[LukenDC]

That is a beautiful story and I am so happy for you, Toto! Congratulations and keep us posted on the wedding plans!

Yesterday was my boyfriends birthday and he organised a sushi party , and at dessert, he served us a fortune cookie. Everybodies cookie read" You will witness a proposition" , and mine read "You will receive a proposition". By the time I read it , he was on one knee with a little black box in his hand ! I then understood what was happening. Everybody around the table were really surprised too ! It was amazing and I could only say yes ! After 8 years together , he decided to make an honest guy of me !


I felt really lucky ( I still feel it) to live in a country that alowes me to live this incredible event and I am very happy to share this with all the people I spend a lot of time discussing with on the DIS. Even with Joepcotrock !

So I could not find a little "guy" that said congratulations, but I saw this little thing...ain't it neat???

Any Way, Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A lttle up-date:

We now have a celebrant. It will be our frien Ivan who is Sylvains best friend and who introduced us 8 years ago on gaypride.

The ceremony will be held under the pear tree in our backyard. We had to cut hte guest list to about 45 due to space (if it rains the whole thing moves inside!) I am thinking of inviting the people left out for the party after the meal.I hope the will understand our constraint)


My friends Linda and Martin have agreed to sing at the ceremony ( one of the songs will probably be "True colors" by Cindy Laupers)


We are now in the process of filling all the legal papers for the wedding. I got scared because , in my province we have civil union and marriage and it was not clear if marrige was only for opposite sex wedding. Civil union was introduced in the province before the Governement of Canada recogcnise same sex wedding. Once it did , they kept civil union and added that marriage was for everyone. I was a bit scarred , but now I am fine !

I will keep you posted !

[DVC~OKW~96]

What wonderful news!
Congratulations to you and your husband to be. It is so perfect that you live in a country enlightened enough to understand and respect your love for each other.

Only good things for you both!

 

[toto2]

Thank you all !

Not everything is rosy ! The minority conservatve governement feels that the vote for this law was not a free vote ( meaning everybody had to vot according to there parties lines) Mr harper now want to go for another vote, a free vote where peopel would vote according to there concsience.

He will probably loose anyway , simce his party is a minority party , but still , he restart the whole thing , probably in order to be in the good graces of Mr Bush. This would be in the fall , so after my wedding , so it wont change anything for me ( I hope)

Just to keeep people posted , our celebrant as been recognised by the governement ( Ivan , my futue husband's best friend and the guy who presented us) Our respective mothers will walk us down the isle, our two staight best friends will be our best man , my brother will be the MC of the wedding , my sister and sylvain's brother will both prepare a special text to be read during the ceremony , my friend Linda and my friend Martin will sing ( we dont know what yet) and Sylvains sister will do a special something where we will burn wishes people will have written for us so that everybody will soak in our wishes ( hard to explain , it sounds weird , but I have difficulty explaining it) My goddaughter and Sylvains godson will bring us our rings , once evrybody in attendance will have put them on. My father will be my witness and Sylvains other godson will be his.

All this will take place in our backyard, under our pear tree with about 48 friends and family. After the meal ( a whole pig and a whole lamb cooked over coal) , about 25 other friends will join us for cake and...party ! ( We dont have enough place to have so many people for the sit down meal and the ceremony , in case it rains , evrything has to be inside !)


So , so far , this is what is going to happen on august the 26th !

CONGRADULATIONS!!!!!!! This guy sounds very romantic. I hope u guys live a long healthy relationship. Now i only wish that i could find a guy . Anyway i am very happy for u and congrats again. ~bandfag~

toto2 that sounds so beautiful! Could you rent a canopy in case of rain? You could have it set up in the back yard, and if it rains, no problem. If it's hot and sunny you'd have shade.

I really love the part about the Moms.

You have designed a very meaningful ceremony. You'll take photos and share them with us, yes?

 

[toto2]

Of course I will share pictures with you guys !

We though about the canopy and my future husband is against it (I keep on asking and suggseting.) But august 26th is always beautifull and sunny , so no problem !


Sylvain's father died when he was very young and was raised by his mother who never remarried , so she had a big influence on him , so this is where the idea came from , about our mother's giving us !

 

[DVC~OKW~96]

Awww, that's really nice. About the Moms I mean, not about Sylvain's Da passing.

No canopy huh? Well then! Pixie dust to you for a sunny, warm day!

Have you decided on the color of the suits/tuxs you will be wearing? Will you have flowers? On the lapel, carried? Moms? (Flowers, not carried)! LOL!

It just sounds so very romantic!
