[DomLuka] Catch up time!

[Davey]

Hello!

 

I kinda got a mini telling off today for not keeping in touch with you guys enough. (no names but sorry kitty ) If you want to say hello stick me on your MSN im always about.

Well we have almost decided that were going to marry in Canada but it will be next year or 07 not sure. There's so much that needs to be sorted. were only looking into stuff just now and im already stressed with the whole "wedding" stuff!

The jobs going great its so nice to live in the city now, well ok mini city but city all the same, after 24 years stuck out in the sticks. Chris is an absolute honey at looking after me, I can see us growing old together which is good since he's never getting away.

Chris sends his love to the "Gay Book Group" by the way.

I just realised today that im letting the UK side down. Im never going to reach Advanced member at the rate im going. I mean Ben as well over 100 posts and im trailing behing at like 87. Well that 88 now so im off to see where i can send more posts

take care all...

 

Love you's

Thanks for the update, Dave. Glad things are going well. And yeah, I think I'm starting to respond to everything because my number of posts is pathetically low too.

Way to go Kitty! You got the young lug to give us an update. Women are so much better at relationships than we men.

 

Thanks, Dave. Great update. Canada, what an excellent choice of venue!

 

I understand the stress you're experiencing around the wedding plans. Even though it's a positive event, it is one of the most stressful times in anyone's life. Straight men have it so good. They practically do nothing more than show up for the wedding. Planning weddings is another thing that women excel at.

 

If Chris is dealing with it better, you might just want to hand over the reins to him. Of course, he will want your input on the major issues, but if he's really into it - I say let him go for it. There's also professional wedding planners but that does add to the cost.

 

"The Gay Book Group" I absolutely love it.

 

Hugs,

Conner

Nothing wrong with not having many posts if what you say has meaning and depth .

 

You need not say that it must explain why I have so many posts. That would just be a droll and derrivative knee-jerk reaction, much too far below you usually high level of witticism.

 

 

Dave, I'm glad all is going swimmingly, good job in picking the superior continent to get married in.

I believe the only added benefit of getting to 250 posts is the new 'advanced member' title.

 

I would hope that people aren't getting 'posting envy' and will post just for the sake of posting

 

And to keep on topic, I sure wish Dom would 'Catch Up' and post his next chapter of TOU. I've been stuck with an image of Quinn grabbing Jude and kissing him on the lips (which are covered in marshmallow) for all too long.

I thought I was posting a lot today, until I noticed that so far Snow Dog is at 24.

I'm in one of those moods where I have to comment on almost everything someone says.

 

I hope I don't get into a 'last word' fight tonight

"The Gay Book Group" - I found this phrase funny as this is what my kids call it anytime I'm online.

 

Dave, save yourself a major headache. Elope !!! That aisle is one hell of a long walk.

I agree totally. Elope and have a nice reception later. I remember the time I told the hubby..."Fine, plan the damn thing yourself." Not that I would ever give up control of anything. I'm a bit of a control freak.

Stop! In the name of love

Before you break my heart

Think it over

 

 

I don't want to bust anyone's chops on elopement but let's hang on here a moment. It seems to be a little early in the game to throw in the towel. In my mind, elopement should be more of a last resort sort of thing - like when one or both families are totally opposed to the marriage and will not attend the event under any circumstances. I'm pretty sure no one's pregnant here either. Eloping for convenience's sake or to avoid the stress of planning is just not the way to go.

 

I suppose, in a sense, Dave and Chris do have a "planned elopement" in the works anyway. I don't imagine there'll be a skybus full of people coming over to Canada. A reception of some sort back in Scotland would likely be part of the plan.

 

There's nothing wrong with asking for help, Dave. Often family or close friends would love to get involved. I could certainly help out at this end.

 

Hang tough, Dave. :2hands:

 

Hugs,

Conner

OK I would have never Eloped. GoBears gad suggested we go to Vegas and get married, but I wasn't having it. I have a huge family and there was no way I wasn't having our traditional wedding. I loved every second of our wedding, but I would never do it again.

 

Dave....Conner has a point about asking family and friends for help. My only advice is make sure they remember it's about what you and Chris want.

Your a crazy bunch! In 12 hours Ive gone from a little stress to eloping!

It's the 'I'm getting what I want' part that can drive you nuts. I have two sisters, no brothers. I was the first to get married and I had to fight my Mother on everything. The woman was a pain in the ....well, you know. As long as you and Chris are the one's making the choices, then everything should be okay.

 

But I agree with Mag, there is no way I would go through that again.

Lol, my mother's not going to get near the planning of my wedding, except maybe the cake making side (she makes kick ass wedding cakes), then again I more or less have mine and Seb's wedding planned in my head, even though we're not really more than engaged, lol, because I am obsessive like that.

[BoyNeedsTherapy]

LOL that sounds very wise. A lot of people never learn how to handle their parents; it sounds like you're well on your way with that.

 

Lol, I wish I knew how to handle my mother, I'm always worried that she'll cry, but I figure if I give her small weddings tasks to focus on, cake, seating plan etc she'll be happy and occupied...not that I spend much time thinking about such things...*ahem*

[Sugarmag]

I have to say other than my one sister offering to help plan my wedding shower and then telling me that "Next time you can do it yourself." when I didn't agree to something I had everything I wanted.

 

Now my other sister had what we call the Green Beans and Corn Dispute. Her mother-in-law wanted to have green beans served as the vegatable. Well, my sister hates green beans so she ordered corn to be served. This argument went on for months before the wedding only to end with her mother-in-law calling the reception hall and having green beans added to the menu.
