And the bride typed in a lovely white font

[midwestyankee]

Courtesy of my friend Scalywag and with additional influence from one of my sons, I've started poking around fark.com for amusement.

Today I found this story, Online Chatting Leads to Virtual Wedding about a couple who were married after several months of daily online chats and emails (plus the occasional phone call). The ceremony was performed by a Muslim cleric. What was unusual about the wedding? First of all, the groom was in the United States while his blushing (we hope) bride was in Indonesia so they were married via an online video connection. Oh, and next month the bride will travel to the United States to meet her new husband for the first time.

Immediately after the ceremony the happy couple left for their honeymoon in a private chat room in an unknown portal.

Ya gotta love the Internet!

Man, you guys are too much. I can't take credit for the fark.com suggestion though, I've never heard about it until today when I saw silverwhisper mention it. I did check it out though.

My mistake but once you got there I'm sure you can see why I thought that it was you sho had mentioned it before - the quality of the humor is pure New England smartass.

God that's too much, even for me and I'm a strong believer in the internet and relationships that can grow from it!

And on another note Yank...I've always said that if I ever married again I was going to follow through on my intentions (before my first wedding) of wearing red

Can I be a bridesmaid?

The only other time I was a bridesmaid, the dress was a lovely PeptoBismol pink. So attractive.

Which brings up another question. Why are bridesmaids' dresses so hideous most of the time?

Sorry for the hijack, Yank.

Don't hold you breath bg...I don't plan on remarrying. But no you can't wear purple! *giggles* the only colour I don't like.


To answer your question...so the bride has no competition on HER day.

Yup aren't they usually hideous. I only had one bridesmaid...told her the colour scheme of the wedding and to pick out a long dress she loved and could wear again!

Yank...hijacking his thread? like he'll mind...hey Yank....catch

That must be it. I only know I have seen so many dresses that made you wonder what could they have been thinking. The worst was a wedding in which the bride and her two bridesmaids were all on the large side, and she had them in tight strapless gowns in a bilious dark green.

Of course I was no better. My bridesmaids wore holly red as it was Christmas time. I look at the pictures today, and I feel like I owe them an apology.

Can I wear PJs? You can pick the colour.

About bridesmaid dresses, upon arriving home from a brother's wedding I walked in the door and went directly to the closet that held the wastebasket. I unzipped the dress letting it drop to the floor and then off came the white nylons, of course the shoes had been dispensed of long before. I pulled from my hair the comb thingie - it had those little bouncy bead things, into the trash that went... then the nylons... then the dress... and I threw the shoes in like I was Cy Young!

It was a good thing the closet also had some coats because another brother and friend walked in and I was standing there in just my bra and panties --- what a waste of $250.

This isn't a total hijack - we're talking about weddings at least.

Depends Cate...are your PJs the silky kind or flannel? I'm thinking the wedding will either be in the Caribbean or Paris and flannel just won't do for either. Colour...I'll need to get back to you on that...don't know your colouring.


$250 for a bra and panties! My god Cate you've even exceeded me.

Oh no, the dress and the lovely acessories were $250... straight into the trash.

I never do flannel - even without hot flashes I can't handle flannel. Silk all the way, as for my coloring - I'm lucky, I can do almost any. If we're in the islands we could go island floral.

I thought that a true islands wedding would be au naturel.



Just my 2 cents, ya know.

Good...don't think flannel was any where near what I had in mind.


If it's the islands...I think you need to change from those PJs to a dress...so many nice summer ones to choose from

God Yank...what island were you thinking of? I'm definitely NOT getting married au naturel. Not even if you bump it up to $1

It wouldn't have to be au naturel--You could make it grass skirts optional. I think that would be kind of nice. Grass skirts and no tops for the ladies and the men could wear banana leaf loincloths. Mmmm--thinking about Yank in a loincloth... Hubba hubba.

By the way, WW, I thought there wasn't even going to be a wedding.
How come I'm always the last to know these things?

With my spindly legs I think that ankle-length grass skirts could be optional for the men.

Why, the island of make-believe, of course.

oh..ok I can go for that bg...but I'll need to even out my tan a bit...*didn't go topless sun bathing with the family around for my son's Caribbean wedding*


Well you know what they say ...never say never....but I honestly can't see there being a wedding in my future...last I checked polygamy was illegal where I live....


but I'm enjoying having fun 'planning' it.

and on that island I want to see you in the loin cloth please? pretty please?

Legs? Who's looking at your legs??

Oh dear God! I'm in shock here! Call 911!
