| | Q: What do you call a man who wants to marry into a family of 2 collies, 4 boys, 6 hermit crabs, 7 cats and a grandkitten?
A: Brave!
You could also call him Mark- I do. This weekend, on a beautiful beach in North Carolina, he asked me to marry him. I said yes!  |

| | Oh my- it's just beautiful there. I enjoyed the entire trip. I stayed in Raleigh for a few days, then we drove to the coast, and it was just so pretty everywhere.  |

| | Hmmmm, we were looking at houses/beach on Oceanside Dr. on Emerald Isle. Just beautiful.
As for wedding customs, no idea. As long as it doesn't involve being in a church or synagogue, I'm good. OTOH, someone suggested a pagan ceremony, and that doesn't work for me either. I'm sure we'll figure out something which will make both of us happy. And it will be cheap. I'd rather spend on making a nice meal for the reception after than on a dress I'll wear once.
Actually, I'm just sitting here trying to make a wish list for my wedding, and not being attacked by a pelican would make me happy.  |
