I don't go to many weddings. Between my work schedule, my financial situation, and other stuff, I often have to simply check out the registry and send some hand towels or whatever. And once or twice I've had no choice but to do that to someone whom I love dearly, but in general I'm just not that into weddings. I have to really love you and love that you're in love to nudge me out of my hermit like aversion to big parties and paying for hotel rooms and so on and so on.
But 2010 is the Year of the Weddings, Folks!
Actually, the first wedding on our list is coming up way crazy fast. I will not be at the wedding but I want to honor the wedding in a public forum (and this is the best I've got) because KA deserves the wedding and the marriage of a lifetime. I was absent first metaphorically and then very literally for the courtship phases, but hope to be very much around for the actual marriage. KA is one of my dearest loves, and knowing her, I know she has chosen a wonderful man with whom to spend her life. I am really looking forward to the joy and privilege of meeting the groom and watching their life together unfold.
Then, in August 2010, We have the Moses and PE Nuptials. Despite having fabulous and religiously themed material all set, I think this wedding will proceed without song and dance numbers, but not even that can take away from the joy of seeing these two . . .keep on doing what they do so well, just with more family and Temple approval. Adding to the excitement, I asked PMD to be my date. I told her that we will stay in a fancy room that we get on the cheap, stay up late giggling, telling stories, and painting each others' toes, and I will not even pressure her to put out. Naturally, not being able to turn down an offer like that, she's in!
And then today, RM announced the October date of his blessed day. And he made the mistake of joking that there may be a zombie theme. I'm going all zombie, all the way (NOTE: Mom, can you make a wedding appropriate zombie dress?), and the zombies will dance to "Single Ladies." Naturally. Come to think of it, I haven't actually met the groom in this wedding yet, but he did consider sending me a lightbulb changer thingy from Lowes to Bishkek (which would be genius, though oh so hard to pull off), so it's almost like we're BFFs already.
One marriage I'm looking forward to getting to know in January, and two weddings I'm actually super excited to go to. This year in weddings is looking pretty different from most of my other years.

Thank you for your sweet words. You are right October 10th is coming up very very quickly. We are moving right now and it is just about to do me in. Augh.
Love ya!
While we won't have singing and dancing, since Legal Sea Foods is catering we do have plans to have a secret "Chowdah room" where people can congregate and eat shellfish. So there's that.
(BTW do you want a save the date magnet? We're sending them out sometime next month. Should I send one to your parents' house?)
Ooooh, secret shellfish. So much potential for scandal!
Well, maybe not. I can always use a new magnet, so if you've got extras go ahead and send one, but I promise not to forget the date even without a magnet. At the moment I could not actually tell you the date, but I assume it will be written on the invitations, so I should be OK.
