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

[Timon-n-Pumbaa Fan]

We are skipping Disney in 2009 and have already put some serious discussion into the idea of planning a wedding in MA. We are waiting for more stuff to come in from the tourism folks and then we can make more plans.

If a Disney wedding wasn't so darn expensive and still not legally recognized, I would love to do one there. MA is a place where we can most likely talk the relatives into joining us. I just don't see us getting our parental units out of NC, GA, and FL and all the way over to CA when most of them won't or shouldn't fly.

You are all the best. I cannot wait to check out the virtual shower...

I love this board, you are all so much fun!

Did you all hear the good news... The MA state leglislature is repealing an old law that states that couples from out of state cannot marry in MA... I guess it was a big obstacle for gay couples who wanted to come here to get married... It has passed here and is on Gov. Patricks desk for his signature... he has already said he will sign it...

So... what dont you guys head up here for a quickie wedding then have your Disney reception???

The DH and I would be happy to be your witnesses (you need two in MA)...

I did hear that.

We may decide at some later date to do a California or Massachusetts ceremony, but it doesn't change our legal status here at home, so there's no point in rushing to do it now before our Big Fat Gay Disney Wedding.

True. Sorry, I didn't think of that. Its just so easy to take my marital status for granted that when I hear something like that I get all excited for all the loving couples who deserve the right to marry and I forget that just because I live in an awesomely liberal state not everyone is as lucky as me.

But anyway, this is a happy thread and I dont want to drag down the good mood.

MA is a great place. I was sooo proud when gay marriage was legalized here that people who didnt know me (and didnt know I was already married) probably thought I was gay and was getting ready to plan my wedding!

I've been lurking and sometimes posting, reading multiple times a day (often peeing my pants at the antics of this group) and just noticed that Rosie and I will be in WDW the same time!!!! Haha....aren't you all jealous?!?!?!?

You know I have not once eaten fondue.

I went to the Melting Pot ONCE.
The bread was moldy.
Then they brought out the meat, this huge mass of cross-contaminated raw nastiness, that I was supposed to spear and boil in oil until it was done. Well, it was nearly pitch dark in there so it was impossible to tell when the meat was done! No more fondue for me, thanks!

We're going to Citrico's for my birthday next week.

Oh..this will be fun (sorry, I don't know how to make Wally's devil face or I would)
When are your dates and where are you staying?

(sorry, I don't know how to make Wally's devil face or I would)

Here's a fun one for you doll

 

[starann]

We will be arrive in WDW Sat, Oct 18th and leaving Sun the 26th. we will be staying at ASMo. It will be me, dh, the kids and my in laws, and we have ADRs and such most days (don't ask me where, cause I threw away the sheet I wrote them on...doh... and haven't called to get them), but I left 2 days (i think wed and thurs) open for 'whatever' days.



If my hubby wasn't bothering me and I knew how, I would find a devil gal to send back to you, but I'm just learning the ropes on here......finding graphics would only lead me to hang myself with said rope!

Jealous? Not really. We live here, and will be around then as well.

While, I like the Melting Pot chain on the whole, the one in Dallas is not great. We went once and never went back. I'd suggest not giving up on fondue completely and giving "Simply Fondue" on Lower Greenville Ave a chance. It's one of my top 5 restaurants in the world (behind one in Paris, one in Rome, one in Florence, and the one where my brother is the chef). That's part of why I mentioned to Louie that there were some independent fondue restaurants in his area, because in my experience a local restaurant has a better chance of a great experience over a chain. But that's just me being a food snob.

I have a top fave restaurant in Florence too!!
What's yours?

And I too am no stranger to fondue - my uncle's partner is Swiss.
Do you put Kirsch in yours?

Ristorante Natalino! The food was amazing, the atmosphere was perfectly Tuscan, the service was fantastic, and it's where we discovered our favorite Chianti.

Such a wonderful memories. Gawd, I want to go back to Italy. And France . . . and . . . .

We don't typically put Kirsch into our cheese fondue. The family recipe for cheese fondue is white wine, nutmeg, garlic, black pepper, and a mix of shredded grueyer and emental (dredged in flower so that the mixture doesn't separate).

We do, however put cherry liquor in the chocolate fondue on occasion.

Rob the villa we rented for 2 weeks in Florence was in piatzza (sp) de Santa Croce - right near your restaurant!

Mines is Il Latini http://www.illatini.com/

Are Rob and Wally playing nice?

Ssshhhh!

We're talking food! In Italy!



Besides, Rob and Wally always play nice. I don't know WHAT you're talking about!

It's called lulling into a false sense of security.
Usually works with the dim ones - not that describes Rob

That restaurant looks fantastic too! I wish we could have spent more than just one night in Florence. I'd liked to have had some time in Tuscany, too. Not that I'd trade the week we spent in Rome (with a day trip to Naples and Pompeii) for anything though.

We day triped around Tuscany - and did 2 days in Venice
but home base was Palazzo Antellesi http://www.florencerentals.net/florence_apts.html

This was our bedroom - it used to be a music room in the Palazzo-
Hard to tell from the photo - but it had cherubs all over the walls playing different instruments in plaster relief - it was like sleeping in a big Wedgwood room- And it look out on a formal rose garden.

I'm a little jealous, I'm still waiting for my first trip to WDW But at least I get my Disney fix a few times a month, or I will again starting in August when the blockout dates on my AP end.

I'm a bit of a food snob too. I only enjoy going to a few chains, and most of them are local chains which I feel tend to be a little better than the nationwide. In a city like this with so many different cultures and people there's always a great new place to discover in any price range.
