(no subject)
So Denny told me in his sweetly unromantic way that he is pretty much going to propose this year. I'm stoked (of course). Unfortunately he's talking about it like it's more of a burden and a obstacle then something to be rejoicing over. Nevertheless I'm still excited. I've been staring at pics of wedding dresses and googling wedding customs. Though when it comes down to it, I get a knot in my belly thinking about the ceremony. Just trying to figure out how to balance what I, my family, and my friends will feel comfortable with gives me premature grey hairs. Would it be weird to tie our hands together (handfasting) in a pretty traditional ceremony? I just want some customs in there that aren't associated with Christianity but that are subtle enough that my christian-cult grandparents won't disrupt the ceremony by walking out. Denny came up with a brilliant idea of having poems read instead of bible verses. We don't want any "sermon" to be given. Unfortunately the only weddings I recall fully (minus the Hindi wedding I went to with Damion) were fanatically christian. I'm not sure on the date of Skye and Amanda's handfasting/wedding but I'm hoping that it comes before whatever day Denny and I come up with. I want to have some frame of reference for my ceremony :) (You will be dittoed slightly Skye and Amanda...sorry) I am thinking of looking up some Universal Life Church Reverends in the area. Unfortunately the one I like the most is a female and my family would freak. She even lives in Novi! I wish my family wasn't so difficult but Denny's family is Christian as well (just not crazy like my family) and we really don't want to make this uncomfortable. My other group of friends (haunted house peeps), you would think, has never entertained the idea of religion or any higher being. They are just beings of the world and so a super religious anything would bug them...no matter the religion. YIKES listen to me ramble. Feedback would be appreciated...Love you guys!
