COZEN

So, Seryn, well, any of you BritBrowncoats, turns out my nephew is starting grad school this September in Swansea. Means I'm kinda sorta obligated to make an earlier flight into the U.K. than I'd originally planned for S3.

I have no idea if this means anything, so please not to worry, eh? Just thought there might be a 10% or so possibility we could meet up at a pub somewhere near yer neighbourhood, is all.

Right now, September is all about travel plans for the cozen, and it just occured to him that we'll meet in Atlanta beforehand anyway, so why, gorram it, am I even posting this post?

Congrats Citizen.

Okay, in need of some quick advice. I'm going to a wedding at four o'clock this afternoon and was wondering if it's okay to wear a black dress with a white sash, and white (or pink) sweater??? Is it inappropriate? What does the nook say?

*shakes* the Nook says... "it is decidedly so2

what the hell does that mean?

*shakes* "ask again later"

well bullocks to that.

ok, I say i've herd of no rule that says you cant wear black to a wedding, as long as its not crepe and you don't have a veil. The monochromatic look is very big in this country at the moment, so go for it. The only think i'd be iffy about is the pink sweater, but thats only because I have an unreasonable dislike of baby pink.

I don't know, what does Serenity say?

So I wore the black with the white sweater- it was fine. There were other people there wearing black. What a long evening. I officially do not like weddings. If I ever get married I'm gonna elope- maybe go to vegas...yeah that's what I'll do. Weddings are too much trouble and definitely too long.

i was reading somewhere, or someone was telling me, about a couple who got married in a sushi resturant, quick civil service, food was served, everyone went home

Entirly souless, and thats even the opinion of a romanciphobe, but efficient, and the answer for people who hate weddings.

I don't know whether I like them or not, haven't been to one since i was eight. My family doesn't even do parties or reunions, so god knows how I react to spending a day with them.

The reason I hate weddings is that no matter how hard I try to just show up, eat cake and leave, I always end up watching someone's kids or running to the store for more punch supplies or another table cloth or teaching the caterers the proper way to slice wedding cake or yelling at the groomsmen to leave the damned keg alone for 5 minutes and help carry the decorations in for crying out loud or sewing a ripped seam or something. I can never just sit back at a wedding and have fun. It's always "Serenity, would you mind...?" and the next thing I know, I'm up to my elbows in buttercream.

Part of me loves that people feel they can count on me for, well, anything, but the other part of me wishes people could just learn to take care of themselves and leave me alone for a bit.

That, and I find most weddings incredibly tacky. I know I'm supposed to find the plastic swans and candied almonds romantic and sweet, but, yeah, not so much!

Wow, that was a rant! Sorry. No idea where that came from!

My issue was that there was no one my age there that I knew. I basically went to keep my mom company. Plus, everyone at my table was at least 20 years older than me and goes to my church. If one more person had asked me what I was up to these days I might've hurt them. After reciting the same speech about being in college and yeah it's great (not really, but no one wants to hear that you hate it) you get a little tired. Okay, I'm done I think.

Bah, last family thing I went to, I go shoved on the end of the table with my dad's mothers friends. My sister had just got engaged, so all they did was talk about how great she and her fiance (who was an idiot and i'm so glad they broke up) were, in between asking me a hundred times if Iwas 'courting' yet (yup, thats right folk, they said 'courting') then asking me why.

(of course, giving them the answer 'well, my boyfriend was going to propose, but then he found out that I wasn't really keen on the idea of swinging or S&M and really didn't want to set up a bondage den in the basement. Still, his loss, for my next conquest i'm thinking maybe a big hairy, sweaty, beer guzzling Hells Angel, but i've yet to meet any in Birkenhead' would probably result in the need to call paramedics (maybe I should have done it, would have put paid to similar situations in the future...) And the real answer (a desperate cry of 'I'm nineteen fer chrissakes! I'm barely out of the 'boys smell wierd' phase! Get off my back you coffin dodging bunch of crones!) would harldly have been more appropriate.)

so I mumbled something about being busy and happy single and got the significant looks and silent mouthings of 'lesbian' all bloody night.

And to cap it all the food was bloody awful!

Now Serenity dear... that was a rant.

That was a nice rant. I'm impressed.

I can totally relate though. For the past four years or so (I'm 19 at the moment, soon to be 20, just so you know) everytime I go to a family gathering my grandfather always asks me if I have a boyfriend (mostly b/c he has nothing else to say to me) and I always say no. It gets really old. I went to a private high school for four years- there were no more than 6 guys in my grade on average! It's not like I had a lot to pick from! Plus, I'm not into partying which is basically the main form of entertainment around here, so it doesn't leave a lot of options. Anyway, he's since stopped asking which is good, of course other family members ask so I don't think I'll ever get away from that.

I just tell the truth, I say I'm working on the escape plan for the only woman insane enough to consider marrying me but the details are a little sketchy and I haven't been able to locate a Voodoo priest yet.

No problem, I can just reduce thoses down if you tell me to. But for accuracy's sake.

I don't need them now, i've still got to make mine to fine tune the pattern, but i'd like to start on yours by the end of june at least, that way i've got time to odredr more bones/ bits/ start over again entirely if it all goes hideously wrong.

okay, well then, why don't I wait till the end of June at the latest to get my measurements to you in case there's change? I'm trying very hard for there to be.

You let me know when you need them and I will get them to you. Sound good?

And there will be no going hideously wrong! I have faith in you, it's going to be fantastic.

No, on the contrary, these are relatively simple style, only four basic pieces and lots of room for sizing error 'cause they are open down the front, (otherwise I would never have attempted them without fittings) my main concerns are that they don't end up too short or long.

But yes, i'll try to get mine done, make sure my pattern works, in june, then yours.

I've only been to one wedding, but that was my experience, too. I didn't even really know the bride and groom, but I ended up in the actual ceremony (i had to pull out the runner in front of the flower girl). Ok, well my gf at the time was the maid of honor, so that's probably why I got picked for runner duty.

I also was sent for supplies and ended up babysitting (adults...why is it that i'm always the responsible drunken one?).

I may be in the minority here, but I have always liked weddings. Grooms are always nervous, brides are always beautiful, and the flower girl and ring bearer are usually good for a supressed chuckle or two. I have been in a few, but never had the honor of runner duty

Did you get to put it on some girl's leg? A friend of mine caught the bouquet and didn't realize that the guy that caught the garter was going to put it on her leg. She was mortified! We had to practically hold her down on the chair and she kept holding her skirt down at her knee so the guy couldn't get it on. But, you know, when her wedding came around, there they were, flinging garters about!

I caught the bouquet at my best friend's wedding, 6 years ago. I think that's enough for me. I refuse to even try now.

As long as we are on garters...I tried to make the one for my wife, but ran out of time, so I had to be satisfied by putting chain mail on the one her mother bought for her. Needless to say, it did not fly well when I threw it

, but the funny thing is that her 6-year old nephew came out of nowhere and snatched it before it hit the ground.
