Wedded, Bliss.

May 31, 2007

When creating our wedding ceremony, I started with a prototype—a sample ceremony, one of eight provided by the judge. I added things here, subtracted things there, and rearranged entire sections. One of the first things I dispensed with was a line about the day of one’s marriage being “the happiest day of your life.” I [...]

Wedding Wednesday: What is the sound of one bride snapping?

I will, of course, tell you all about it, provided I am not at the hospital having my labia surgically reattached. Saturday morning I had an acupuncture appointment, and [...]
