* want to take some time to enjoy your engagement, Teppy, so you damn well should be able to. And also, you are TOTALLY ALLOWED to be All Engagement All the Time for a while here.
Teppy, laugh at everyone who asks. Just laugh out loud. If they don't get how crazy the question is based on your laughter, then laugh at how stupid they are. If y'all wanna elope, take a trip out here to CA, and I'll hitch ya.
Oh, and for the record, just had a THREE hour home owners association meeting. THREE HOURS! ow.
