Married Life

[Boota]

So far, so good.

The wedding came off great. None of my relatives were offended at the lack of mention for God and they didn't even realize that the ceremony was a self-customized Wiccan ceremony. Lisa did an amazing job on everything. When I get pictures I will post some. We had a nice fire in the fireplace and candles everywhere. The overhead lights were dimmed. I didn't fuck up either of my lines. I almost switched "I do" with "Shit yeah", but decided against it.

Some things overheard:

My drummer, Tom: "There's no sugar and cream for the coffee."
My mom: "Drink it black, you pussy."

Elizabeth, my new step-daughter: "I'm changing my name to Cupcake Carpenter."

My nephew Jake: "Uncle Boota! Pick me up by my head!" (I do that all the time. I hope he grows out of it.)

Warren, one of my new fathers-in-law: "Welcome to the family... fucked up as it is."

Everyone in general: "Wow! You clean up good!"

Congrats!

Your mom's line is the best.

Agreed!

Although, "pick me up by my head" has serious potential. That's my dirty mind, though.

On behalf of all us heterosexual women here on the AH (and not a few non-hetero women):

Speaking as a guy...


When I hear that phrase I get images of America's Funniest Videos gone wrong, bothheadswise.

Warmest and happiest congratulations!​

Thanks everyone! I'm excited about the future with my new family.

I get the weirdest looks when little kids run up to me in public and beg to be picked up by the head. They don't realize, exactly, that when I make them hold on to my hands that I'm not really lifting them by their heads. Jake always wants me to do it without him holding on and I told him I can't or his head will come off. Once he let go when I had him in the air, so I dropped him.

xssve, my wife is the WIccan freak. LOL. I'm an atheist, but the ceremony was cool. It was done more like a tribute to love than any sort of religious statement. We were married by a Christian minister friend of ours who had no problem with performing the non-Christian ceremony. She did it as her gift to us.

Thanks 3113. I really had no clue I was THAT popular. Sure is nice to know, though.

jomar, there is a reason I turned out this way. My mom is a big part of it. Hard to believe how often I make her cringe, though.

Congratulations, buddy. The Best to you and your new family.

Heh, I'd have been a Wiccan if such a thing had existed when I was a child - I ended up being a Gnostic instead, and I'm way freakier than any Wiccan.

I used to (slowly) pick my son up by the head when he was small, as my brother did to me when I was a child to my immense gratification, but I quit when he got heavier, I became afraid of popping a vertebrae or something. He used to beg me to do it too, so I compromised by by lifting by the armpits, until he got too tall.

God, the shit we kids used to do out of boredom would probably get us all thrown in jail or into therapy nowadays.

Everyone in general: "Wow! You clean up good!"

I'm sure it's true!

Many congrats and may you have the best honeymoon ever!

(p.s. the "pick me up by my head" thing? *iced tea spew* Thought you should know! )
