As mentioned in Open Bar, I just had a marriage. Will post stuff in this hurr thread about it and provide pics when they arrrive in the next few days. This is the bridal party:

This is the story we used to explain our meeting to our guests, many of whom were kind of expecting a traditional wedding in a church (it was at a wildlife sanctuary and someone read a poem during the ceremony about one of us travelling back in time to have a three-way with past us.)
QuoteNow this is a story all about how
These two cats wound up exchanging vows
And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there
and check out our introduction unless it's TL;DR
The Fringe Bar, corner Cuba and Vivian Street
Was where Josh and MJ happened to meet
They saw each other at the bar and it was instant attraction
To be fair, though, they were pissed, so maybe that's the reaction
Then a cougar in the corner who was up to no good
Started making trouble in the neighbourhood.
Flirted for a moment and then MJ declared,
"Okay, he can walk you home, but don't take him upstairs!"
MJ fell into a taxi, to Josh's great sorrow,
But she called out of the window, "Come meet my mother tomorrow!"
Both of them delighted with this invitation
They proceeded with a weekend of constant inebriation
Seven weeks later they were living together
And two months after that, they said "let's make it forever!"
So they're planning a shindig and it won't be a flop,
Because Beastie Boys know when to let the beat...
...drop.
Highlight of the day, besides the getting married part, was our skilfully edited first dance which opened with slow dance in the same key as Never Gonna Give You Up, which it progressed into. Like, five out of fifty guests understood they were being rickrolled.
This is Signora and I, along with my parents and sister. You can WOMP any of us.

Congratulations, you two! :banana:
Also, we live-streamed it... but the person operating the computer changed the video source to the laptop camera instead of the external webcam we bought, so we have a reaction video of MJ's bored brother watching the ceremony, getting passed the rings for the ring-warming and proceeding to freak out when he didn't know who to pass them to next.

We really need to gif-set that.
That poem is fucking awesome.
:mittens: all around to a great party!
Congrats!
Your family looks like they know how to have a good time. :)
Congratulations you two!
You guys are SERIOUSLY cute, and your wedding photos are awesome! It's clear you come from goos stock, since your whole family went along with this awesomeness. :lol:
And the red wedding dress.
Everybody TALKS about doing that, but I've never seen anybody DO it.
Awesomeness. Congrats!
Is red a bad luck color or something?
Red is a baller ass color to get married in!
Awesomesauce.
Welcome to the married club, and married in red club. That white suit looks really good!

Hired white suit, unfortunately. I wanted to keep it and start and operate an opium den/coworking space.

Start that when you renew your vows.
