Reception
The dressing up like a girl was ’successful’ - people said I looked nice; I of course did not believe them and was an idiot about it which I totally got called on (in a nice way, I am going to try harder to not think I look like an elephant-whale now. Trying is what I shall be doing)
I danced like no one could see me and sang my heart out -luckily the music was so loud no one could hear me but I know I’m going to gte asked why I know all the words to ‘Hit The Road Jack’… God, I need to get back on stage again. Anyway.
There were balloons and hearts everywhere and it was so good to see two people so in love.
I have a love/ hate relationship with Weddings. I may have mentioned it before but I am a bit tipsy right now and can’t be bothered to go on a hunt through my old posts so if I am repeating myself skip the next bit.
Weddings (well, in this case Civil Partnership) are about hope and the two people involved have hope that the future will last forever and be full of happiness and bliss and peace and comfort and all those good good things. The Bride and Bride were so obviously in love and it brought a tear to my eye knowing how happy they must feel today.
The hating of weddings part is the same reason I hate marathon runners - it’s something I’ll never be able to do. I just don’t think my heart is built to let somebody in that far.
Anyway, my feet and legs didn’t hurt as much today - I was able to walk around in my heels and dance for extended periods of time without wanting to scream in pain or hobble like an old woman - that’s got to count for something, right?
So, right now I need a pint of water and all the sleep in the world.
Love you all.
I tell you who i hate - marathon runners who get married. Bastards.

Yeah, I’ve been to a ton of weddings. I love the people, but not a fan of weddings in general. Still, I have hope that one day I’ll step upon the altar once more.

Dan - ooo, them? They’re the ones who just walk around with smugness all over their faces aren’t they? Custard pies being hurled at them from every direction.
…
…
So so jealous is me.
Neil - Deserved? Far from it - now I feel the guilt about not getting things done. BUT ANYWAY, thanks!
Karl - Ah, hope. Yes, that particular coconut shell… He who has never hoped can never despair… or something like that. Damnable hope… It is what I stick to and reject at the same time - did I mention I was a fruit loop?

Noooooooooo… she hates me. (Honestly, a marathon is just one foot in front of the other. And no I’m not uber fit.)
The only thing worse than wedding is brides, not sure what happens to otherwise intelligent women when they become brides. I’ll spare you my long diatribe about sexist and outdated traditions.

Nat - I really should have written self satisfied smug marathon runners - the ones who insist they are better than you because they’ve done it. Actually I don’t hate marathon runners - I am, pretty much like people who are involved in weddings just blindly jealous. And how could I ever hate you?
Brides? Don’t get me started!

I hate ballerinas much more than brides or marathon runners. It makes me mad that I’ll never be that thin, or that fit, or able to wear tulle and satin whenever I feel like it. Damn ballerinas. There is nothing better than ‘Hit the road Jack’ being played at a wedding except of course for ‘Feelings’ or ‘ Islands In The Stream.’ Glad you had a good time.

Selma - Ooo yes, those ballerina bastards! God, how I wanted to be one of them when I was younger. I did ballet classes for 6 years and only quit because the teacher up here was rubbish. It made me feel like I could be the prettiest princess… but I always was ’solidly’ built.
The best song I ever heard at a wedding was requested at the end of the reception (not this one) after the Groom had stoodon the Bride’s dress and torn it a little. Ugly Kid Joe (I Hate) Everythign About You. Me thinks he did not have a Happy Honeymoon!

To be honest, I’m not much for weddings… but as a male, I think most men are not all that into weddings. I say that even though I’m getting married in less than 3 weeks…. I’m excited, but I’m also smart by letting my other half plan what she wants. There are some things that both of us like, which is nice… like we both wanted to get married on a beach… we compromised by having the ceremony on Lake Tahoe.
The added bonus of timing is that California will start issuing marriage licenses for same-sex marriages, which both my fiance and I are elated about (even though we are hetero, we fully support the rights to everyone)
