I have already been married and had the nice church wedding with the gown, the man--what was he called--oh yeah, the groom, the flowers and the gifts. I ran out of steam halfway through the thank you notes and I'm pretty sure I never finished them. I just hope that time has erased this from people's memories. Or that a lot of those people who gave me gifts are now deceased.
Anyway, if I ever get married again, I'm going to do something totally different. I'm going to have the wedding in my front yard, like a yard sale. I am going to post signs on the telephone pole at the big road at the end of my street labeled WEDDIN' with a big arrow. Furthermore, I am going to have a whole bunch of our old stuff sitting out on tables. Instead of bringing us presents, I will ask the guests to pretty please and for the love-o-gawd, take something with you when you leave. I mean, what a festive way to get all your friends to help you clean out your attic!
I give thanks to Jan Guarino, who helped me formulate this idea.

great idea. Really. Will your yard be available June 7th?
Is that your date?? Goodness Sweetie that is just around the corner!
I KNOW! Right now it is our projected date of wedlock. We will know for sure after after next weekend. I'll keep you posted. XO
I call dibs on your Red Suede 40's style shoes, the painting that was on an easel behind your sofa in 03', any of Shukri's stuff and the wedding present that we gave you the first time.....Chia pets...do you remember?
I want "Petey"
I congratulate, what words..., a brilliant idea
