wedding plan : You know, I really didn't know that. Thanks for letting me know,because it's definitely something to take into consideration whenchoosing the rings. I'll have to check it out. I think much of the reason we werethinking about pewter is because we like the way it looks. Neither ofus are fond of wearing rings, but thought that pewter rings would besomething we could handle for years and years. :) We thought brieflyof other jewelry we might wear instead of rings, but since we bothdislike most jewelry, and don't want to risk losing anything, we stuckwith rings as being the most practical 'symbol of our love'. :) I amkind of concerned about the durability factor. Seeing as how I wearpewter alot, I don't know why it didn't occur to me that it's so'flimsy'.<laughing> I was thinking more along the lines of white combat bootswith lace laces. Pengie, however does not like this idea and so Imight have to go with something slightly more feminine to appease him.Think my bare feet might be feminine enough? ;DWow! What a cool idea! <boingyboingyboingy> Thanks /nad!Thank you! <hig> I will definitely look that up on DejaNews.
wedding plan : And to act as if the woman you described is in ANY way typical is so farbeyond ludicrous as to be off the scale. Yes, she exists. I'll accept that.But, come on, do you respond to stories about aspiring rock stars by saying,"Yeah, I know those guys: They start a commune out at some ranch in thedesert, line up foolish young girls, and the next thing you know, they'vemurdered Sharon Tate!" It may have happened, but it ain't exactly somethingan intelligent person builds policy around, y'know?My take (since I started this) on Deanna is more along these lines:There are young women who have pre-determined maps of what love and marriageare all about, and they may have conflictingmaps of what love and dating areabout. So they will date the artist, the dreamer, the young man with avision, because that's what they feel their college years are supposed to belike. But then, when it comes time to get married, they draw on this verypowerful Barbie Dream Wedding plan and go right from that to the Ken andBarbie Marriage template. It's not a conspiracy on their part, any more thanall the stuff men supposedly do to crush women's dreams is a conspiracy.
wedding plan : It has a lot more to do with role-playing instead of living your life.There's some of that on either side of the gender gap -- A lot of guys can'tfall in love with a girl who isn't conventionally pretty. Or they believe insharing on an intellectual level, but then they draw on their own marriagetemplate that makes them sit in the Barcalounger calling for someone tobring them beer and potato chips.When I suggested that the pregnancy was not an accident, I didn't pictureher plotting to ruin Michael's life. I saw, rather, that as Karina pointedout, a young woman who supposedly knows the health field gettingaccidentally pregnant and how much of an accident is it? On a consciouslevel, maybe completely. But this young woman is determined to live a"conventional" married life, and on some level, she wasn't exactly workingovertime to help preserve an artistic lifestyle.And consider the evidence: As has been pointed out before, she couldn'tsleep with Michael unless they were married, but she could live with him andlet people think they were single. She didn't want her mother interfering intheir wedding, but her wedding was about as conventional, otherwise, as anyother -- she's certainly no rebel. She's just a girl who argues with hermother. And then she wasted their honeymoon dragging Michael to clothingstores so she could shop. Quebec City is certainly a very fashionable place,but what kind of artist's wife gets off on filling her suitcases? Whathappened to sunsets and snow-covered mountains and the St. Lawrencestretching below the cliffs like a ribbon in the moonlight? (And whateverthey saw of that, all they report is the shopping, so it certainly tookcenter stage.)
wedding plan : My husband and I planned our wedding in about 5 months (and bought a house, tooka 2-week vacation out west, and moved into the house, in that time period). Youcan do it, just don't get overwhelmed too often....Make a to-do list, decide what you need to accomplish by what date (week by weekworked for me), and focus on the tasks for each week, not on ALL the things thatneed to be done. Everything will get done, and if it doesn't, maybe it wasn't soimportant after all.... Check some wedding sites on the Internet for the tasksfor the to-do list, so you don't forget something.We chose a restaurant for our reception (Les Fougeres in Old Chelsea) ratherthan a hall. We had just over 50 guests. Most of our guests told us it was oneof the nicest wedding meals they'd ever eaten. We didn't have to tell therestaurant exactly how many guests there would be, we paid for the number ofmeals that were served. There were two main meal choices, and the restaurantmade our wedding cake and sliced and wrapped it for us to give to guests. Therewas also a dessert with the meal.Other restaurants are also able to accommodate small weddings-you actually havemore choice I think than if you were having a larger group. If you don't want aSaturday night, L'Oree du Bois in Chelsea may also be able to take you. Averagemeal price at either restaurant is about $50, including appetizer, main meal,dessert and wine.
wedding plan : I recommend our photographer, Vic Rambaut.825-8440Check the Wedding services section in the Pennysaver and in the yellow pages forchurches or ministers/clergy to call for availability, and for otherphotographers.elope, spend the savings on a trip or put it into your new home.The problem of finding an official for a non-traditional weddingcrops up all the time. The best way to enjoy the EXACT ceremonyyou wish, an to have it performed by a person you trust and isintimately familiar with the traditions of your faith is to havea close friend or family member perform the ceremony.To do this easily and legally, one can become an officiallyordained minister. Many folks try this by becoming "ordained"over the web by the ULC. The ULC is frowned upon by many localgovernment officials resulting in an undue hassle.An alternative is the Universal Matrix Church, in no wayaffiliated with the ULC. Ministers of the Universal MatrixChurch have performed marriages in nearly every state. TheChurch alsowill provide support in times of difficulty whenregistering with the city or county officials. All 50 statesrecognize marriages performed by ministers of churches similar tothe Universal Matrix Church. The UMC has ordained ministers inmost of the United States and in several foreign countries. Thechurch has no knowledge of any of the 50 United States that donot recognize it's ministers. The marriage laws may serve as anindicator of how a church may be accepted or recognized by aparticular state.
