Thanks everyone! I'm back. Long week, longer weekend.
Yes, he proposed at Cafe Campagna in Seattle on our one-year dating anniversary. Very romantic. Since we'd talked about getting hitched for some time, it wasn't a huge surprise (plus he was being really funny and fidgety). He sorta waited for our side of the restaurant to clear out a little, and then when I got back from the restroom he got on one knee. Very genteel and sweet.
Here's the thing: I'm not having any maid of honor or bridesmaids, but I'm having a best man (so is Sauced). However, my best man will obviously not be planning any showers or parties for me, and will clearly not be taking me to get facials (oh, god- you know what I meant) or helping me try on dresses. So my most recently-married girlfriend is my "wedding coach". I'm thinking chantrelle picking for the bachelorette party. I'm thinking a Viking/Huntress/Voodoo/Wood Nymph kinda thing. Maybe I'll carry a sword instead of a bouquet. Or carnivorous plants instead of flowers. Who knows. We're taking a year to plan, so sometime around Oktoberfest 2006.
Whee! I can't wait!

I can never tell when you're joking, schildy.  You can get one online from the Unitarians. Shockeye, you can throw my bridal shower if you want. We'll be registering at Sur La Table, Williams and Sonoma, and Big Red's Taxidermy Emporium. |

How very Freudian of you. You see, there's this porn bitorrent site called the Empornium. I'm sure there are many people here familiar with it. It's good stuff. I don't think I need to tell you that it's NSFW. I'd link, but I'm having moral issues about giving out a link to licensed products. Even if it's a dvd-rip of tittyfuckers 900 or whatever. |

Make sure to send me a link to your registry for Williams Sonoma- my wife moonlights there and gets a 40% discount :-D

See, you're supposed to get a link and buy her something really expensive at 40% off and just let her think you're the most generous dude ever. But hey, now I think I'm going to make a fake registry after finding that out. |

Schild, will you also be registering at the Taxidermy Emporium? God I wish there really was one. I just know a jackelope would look awesome in your new pad.
Thanks, WAP, for the heads-up. I will definitely keep that in mind. I have no idea when registry is supposed to take place. 6 months in advance? 4 months? I'll have to consult my new onslaught of bridal planning books.

We got married in the registar's office in Kingston Upon Thames. I was mildly embarrassed because I couldn't remember the order of Righ's names during the service. He has several of them. Oh well. Then we went off to have a dinner/reception that his parents insisted upon. We were not intending to have anything at all. Righ's sister made the cake. It was the first wedding cake she had ever made and when we cut it, dry ingredients fell out. The cake scared me. It was a fruit cake (traditional) and weiged about 40 lbs. After that was finally over, our friends came to our house and we all got wasted. The next day, I slept in and Righ went to work.
The only change to that scenario I would make would be to have mostly everything besides the sitting around getting stoned bit disappear. Weddings are not my sort of thing at all. So... yeah... I think having a voodoo wedding or something sounds loads better than those horribly tedious formal things. I totally love my marriage, I just hate weddings.

The nice thing about weddings is that they give our family a chance to be togather that isn't a funeral.

I kinda want a croquembouche instead of a cake (traditional for French weddings), but they're expensive and wouldn't really fit the theme/rest of the food I'm planning. I'm hoping we can have the ceremony/reception at a nearby botanical garden. It should be a nice autumn affair.
You do not even want to know about the kinds of dresses I've been investigating today. There's one site that does mildly pretty/mostly borderline-cosplay fairytale-style dresses. The worst part is that they picked really homely models so I can't imagine anyone envisioning herself a picture of loveliness when their Guinnevere looks like a crackhead.

I am afraid that I will literally think about this every moment for the next 365-380 days. I had insomnia last night thinking/reading about wedding planning. I have spent all day today talking/posting/reading/researching dresses/venues/photographers/catering/etc. I know it's a year away and that I really do have shitloads of time to deal with it, but I'm a control freak and we're paying for this ourselves so I wanna do all the footwork myself so it's perfect. Augh!  |

Friends of mine were married recently - had a tower of wedding cupcakes instead of a traditional cake. Was a brilliant idea. Plus - the bride has an M&M thing, so they covered all of the cupcakes with personalized M&Ms, which would have been tough with a traditional cake. |

I think they have gone downhill slightly in the past few years, but they are still outstanding. Damnit. Now I want one. Maybe we should get one for your wife's b-day, Fur? |

Butt Fuck Club? Just joking I don't know what BFC stands for. We have Jaciva's a couple of blocks from our house - world-class chocolatiers/cake makers. The cake somehow hasn't fit into my equation yet. It's the last thing on my mind. Sauced's bro know pastry chefs though, so I figure we'll have some options. Check out this dress (Don't look Sauced! Okay you can if you want 'cuz Emily's dressmaker won't make total knockoffs) |
