We are NOT married, but neither do we live together either. THAT is the only reason we are together now. I thought I was the onlyiest woman in the world who never wanted a walk=down wedding. I never wanted the big dress, the big to=do, the daddy walking me down the aisle to the age old music, nor the standing at the altar reciting the old familiar words. It has never been me, nor will it ever be me. I personally never wanted to be married, I have never wanted children, so that makes me one of the rare freaks of nature against the norm. Not to disparage anyone who DOES do the whole planning for a year, spending up all their money, their parent's money, the fiance's money and burning up their BRAIN CELLS. I find it utterly wasteful to spend that kind of money when it can be used to put a HUGE down payment on a fine house. It is hard for me to justify that sort of expense & stressful experience JUST for a show for everyone else to see. I know it is beautiful, memories to last a lifetime, something you can tell & show your grandchildren. It is just not me. I attended a wedding a couple years ago that the young bride's dress cost over $10,000.00 JUST THE DRESS. Her cake? Delivered on a plane from NEW YORK CITY cost $1000's of dollars, and it tasted HORRIBLE. (dress was GORGEOUS) You know what they served at reception? White wine, shrimp, baked brie, you name it, they had it. I had to beg for water, as I don't drink wine. Me? Courthouse sounds like heaven. Or Justice Of The Peace like my mama & daddy. Prob go to Panama City Beach, FL just run off someday and do it. HAHAHA Lisa, please do not be offended. I am NOT pointing ANY of this at you. I do not want you to be upset, or sad, or disappointed in me for saying those things. I am who I am, I cannot apologize for my brain. Well. I can apologize, but it may be hard to accept. I love ya. doradjcrow1524https://www.blogger.com/profile/17398011928321229670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6359846630667424988.post-35181261489167578052013-08-22T17:43:12.131-04:002013-08-22T17:43:12.131-04:00Never dreamed of a big wedding.

In 22 years we've never regretted anything but the wasted first 3 weeks! Good luck and I wish you a long and happy life together!DustyJilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05924932836997031041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6359846630667424988.post-43747554155597917352013-08-22T17:02:45.324-04:002013-08-22T17:02:45.324-04:00never dreamed of a wedding, just one helluva rece...never dreamed of a wedding, just one helluva reception party :)EVERYTHINGSDIAMONDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07872190116908550491noreply@blogger.com
