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?
Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

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.
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.

Well, we haven't seen beth and Matt, Suela, or Java Cat in this thread lately, but they've all offered to host people in the past. It's a pretty safe bet that reasonably comfy space somewhere, with some localista, will surely and certainly be found for everyone.

Jessica -- just teasing. Also, expressing my sympathy for the trip that was just a quick hop up to Boston that was transmogrified into a trans-Atlantic adventure at pretty much the last minute.

That's the thing -- it's not last minute. The wedding's not for another 8 months.
