Thoughts on weddings, 25 February

[amequo]

Now that we're planning a wedding, I've been voraciously consuming wedding blogs and Web sites. Having never done this before, I’ve found some pretty reliable sources on finding vendors, what questions to ask, how to budget for an event like this. I found myself reading two sites often. Incidentally, they're on rather opposite sides of the spectrum

Y'know, I noticed that on Offbeat Bride too. It's like how all high school goths dress like each other in order to be different. In the end, I think it's all about fulfilling your particular fantasy. Kind of like dancers who dress up *exactly* like Rachel Brice because they want to participate in that kind of beauty somehow, & that's the most direct way.

What you've said about your ideas so far sound very beautiful, very non-contrived, and very you. It sounds like it's going to be unique because *you two* are unique.

...but I dunno, are you *sure* you don't want to have "come join our lovefeast" all over your invitations? (Although even if you do, is that even legal in the state of Pennsylvania?)

Hmm, I dunno about lovefeasts. They just made Quaker weddings legal for non-Quakers in Allegheny County. The courts aren't ready to handle this one.

Thanks for the kind words^_^ It's good to hear, especially as complete strangers try to tell you what you *should* do.

Ha! Actually, that reminded me of the time we were walking down Carson Street and passed a little group of them and you said "Oh, look at the baby goths!" I still think of that when I see younguns like that^_^
