Confessions of Fire-y Frilled Bridezilla

[fluffworld]

As most of you know by now, the Australian Golden Boy (who I shall refer to as P, not because he is made of phosphorous, but because he likes a little more privacy online than Little Miss Let’s Share Everything With The Group here) proposed a few weeks back.

I said yes and we have been exploring the entertaining world of getting married together.

Your nuptial attitudes seem very similar to ours. I approve.

We're getting married in a pub. You may also wish to consider this.

Sounds brilliant. All of it. I like the idea behind the ring.

Also that book turned up, so thanks very much. :)

[fluffworld]

Yay! Good to hear it, may it bring you many many sales.

Congratulations :) and flamethrowers in the dress _would_ be cool!

Flamethrowers are awesome. We got married a couple of weeks back and had a steampunk wedding where people turned up with guns and powerisers.

Not being bridezilla was nice, although a few of my friends seemed alarmed at the concept that a woman could be
a. ambivalent about the historical connotations of various traditions, and
b. not really interested in having more than a large interesting party with booze. My frequently expressed sentiments that as long as loads of people turned up, there was a bar, and I looked fucking awesome, there was little to it, were apparently missing the point. As someone who had not been planning her wedding (or to ever get married) even before meeting said prospective husband, I found this amusing. Also slightly annoying.

Having said that, our families totally got it.
May I recomment offbeatbride as an interesting site where you get to look at good pictures of people doing mental things for weddings. And also just cool fun stuff, obv.

Sounds like a great day out, I approve hugely.

Oh, offbeatbride is SHINY. Awesome. Thanks for the link.
