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

[kingLouiethe1]

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.

My friends are not easily shocked, I have them de-sensitized, so you guys really have your work cut out for you.

I'm all about planning and overplanning and second guessing choices constantly. Mike is very much the "We can wait to make that decision" guy. I gave him a tension headache yesterday just trying to get the planning kit questionnaire filled out, but it's done, well it will be as soon as he figures out who he's going to have on his side of the wedding party (a detail I had worked out the day after he proposed).

Is that a DARE?

I know exactly what you mean. Scott's defintely the more laid back of the two of us. I've been accused of being A.R. many times.

I love Jim Brickman....I have since I was 16 (and that was a secret I had to keep to myself....he is not popular with the young group!!! ).

There is a song he does, Never Alone.....I think it will be the song I dance to with my younger son when (if, hopefully not...I never whant my boys to leave me...I know I say that now) he gets married.

It may have been posted, but how many guest are you having for the wedding?

Happy planning

I am also a huge Jim Brickman fan. I love his work. He's also a very nice gentleman. He was staying at the hotel where I worked in Dallas. I went to see his concert, then back to the hotel's bar to talk to a friend of mine. The bar was empty, and right before closing Jim Brickman and Dave Koz (the saxaphonist who was performing with him in concert) walked in. I bought them a round of drinks and had a very pleasant conversation with them. He's quite funny, and not bad looking at all. I've got several of his CDs and whenever I want "background music" I put one in. It's just fantastic stuff.

The guest list is right at a hundred people at this point.

If you're coming as drag queens you'll probably have to do the Divine from pink flamingos routine to get a reaction from my guests. Mike's guests I think will tend to be a little stodgier, so you might have an easier time with them.

Oh, that's been done! I'm not going to copy anyone. Might not be drag queens though. There are so many other ways to shock people.

 

[rpmdfw]

One month to go!

No, no! I'm not freaking out! Nope, not me.



Well, maybe just a little bit.

Everything is going to be fine! Calm down... breathe... 1....2....3....

You are reminding me so much of that last month when I was planning my own wedding, but I was not half as organized as you are. I was picking my music the week before, getting my dress altered two weeks before, putting the seating chart together the night before!!!!

What can I say - I will blame it on my young age - I was 22!

BUT!

Do you have your penoir set picked out
for your "trip to the moon on gossamer wings"?
AKA- do'n it.

"penoir set"?!?!?!

I don't even know what that IS!

Great, Wally, now you've given me somthing ELSE to stress over!

ARGH!

 

[OrlandoMike]

"penoir set"?!?!?!

I don't even know what that IS!

Perhaps its a nice set of cross pens so you can write your thank you notes?

I haven't even started worrying about that yet!

 

[wallyb]

Penoir Set!
What Lisa Douglas was always flouncing around in!

Bad gay man!

Bad!

No. I don't have a penoir. Don't need one. Don't want one.

However, my mental picture of Wally is now of him wearing one of those, sitting at home with Stella, doing his nails, talking on the princess phone, and eating bon bons.

Now most of you are too young to know this, but in the 50s and 60s and into the 70s, it was tradition the the mother of the bride would purchase a white nightgown and matching filmy robe for her daughter's wedding night. The colour symbolized virginity, obviously and the set was given at the bridal shower. A night gown and robe that matches is usually considered a penoir.

I have seen some of these in nicer department stores, but whether it is still a tradition or not, I don't know.

Wally, always on the top of fashion advice.

A pink variation on Dr frankenfurter!
I can dig it.

With my massive "scepter"
(Just for linkage over to the shower)

 

[turkygurl]

Yeah, my mom bought me one and gave it to me at one of my bridal showers. I almost died of embarrassment. I was 20.

 

[rpmdfw]

Well, perhaps my mother bought a set for my SISTER on her wedding night, but since I'm her SON, I doubt that I'll be getting lingere from her.

Not having a shower where she could give it to me anyway.

Wally may be on top of the fashion advice, but perhaps he's forgotten that the drag queen olympics was on the virtual shower thread.

No lacy undergarments for me!

 

[TinkerChelle]

No lacy undergarments for me!

hmmfff! You're no fun!

 

[rpmdfw]

hmmfff! You're no fun!

On the contrary!

I'm a lot of fun! Regardless of what kind of undies I'm wearing!
