Return Have made it back, in one piece, with a newly-acquired measure of respect for the French. How they manage to take so much time off from work and ever recover, i'll never understand.
The mountains were gorgeous, as always, and much fun was had. Wedding planning threatened to overwhelm the whole vacation with melodrama, but fortunately, everything worked out in the end. Found out when I got back that I'd missed much goings-on at work; am just as glad I spent last week away.
Missing everybody from back home tonight; you guys take care of yourselves.

So Most of you know that I'm having a dilemma about my attendants. For those of you that don't, here's the situation.
I'm good friends with a couple. I've known the guy longer, and would like to invite him to be an attendant in my wedding. However, I am afraid this will hurt the feelings of the girl. What should I do?
1) just ask the guy already. nobody's feelings will be hurt; you're just paranoid
2) don't ask either of them
3) elope already
Also, how crucial is it that the groom's sister be an attendant? And shouldn't she be the *groom's* attendant?

You are a broadsword! you are double-edged and sharp. As swords go you are a happy medium. Long but not to long. Sharp but not enough to make the blade weak. Strong but not overly heavy.

"Now you will feel no rain, For each of you will be shelter to the other. Now you will feel no cold, For each of you will be warmth to the other. Now there is no more loneliness, For each of you will be companion to the other. Now you are two bodies, But there is only one life before you. Go now to your dwelling place To enter into the days of your togetherness. And may your days be good and long upon the earth." -- Apache Wedding Blessing
Congratulations, Kev & Jenn!

Apparently No one should tell me anything, ever, as I almost undoubtably burst out with it in front of the exactly wrong person. Secrets aren't the real problem; I can keep those just fine. Gossip, however, that should not be repeated, or stuff I didn't realize was so volatile . . .
*sigh*
I've managed to f*** up two friendships in the past four days. The rest of you should leave before I chase you away.

It's that Time of year Again . . . when all the wedding dress desginers release their new designs.
Wedding Toast "Instead of a toast, I wanted to read a page from the velveteen rabbit. But I forgot the book. (everyone laughed) It seems like this whole wedding has been about forgetting things. You have no idea how many things went wrong, or were missed, or I forgot. (Everybody laughed again.) But it has occured to me today, that maybe marriage has to do with forgetting things, too. It seems to me that marriage has half to do with remembering - remembering what it is that you love about each other, remembering your sweetheart's favorite colour, and his birthday, and that he likes two creams and a sugar in his coffee - and remembering the things that have brought you together - the things that you have learned about each other, and the people who have seen you through. And it seems that the other half is about forgetting - forgetting the little things that the other has done and said in their weaker moments. Forgetting your own little grievences. Forgetting that he forgot to take out the garbage, again. So here is to remembering - everything that that made today so beautiful - and to forgetting - all the woe and chaos and everything that made getting here so difficult."
