Bravo to the Ohio judge!

Ummm...this brings to mind a question that has bothered me for a long time.

In a same sex wedding, who gives the bride away? Which one is it? And how do they know? :confused:
 
I am very glad to hear of this. It gives me some hope for the future of gay marriages elsewhere, though, like you, Stella, I don't know how long this ruling will last.

Giving the bride away is a somewhat outdated tradition that is now only practiced in the most stodgily traditional weddings. In the 21st century, women speak for themselves.

(I'm probably taking a tongue-in-cheek remark too seriousl, i"ve just always thought the "giving away" thing was retarded)

I haven't seen my dad in 20+ years, so my mom gave me away. She pretty much raised me by herself anyway. I thought it was sweet.

James,

You wrongly assumed I was speaking of a lesbian relationship. :eek:

Fuck, and you can't change thread titles. :eek:


Four letters, begin and end with vowels, really only two letters difference...

easy mistake...

What I wanna know is, what were you so distracted by? ;)
 
Iowa is where Rogers & Hammerstein's "State Fair" takes place. Here's the "I Owe Ioway" song (part of it):

All I Owe Ioway
Oh, I know all I owe I owe Ioway,
I owe Ioway all I owe and I know why.
I am Ioway born and bred,
And on Ioway corn I'm fed,
Not to mention her barley, wheat, and rye!

Chorus:
I owe Ioway for her ham and her beef and her lamb,
And her strawberry jam, and her pie!

*************
The rest of the song is folk singing about what they owe "Ioway" like
"I owe Ioway more than I can ever pay,
So I think I'll move to Californi-a"

What verse (verses) can we make up for this newest thing that we owe "Ioway"? Make Rogers & Hammerstein proud! :cathappy:
 
Am I the only one who found 'Christopher Rants' an appropriate name for a Republican House Minority Leader. ;)
 
Who gives a shit about marriage anyways? If they wanna do it, let them, marriage is stupid anyways. If some guy wants to buy the...bull...let them (get it, like "buying the cow")
 
<wondering if he should volunteer that he'd assumed from the thread title that Iowa was a town inside Ohio>

I have a vague knowledge of states, but I'm very easily confused on US geography.

Ohio is the third one to the right of Iowa. Well known for rubber (Goodyear), the Pro Football Hall of Fame, The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, its rather large Amish community, and Lake Erie on its northeastern border.

*grin* I think Dickens is back and active in naming politicians ...
 
I guess there'll be a lot of happy feet tapping away in Iowan bathroom stalls tonight! :devil: (could not resist)
 
Speaking of names, we have this from the Senator Craig story:

If Craig does leave office, Idaho Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter would name an interim replacement to serve until next year's election. Otter would most certainly name a fellow Republican, and that person would most likely have a major edge in the 2008 contest, because Idaho is a heavily Republican state.

Otter? What is this, Animal House?

Damn. Now that I think of it, I wish it was. Then the senator could take the podium with a rousing "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?!"
