Um, seriously, guys, I didn't bring it up so you could all start dumping on my best friend's choice of wedding venue. I think having a small ceremony in a Scottish castle is a fabulous idea, and I'm more than happy to fly out there for her.
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

F2F 2: Is there anybody here that hasn't slept together?
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Slowly, slowly, we are conquering space.
Also, I am curiously charmed by the notion of Teppy L, Space Hobo.

If she is eloping to Scotland -- surely she doesn't need bridesmaids, does she?
Won't just a Smithy and a couple of witnesses do?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Some call her the gangster of love

Well, she's not eloping. It's going to be a small ceremony, with family and close friends, at the end of next March. I'm the only bridesmaid, and it's not going to be in Gretna Green.
Everyone satisfied? Can we move on?

I just don't see why anyone would want to go to a whole other country to get married. Everyone talks funny and the buildings are all really run-down and think of all the money you're taking away from the American wedding industry. It's positively traitorous.

Also, jealous. 'Cause, castle!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I was in a wedding last year where the couple did that. The bride, who had immigrated from Ireland, wanted to get married in the church of her childhood.

Jessica, it's not the marrying in Scotland we're protesting; it's the fact that the location is keeping you away from us.
The plus side of marrying in a whole different country would be that many of your relatives might not be able to make it.

I did also mention that flying into Oakland instead of SFO might be an option. And that I'd need a crawlspace to sleep in.
