Today I bought wedding magazines.

This was a mistake.

You want to know why this was a mistake? Well, I'm going to tell you. BECAUSE THE WEDDING INDUSTRY IS COMPLETELY BRIDE-ORIENTED AND IS NOT HELPING ME AT ALL.

I suppose this is good in its way, because it gives us license to invent our own traditions and make our own decisions, but on the other hand . . . I would really like to do this right.

At this rate you lot will be lucky if you get a cup of water and a slice of cake at the reception, I hope you realize that.

And you're only getting cake because Lorne wants cake.

I realise it is, but... Okay, I'm going to get up on my soap box here. The idea of the BIG OMG WEDDING is something that is perpetuated through the wedding industry. I'm not trying to say that for those that have to have it, going the nine yards is bad, I just don't think everyone should feel like they have to. It is exactly what I said it is, a party celebrating your union/love/commitment to each other and you can have it any way you want.

I plan on having a moon bounce at mine.

I think you should just do it like you guys. Don't worry about what you think you're supposed to do for a wedding. Do what you want. Whatever that is. If you don't want flowers, don't have them.

*massive hugs*

. . . maybe a few flowers.

*hugs*

*laughs* Indeed, maybe a few.

Okay, I had an idea and I don't even know if this ccan be feasibly done and if it can if... it would be a good idea.

But looking up pictures of wedding cakes I saw a few that were made to look like castles... Would it make Lorne too home sick to have one done like Atlantis? And like I said, is it even feasible?

Or is that a rly bad idea?

[Private to Martha]

I think that would be a very bad idea. Too many people will be there who don't know about Atlantis and this should not be their introduction.

[Private to Ianto]
I felt of those that didn't know, its not like they would automatically assume its a city in another galaxy.

But I get what you mean. It was just a passing thought.

[Private to Martha]

My family don't know what I do for a living. I don't want them to even think about other galaxies.

[Private to Ianto]
*nods* You're right. It is a bit much for family members to think of loved ones doing such dangerous work on a daily basis.

*tight hugs*

[Private to Martha]

I also don't want them to know about aliens.

[Private to Ianto]
Yeah. Apparently the idea to most people is... frightening. Honestly, not all aliens are bad.

[Private to Martha]

Enough of them are to worry me.
