I just don't see why anyone would want to go to a whole other country to get married.
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.
Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

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!

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
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.

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

And now Beth and Matt have the new house!!

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.
[really completely dropping this now.]

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Scotland would be super-cool, despite its tendency to wreak havoc with one's budget.
Also, I am curiously charmed by the notion of Teppy L, Space Hobo.
I'm sort of like....well, like mold. I start out in one spot and then WHAM! spread thoughout as much space as possible.

Jessica, I have a living room in Berkeley's beautiful gourmet ghetto in which you would be welcome. Not the convience of staying right in SF, but walkable to BART if I'm not around (stoopid work) to drive.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
