The squirrel was lying in the road, next to a big red smudge. It was on its back, with one hand over its breast and the other arm outstretched, as if to say... well, I don't know what, but I'm sure it was a dramatic scene.

So... are you getting married soon, or what? I've seen references to it, but no details.

Just out of curiosity, are either of you going to change your name/s? Why or why not?

Date: 2004-04-22 02:19 pm (UTC)From:After much deliberation, I have decided to change my name. My first name sounds pretty good with his last name. I see it as a sign of solidarity and a symbol, like the ring, of our union. Besides there are only five of them in the western hemisphere and I am tired of being asked if I am related to so and so. If we were to hyphenate, I would have a nineteen letter last name.
My sincerest congratulations to you both!

Date: 2004-04-22 08:10 am (UTC)From:I proposed here.That caused quite a stir because it wasn't evident to the readers that I was right there in the room with her (kneeling next to her chair, as a matter of fact). Everyone was like, "I'd kill him if he proposed to me over the internet." I thought it reasonable to do it that way, since we met at LiveJournal. We're not getting married online, though.
Our wedding will be a small one at thr courthouse with just the close family. Later this summer we plan on having a large reception/party - as large as we can manage. Is yours going to be a big one? Are you able to squeeze a honeymoon in? We're not having one - we don't have time right now.
I can't imagine changing my name for any reason, so I'd never ask my wife to change her name to mine. But she wants to, so that's nice. (http://www.livejournal.com/users/low_delta/370224.html)

Date: 2004-04-22 02:35 pm (UTC)From:1. March 22, 2003, we were "temporarily married" by his dad. It is an Islamic tenant that makes us living together okay. Think five year lease, no strings attached but no guilt.
2. May 3, 2003, our pagan friends gave us a handfasting.
3. October 22, 2004, god willing, we will be legally married.
We are having a small ceremony out at a camp site with friends and perhaps my family. We haven't decided whether or not to invite them yet. But the guest list keeps growing. I am planning on food for at least 75, but will probably have more. The list at last count was up to 49 guests. If I invited family and close family friends(the ones that show up to everything invited or not) would add at least 65 people without thinking too hard. So, no family.
We are going to make all of the food and cake and decorations and clothes and invitations, etc. When I say we, I mean myself and all of my cohorts. I've already had a lot of help. So, it is going to be a hell of an undertaking. But, I am looking forward to having all of our friends in one place for a change.
The kicker is that we still have to get permanently Islamically married. So I have at least one other wedding to go. We will be the most married couple, to each other, in the world.
No honeymoon yet. Not enough cash. Not enough time. We are going to camp overnight, but I start internal medicine that Monday.
Sorry so verbose.

I would have preferred smaller, but Cyn pointed out how important it was to these people to be witness to the event. We hope that our reception/party will be very big. We'd like to invite everyone we know. I expect it's going to be some kind of picnic.

Date: 2004-04-22 01:27 pm (UTC)From:The really great part is that I asked her to marry me less than fifteen minutes into our conversation. I was like, "I'm single. Will you marry me? I'm serious." I wasn't, but it makes a great story.
It took me a few weeks to realize it, but I had been in love with her since that night. I love her more than anything in this world, and I can't wait for her to be my wife. I hope that you and your fiancée love each other as much as we do, because I really think that sincere love between people makes a difference in the world. I think the sun shines a little brighter and the leaves are a little greener. But maybe that's just me.
Congratulations again. =)
