Marriage Is What Brings Us Together, Today

Time is whizzing past us…. it’s our 8th anniversary today. It seems like just last week that I was thinking, “Yah! What a great wedding – we’re married!” and then next thought was, “Man, we should have eloped.”

That’s the thing about weddings: people don’t realize what a big stress and money monster they are, even though the rest of us “married folk” try to recommend again and again that they just elope. SeaStar and I had a conversation yesterday about this: we decided that we’re going to impress upon the new generation that you want a nice, simple elopement…NOT a big fat wedding.

“Now, go get your pretty white dress and play elopement on the sandy beach.”

Besides, this molding-of-minds will REALLY pay off in the future when Doodah wants to get married. Brother and SeaStar will save a ton of money on wedding hassles and costs (this will be in is in 25 years, so inflation is also a factor).

Anyway…. Just wanted to say to the world:

“I am so in love with you, Chicken Wing. Thank you for marrying me and loving me,” to my favorite almost-30-year-old. :) Yeah for marriage!

Congrats! And, trust me, I'm all over the elopement. I may even skip the white dress and just do a white Tshirt (He can wear the Tuxedo Tshirt) and jeans.

Who the heck is Seastar?
