THL, this is very helpful. Especially the part about using the same date a year later. Thanks for the congratulations! Um, house is as delayed by indecision as wedding. Attorney advises us much could go wrong. I practically had an anxiety attack about the whole thing at lunch today. (Not over the wedding — that’s clearly a good idea!)
No shame in City Hall. We did City Hall then had a small party (23 people) in the private wine cellar of a restaurant on the LES. I even got my dress off the rack on sale at Nordstroms for less than $200!
You could always do the city hall thing, not tell a soul and then do it again in front of friends and family at a later date. A girl I worked with did that. Got “re-married” on the one year anniversary of the city hall wedding so there wouldn’t be confusion as to their anniversary date.
THL, have not been to Holland Tunnel bar, should I go?
Maybe more patterns would be available if they weren’t so s****y, the main American pattern company digging its own grave by catering to an aging population of grandmothers in Oklahoma who want to make three-years-out-of-date styles for their grandchildren using polyester gabardine. Vintage patterns are so much better. Check out etsy and burdastyle for better options.
I’m engaged and we want to have a small wedding in six months to a year but will probably have to go to city hall before that for the health insurance. BF has catastrophic insurance but just spent $800 on a routine doctor visit and needs more. But it kind of messes up the wedding thing to do the legal part on one date and the social part on another.
i know it’s the end of the night but im sure none of you asses would have helped me up. hahaha. g’nite. grrrr.

Mopar, Congrat’s on the soon to be wedding!
Boo on the maybe not to be house!

Depending on what site you use this screen name, some may still think your a guy…..prrrrrr.
P.S. Everyone does seem to assume I’m a man. I started using this screen name on a dating site. “Fuzzyprettykitten39” was already taken.

and Mopar, I have to confess, I always thought you were a guy! Regardless, congrats on both the upcoming nuptials and the house (how’s that going?).

“MM, or you can just get pregnant and suck off the system.”
Sorry, BRG, but I think that ship just sailed. Although if you would like me to generate enough heat to melt snow, I may be able to help. 🙂
