Mostly what I want from my wedding day, if I have one, is the reception at a divey bar.

Wow, you have changed soooo much since I first started reading your blogs. And then again, you haven’t changed much. You are truly a unique woman. I’m so glad you have found your place at last. Enjoy it anyway you want.

I think I have not considered some things because it was a defense mechanism. I’m so glad for you

What better way to change institutions than from the inside? And who better to do that than the feminists and queers?
My wife and I walked down the aisle together. I wore red. Our 2 best friends married us w no mention of god and we had no wedding party.

MasterDoc was a bridal attendant at the wedding of one of his former submissives last year. Of course we joked about what his dress would look like, but in reality, it was wonderful for this woman to have her best friend beside her at her wedding. Who cares if he’s 30 yrs older than her and male? The photos of them from that day (he wore a tux, btw) show him beaming with pride.

Ha ha, yes, it’s all official when it’s on Facebook! I have the same feelings when it comes to marriage. I have friends who have had spiritual non-official and unconventional marriages that included people close to them (and lovely scenery!)- and that sounds romantic to me. On the other hand I have friends who are doing the traditional wedding, and I am more than a little put off when I see all the planning, work, and money that goes into it… not to mention the traditional values that includes one’s dad offering his (virgin) precious object to another man. As a child, I vowed never to marry as I sensed men’s position in society and thought marriage was a way of succumbing to men/slavery/patriarchy. But, like you, I’m changing, and now I think it can be a beautiful ritual if done right, and if one is thinking outside the box.

It’s nice to celebrate the commitment in your relationship in a similar way that you celebrate other acheivements in life – graduation, birthdays, births of children. Obviously there are so many issues with weddings/marriage because of their ties to the patriarchy and that mess of stuff, but I think you can avoid that for the most part as you describe. You sort of described my dream wedding. I also think you would love the wedding cakes here: http://choccywoccydoodah.com – was trying to persuade a friend to buy one but £2000 is a bit much!

I think that its wonderful you have found someone you want to commit to. And remember a wedding can be an awesome party and you can totally have a sex toy registry.
