Rob and Scott's Big Fat Gay Disney Wedding-TR Pg 92; Photo Update pg 133

I'm just hoping that they'll include a line of anniversary cards.

Poor Scott has gotten the same card the last two years because it's the only one that I could find that didn't say "husband" or "wife" or some variation on man and woman on it; or decidedly hetero couples pictured on it. It's tough shopping for cards for us "non-traditional family" types if you're not near a "Gay Card Shop" (Boy do I miss the Gayborhood in Dallas, sometimes)

Well, we can certainly encourage that in our emails to them...

A friend just sent this to me.

Hallmark will begin selling cards for gay marriages, civil unions, commitment ceremonies, etc.



She's upset that they're not going to be in stores in time for our Big Fat Gay Disney Wedding.

I told her she could send one late.

I say to heck with Hallmark and buy cards from company's that have been supporting us all along. Or get a little crafty and make your own.

I shouldn't be so cynical though. It's good to see that this rough economy is encouraging hallmark to go after my gay dollars

Honestly, the companies that have been making gay cards for a while now tend to not have what I want. They're mostly pictures of buffed hunks in revealing clothing or things that look like a rainbow threw up all over it. Not always appropriate to the situation. I've been looking for a more "mainstream" style of gay targeted cards for a while. I'm hoping this is it.

I hear you on those. I guess since we have such a huge market in this city I have always been able to find really great things for any occasion, and I am on the crafty side so I make a lot of my own things.

I would like to tone down the tone of my previous post and take more moderate approach, I don't care if John McCain accuses me of flip-flopping!

 

[rpmdfw]

I don't care if John McCain accuses me of flip-flopping!

Has ANYONE, EVER accused you of flip-flopping?

Cuz I don't picture you as the type to flip.

 

[kingLouiethe1]

Cuz I don't picture you as the type to flip.

I can be very flippant.

 

[rpmdfw]

I can be very flippant.

Don't you be flip with me, Missy! I'll get Wally in here to take you down!

 

[kingLouiethe1]

HA! I'm about as scared of Wally as I am of Cindy McCain!

Actually, nevermind. That woman is a little scary. I'm sure she's very nice, but the picture of her on the cover of Newsweek a few weeks ago was creepy.

We met with our wedding planner again today. As usual, it was a very pleasant experience.

We met to do a cookie tasting (assorted cookies for one of our functions, very yummy. no pix this time, sorry!) and to go over our BEO and Budget one last time before we have to give them the full payment.

Meeting went very well. I managed to catch an addition error, that's going to save us a decent sized chunk of change. That was great news.

Once again, every time we meet with anyone from the Disney Fairy Tale Weddings team, we walk away feeling like it's money well spent. They're SO committed to making our day as special as it can possibly be. It's been just anamazingly positve experience.

Congratulations on only being a month away! I can't help but notice that my invitation has not arrived yet and also you have not sent me the confirmation info for my flight or hotel. I'm sure this was just an oversight on your part, I know how much you are taking care of these days, thanks!

 

[OrlandoMike]

You may want to contact Wally!

I think he is on the invitation committee for the "Crasher Kids"!

Will do! You know, I've never done drag before, but I think I will try to pull it off for the wedding. If you see a big thing with tall hair dressed like the queen of hearts, that's me!

I hate you. I hate you both.

Okay, maybe I don't hate you, but the crashing jokes are not funny.

Wow! A cookie tasting? That must have been hard to take! LOL!

You are very close to your all important day now. I really cannot wait to see the photos and read your "wedding day report!"

Living vicariously through you, we are!

 

[rpmdfw]

Actually, I just nibbled on a couple cookies. I'm still swollen from the oral surgery and eating anything that isn't "soft" irritates the area around the stitches. Hopefully the new anitbiotics they put me on yesterday morning will help. The cookies looked great and Scott said they tasted good, so I'm sure they'll be perfect for what we need.

Yeah, we're getting close. Getting Scary. We went to Sam's Club today and started picking up supplies for the hospitality suite/welcome party after the rehearsal dinner.

 

[DVC~OKW~96]

Ach. I forgot about your poor mouth. Well, the bright side is that you've taken care of it so there won't be any problems on your wedding day, eh?

Big breaths! Don't be scared!

Well, it's Monday, and we're only 35 days out from the wedding, how about an update on music choices.

On the Mother/son/son dance, it looks like we're going with "Candle on the Water"

On the "first dance" we're still stuck between "Hero", "When You Say Nothing at All", and "No Matter What", though we've made some progress in that it looks like one of us will pick the song, and the other one will get to lead. Now we need to determine which one gets to do what.

We have determined that the pre-ceremony music will be from the instrumental selections on Jim Brickman's Disney Songbook CD. Most likely we'll walk down the asile to his version of "When You Wish Upon a Star". It's beautifully done, and we really like the "doesn't matter who you are" sentiment.

I guess that's all for today.

You'll be happy to know my dress came in! The skirt is a little long but I think the alterations will be done in time.

(You're much too close to the wedding to lose your sense of humor now )

We haven't done music choices yet. I can only throw one thing at a time at Mike, and right now I am having him finish up his guest list for the save the date.

You've got some time to worry about music. But be warned, it comes at you quick. I began pulling together a list of options back in January and kept thinking "oh, it's not urgent, I'll worry about it later". Now we're a month out and I'm freaking out about it. (Well, only a little bit)

The little stuff gets really stressful at the end.

As for your dress, and my sense of humor. Well, you'd better be FLAWLESS, honey. Otherwise, you'll wish my sense of humor isn't as sharp as it is.

And I suddenly find myself wishing that I knew a real drag queen that we could have invited to the wedding. How much fun would that be.

Imagine her running in right before the ceremony in a white wedding dress and saying "WAIT!" then looking around and going. "Oh. Wrong wedding, please continue!"

Though I do suppose that I run the risk of strokes and heart attacks with so many older relatives in the crowd. I guess it's not that good an idea.

Maybe I can get Wally to join me in L.A. at the end of May and we'll do it at a wedding there instead.
