Yeah, and if you get paid for it, that's some consolation. Well, it wouldn't really be a job if we loved it, would it? Good luck with that this summer!

It's especially a decent way to bide your time if you get paid. I was the maid of honor at my own parents' wedding. That was odd.

I salute you as well, good luck!
Yes, that certainly is odd, even though not as odd as the thought that followed afterwards. That that would be "I was 5 when mom gave birth to me". Something is definitely wrong with me.
What's a maid of honor get to do?

I think it's kind of cool that you got to be there for your mother, Poofie. It's something you'll always remember.

Pretty much I got to stand there and hand them stuff. XD In fact, I got a little more participation than most maids of honor; they usually just stand there.
I will always remember it, that's true. I'll also remember how the "minister" showed up 12 hours late and so drunk my dad had to take over the ceremony. And how, instead of some fancy wedding cake, they got the Mother Lode cake from Claim Jumper. I'll always be a little miffed at the idiot who spilled wine in my treehouse but only dropped a napkin on top of the spill instead of wiping it up like a sane (read: sober) person. The next morning the napkin was encrusted there, and the treehouse was infested with ants for like two weeks afterwards.

Ewww. The wine thing is gross. Hehe! That's kind of funny, though. Your dad married himself to your mother. Did they have the reception in your treehouse? I can't imagine trying to climb up to a treehouse with a goblet of wine in hand. That would spill so easily. It sounds like you did have fun, though. That's cool!

They actually stood under it, but several guests observed the wedding from the treehouse. It was a relatively low treehouse, so getting food and beverages up there wasn't very hard--you just reached over your head and placed it on the lower teir before climbing up. I had quite a few dinners up there with friends. Ah, I miss that treehouse.
It was an unusually fun wedding! The ceremony didn't take more than twenty minutes, and the whole thing was part wedding part Halloween party. Even my parents were in costume--as Robin Hood and Maid Marian. Two other members of the wedding party dressed as the queen of England and as Friar Tuck, and in fact, the guy who was Friar Tuck really did shave his head in that bowl shape!

themed treehouse weddings, oh man! That's one I wish I were photographing, or videotaping. Unfun to have your treehouse tainted in that way though, that's almost as bad as somebody spilling something in your bedroom and not picking it up, I would think.
I bet it was pretty interesting to attend your parents' wedding too.

It was a pretty cool wedding. I remeber that the entire wedding party, guests included, lined up in front of the tree after the ceremony to take a group photo (with the exception of the guests who were taking photos--we didn't need to hire anyone, because there were so many photography nuts among them!). Quite a few people were already tipsy, and were trying to coax the neighbor's dog Bell to stick her head over the fence for the photo. XD She actually did that a lot, stick her head over the fence. You could just reach over and pet her. It was cool.

That's just awesome! If things ever work out for me, I hope my wedding is as memorable.

Somehow I have the feeling you're going to work a moose into your wedding, Pipe Organ. Maybe on your cake or something. XD *bricked*
...DUDE! I should have a hidden moose at my wedding, whenever that happens! Even better, a hidden moose game where you have to find the mooses, and the person with the most found mooses wins...something.

Assuming I ever get married. He seems to want to stay at the just friends stage. I'm not ready to move on, either. I can't imagine ever feeling anything for anyone else even close to what I feel for him. I think I understand his issue a bit more, though. I was watching Phantom of the Opera, and I noticed there is definitely a certain parallel between him/Erik and me/Christine. I hope it's something he comes to terms with.
/ me moping about my miserable love life.
I like the idea of a hidden moose game! Better yet, you and your husband to be ride in on a matched pair of moose!

Well, considering it looked for a long time like my mom wouldn't get married either, I wouldn't feel too bad about it. Even if it stays "just friends", there is still the possibilty of someone else showing up.
I would love to ride a moose! I just don't know how well moose can be trained. :/

I'm not sure I want someone else showing up. I've been in a few relationships before, where I thought I loved a guy, but what I feel for him is on a whole new level. There's nothing to compare it to. A part of me would just rather stay single and never worry about this. Maybe I should listen to that part more!
I imagine with enough patience, moose could be trained. I mean, someone sometime had to decide to train horses and camels and ostriches for the first time. It's got to be possible!
