On being engaged
Being a bride-to-be has not come easy to me. The night of the engagement I totally killed the romanticism by giggling in glee BEFORE Marcus asked me. It was romantic, it was sweet, but all I could do was giggle. We love telling our engagement story to people, because it is so us! It’s goofy and beautiful at the same time

In many ways I am discovering my true self still ( but then, we probably always are). I have recently discovered that I have a huge split between my masculine and feminine self. I am competitive, career and academically minded and tend to react negatively towards "traditionally female" choices ( eg. marriage, motherhood). Yet I am a belly dancer and loooove to wear pretty things ;) Anyway, in the past two months I have switched from rejecting all that is traditional, to being open to their symbolism ( instead of presenting a strong thesis of the sexist roots of such traditions).
Marcus and I will most likely just do one ceremony, we are not doing a church wedding ( we are both atheist) and we are going to be writing our own ceremony. I feel pretty confident that we can come up with a ceremony that is meaningful to us AND to our audience. I think if I let go of some of my rigidity and be open to old and new. For example, I am not 100% be against white anymore, if Marcus wears white, I might wear white. Although right now I am IN LOVE with this dress
