You two look amazing. So amazing. I always want to show off the photos of you that post, like I'm some proud relative or something! "Look at this lovely person I know on LJ, and her hott bf! Don't they just look awesome?!?!" Don't worry, though- I know you've had problems with folks posting photos of you on ebay and such without your permission, and I'd never republish your photos and put you at risk for that sort of thing

Thank you! hahah thats so sweet! Just pretend we are long lost cousins :P
Well, you could always show him some victorian-esque mens clothing and see if he likes that kind of thing? Mark tends to have a lot of things like waistcoats and such. I'm not used to being in a relationship with someone that can actually dress themselves, in the past I've either had to nudge them gently or revamp their wardrobe entirely. At least being with Mark allows me to be more adventurous in my own style (and other things). Most men seem a bit too self-conscious to dress even a little bit out there, especially as they get older (most teenage boys seem to be getting more and more conscious of how they dress).
He was open to the wedding idea I had. I was very seriously considering an Alice in Wonderland theme. Not the cartoony, silly thing, but more elegant. I was thinking of Tommy in a Mad Hatterish type outfit, with an Edwardian bent. I showed him some photos and he was very open to the idea

That would be really cool! Has the wedding been and gone or not?
I've never understood white socks!
In the past I've sort of.. just.. ended up buying them only clothes for christmas and birthdays, but in a style that THEY would like, rather than what I want them to dress like. I think I probably bullied my last boyfriend into dressing better, so that probably isn't the best way to go about it!
His mom is extremely practical and even-tempered and ... well, I just don't imagine that it ever crossed her mind to buy him anything aside from white socks. She probably wear them with everything herself! I sometimes tease him people will think he's been in the military, because the American military does not allow soldiers to wear anything but white socks when they're on duty. Apparently there's some minute chance that dye from socks can leech into the blood stream and cause poisoning if a person's feet sweat enough. Given what military duty/training can entail, I guess they decided to play it safe. But a lot of men, even after leaving the military, just never get out of the habit

Wow, congratulations! That sounds so sweet, I've always thought that big ceremonies are rather egotistical (although saying that, I'd want a lively gypsy wedding) - I remember my cousin's first marriage was a big deal, and probably a lot of expense, but thats the kind of woman she is (of course, that marriage didn't last). And yeah I agree, Alice in Wonderland is already popular enough but now....
