Title: A WEDDING
Post by: bk on October 11, 2015, 12:33:19 AM: Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of a wedding, and now it is time for you to post until the happily wedded cows come home - they had a lovelier than lovely MOOrraige ceremony.

Title: Re: A WEDDING
Post by: ChasSmith on October 11, 2015, 05:50:47 AM: Congrats from here, too, but count me in with those who are less than thrilled at the prospect of attending weddings.

I have loved the small, intimate, and unique ceremonies that a few of my closest friends have come up with over the years. Those were touching and moving, as well they should be. Beyond that, I am happy to celebrate the happy couple's event in any way that doesn't involve my participation in the wedding (and especially reception) assembly line process.

Thanks, DR Vixmom! The most annoying thing about this is that it's delaying my getting my new prescription filled. I'd hoped to have new glasses and sunglasses before our trip to New York, but that's not gonna happen. Maybe I'll have them for my trip to Boston (yes, Boston) in January (yes, January).

Post by: Jane on October 11, 2015, 06:38:18 PM: Our walk tonight was exceptionally lovely, especially the view as we walked the path back home.

Keith took a beautiful photo of the water, clouds, and Mt. Hood.

I put the photo into our group Photobucket page. I can preview the pic but when I post it suddenly becomes too large of a file. I'm stumped now.

Interesting, it still said the file was too large after I removed the link to the photo.

I think the real answer is number 3. I've mellowed out about the wedding and after a good night's sleep and in a much better mood about it. I still am not keen on weddings, but I'd rather be invited than not. I'll have fun once I get there.

Going to rehearsal isn't fun anymore and it hit me today that I really don't want to make time for something that I'm not enjoying anymore. So I told them I was going to sit out the next concert and probably won't be back until January.

Sami knew what the bad and the ugly were and she's really working on it, but I concentrated on the good mostly and there was plenty of it to concentrate on.

However, the carbonara, which has always been the best in town, was not that hot tonight. Something in it, flavor-wise, didn't feel right - Sami tasted it and didn't care for it, and if it had been up to snuff she absolutely would have loved it.

Thanks. I think it will. They only meet twice a month. It's on Sunday, but that's better than having it every single Wednesday night. I've had and will have a lot of long days at the office and am looking forward at being able to come home mid week an relax. I may go back in January. I left the door open for that, but we'll see.

I do still want to play, so I sent a message to the flute choir I used to be in and they were thrilled I want to come back. I'm really looking forward to it. It may turn out to be a better fit for me now that I'm more busy at the office.

Or maybe I'm not if this is better :)

Nice. We need to go to Mt. Hood one of these days.

I am really thankful for band over the past few years as it got me playing again. But, it's changed and I've gotten busier. In the flute choir I can play my alto flute and piccolo in addition to my c flute and the attitude is fun and supportive. I feel very good about the decision. And if I want to go back to band in a few months, I can.

Add me to the list of people that don't like to attend wedding receptions. I am happy for the couple, certainly. And they deserve their celebration with family and friends. But it all seems so forced, usually, with all of the prescribed "traditions." And I intensely dislike having to make small talk with people I don't know. The ceremony itself I usually don't mind.

I don't mind going to weddings, but only if I know other people who are there. But I do agree with forced traditions idea. Not very ineresting to me. :-\

I've watched a couple episodes of Indian Summers, didn't watch the third one, but have it recorded. I like Home Fires better
