I have been married before... twice technically but only one of those was legal. The non-legal one left me with a new last name and the legal one gave me Skeeter. I made a ton of compromises for those weddings and wasn't really happy at the time during either of them.

For my handfasting this weekend....

- I am happy to clean the house for guests but I don't have to clean mine/ the kids private bedrooms (because I am my own adult)

- I can wear black to my ceremony (and it can be accented by a suspension-grade green leather underbust corset if I want it to)

- I can wear pants and boots and be comfortable (and honestly be myself - and the person my lovers love)

- I will write my own vows and they won't sound a bit like traditional ones (but they will have more meaning than anything else I could say that was scripted)

- I can skip some boring formal dinner and jump straight to cake and drinks.... my kind of party.

I am excited. ~grins~

I am so excited for you too, your wedding really should be an expression of who you are. It's fantastic that you get to do this and not cater to anyone elses wants (Because it's usually the people who aren't in the marriage who you end up catering to) I'm thrilled for you... I have no idea what to wear!

Woo!

For my wedding I also felt it was important to express my genuine self. I pretty much succeeded in that! It felt great.

Congrats and have a great time.

I love that you're having the wedding you want this time: I think that's really important.

Also, I'm looking forward to this! See you tomorrow night!!!

that we will miss this. Paul is fairly miserable right now and I am not as well as I'd like to be. We are staying home and becoming healthy again.
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF YOU!!! We wish you all the best in the years to come!!
YAY!! to you doing it YOUR way!!!

Also, I wish we had known you guys when we had our wedding. I mean, how can you go wrong with bubbles, exothermic reactions, lace on the blow-torches (and nowhere else), leather and a water-fight!?
And we wrote our own vows. We wish the exact same happiness for all of you!
*HUG*!
