Merry Yule everyone! It's been a good one this year, and I would love to spam you all with details, but I have something far more important to say first!
On 1st May 2006....
ME AND KILL ARE GETTING MARRIED! :D
HOW COOL IS THAT! It's uber-cool, that's how cool it is! OMG! *going to burst or wet self with excitement and bliss*
And it's not the compromise of a civil union either - on 21 Dec the new law was passed, and same sex civil partnerships (that's basically the same 'legal procedure' with all the same legal rights and accordances of a hetero marriage, except under a diferent name to stop the Bible-bashers and 'phobes getting their knickers in a twist) ARE NOW LEGAL IN GREAT BRITAIN! :D :D :D
Our original plan was to have a handfasting on Beltaine, then get the civil union registered the next day. We're still doing the handfasting ceremony, but we're combining it with the signing for the civil-partnership registration. So it's a real wedding! :D
GAH! AMAZING! :)
In other news, Yule and Christmas (that's the nice thing about having a boyfriend - actually, would that make him my fiance now? *g* - whose parents are non-pagan...we get to celebrate both!) were both great....On Yule we went to my mother's for her circle (which i got to lead! I haven't led a circle for ages and I forgot how exhilarating it can be) and on Xmas Day Anna and Darie and Mitch and Kill's grandparents visited. Last night Reg had a party, which was fun, and I still have a slight hangover, but nevermind. ^^
ANYWAY! I'm so happy. Goddamn I'm happy. I never thought I would ever get married. Maybe the world is getting a little less prejudiced after all. :)
