So, we asked JB of MCC if she would marry us and she is free and willing! We still have to learn about the tests we have to take and what it will cost, etc., but the search is over and we won't have to have an Elvis impersonator do it by videoconference. Phew!
Twinkie headed over to the venue to make sure that the octogenarian planning this remembers that we have booked the place. She wasn't around, but her husband was, and Twinkie gave him one of the "save the date" magnets. We got 50 of them! Kind of neat - they are business card size and the same picture that is on the blog is on them and they just mention the date and place of the weddin'
Gave them to my work friends, including E, who should, by all rights, be giving us away and walking both of us down the aisle. We asked her to marry us, too, but the whole marriage thing got messy to figure out and we are all too jealous, so in the end, we scrapped that idea. Anyway, one of my work friends is really ... ENCOURAGING me to come out to everyone at work. It is no secret that I am a big lesbian, but I like to be in the pretend closet at work ... just like to share my life with those I choose to share it with, and also because my work is rife with right-wingers. In fact, the word fa**** was used in a pejorative way - apparently that was corrected, but it does not feel like the safest place to be out! However, I am considering it. It wouldn't be shocking, it would just include strangers into my heaven. Or acquaintances. Or even work friends.
Tried to give them to Twinkie's sisters, but they were not home and don't have outdoor mailboxes!
Gave them to our MC - did I mention that our friend Venus has agreed to be the MC? When I was thinking of people and friends who have been really present and around during this year of joy and change - Venus has been one of those like S.,K. and C. who have been such amazing friends - to me and to both of us. So we wanted to honour her. Poor sweetie thought we were asking her to do a song - and we just assumed she'd be singing - didn't think to ask. Horrible us. However, we are hoping ...
Gave them to Twinkie's mom, when we had our fantastic visit last weekend!
Gave them to B. and A., when we went to visit and see the music with the Mancub.
So, we are doing some wedding stuff. In fact, Twinkie wrote her vows today. So sweet.
Creampuff is also getting excited - she referred to us as her parents the other day - no slight to her papa, but she just sees us as a unit, which is sweet - I have always wanted that for her ...
So, have to get out that wedding checklist and see where we are with the plans! Cupcake Sr. wanted me to have picked out a colour scheme by the time she gets back from Citadellia, so will have to make haste and get that underway.
Off to go see Salt in the cinema that serves you a beer right at your chair! Oh yeah. I love payday.
Yours in matrimony, Cupcake
