I figured. I'm guessing the big massive church wedding thing isn't huge in the poly community. I'm figuring more smallish ceremonies. Perhaps in wooded areas.
Yeah, it was an outdoor woodland wedding.
And you're right!
It wasn't pagan, though. They didn't do any cheesy handfasting thing.
Oh I wasn't assuming pagan. I'm guessing more generic christian, or something secular. But I'm assuming hippie elements.

"pagan" elements as used today really are just a subset of hippie elements. They have no basis whatsoever in pre-christian europe. Any resemblence when it occurs is pure coincidence.
Attacked by tweeeeeeees!

Telemarketers are really easy to spot, because EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM asks for "Mr. or Mrs. (my fiancee's last name)" because most things are in her name.
No, Mr (her last name) isn't here because he doesn't fucking exist.
Not very spoilery observation about the game of thrones TV show as it relates to the books. Posting it here because book talk is verboten in the TV thread and there is no way you are ever going to get me to click on the book thread because I've only read two and a half of the books and don't feel like having the whole series ruined for me:
Holy crap the TV show is doing a FANTASTIC job of trimming all of the useless fat from the book. I was thinking the TV show might get me excited to read the books again, but so far it feels to me like the TV show really just is the superior version of the story.

I know. I was differentiating the generic made up nature worship from the "Hey man, we're all brothers and sisters who should love each other" hippie ethos.

I'm just saying that pagan woodland stuff is a common theme for poly ceremonies.
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
elendil are you coming to this comic book movie thing
Is that the "watch all the Marvel movies in one day leading up to midnight Avengers" thing?
I seriously thought about it. If it were on a weekend, and I didn't have to take a day off work, I would probably do it.
it is on a weekend- saturday. you could come in friday night, crash, stay up all day saturday drinking and movie-ing, crash, recover sunday during the day, fly out sunday night
just saying brah
would love to have you over for it... the fun starts saturday, may 5th (or the nearest saturday to that day) at 9:30am - we are planning signature cocktails for each film to start, with general boozing inbetween.

What does it mean when a dude catches the garter at a wedding? Cause it was flipped right at me. I couldn't possibly avoid it. Directly into my not outstretched or open hands.
finished the appendicies for The Return of the King this weekend and started (re) reading The Silmarillion. The edition in the google book store is newer than the hardback I have and has a pretty interesting letter by Tolkien to his publisher (from 1951, just as the Return of the King was being published) explaining what the hell the Silmarillion is all about.
One of the best things about Tolkien is that the guy wrote constantly. He pretty much could only think on paper. And the gargantuan masses of his writing has been carefully organized and made available by his son. So his writings provide a case study in how he wrote LOTR. All the details of why he wrote one thing instead of another or different versions over time or what parts were written when and what Tolkien thought about all of it. That level of documentation on the process of the writing of a book by the author (as opposed to later commentary / analysis) is pretty unique.

What, you mean like after the king and then her husband?
At my cousin's wedding, my 17 year old cousin caught the bouquet. My family also has a tradition of the guy catching the garter putting it on whoever catches the bouquet. I made sure I took a dive. Faked my knee going out. Some traditions are just bad.

the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
No, but this also isn't a game of throne thread and I err on the side of caution when it comes to these things.
Looks like the wife and I will be seeing Cabin in the Woods at 7:20 tonight.

maybe that is why i am alone
They no longer do affordable buckets of beer on nights like that. Thumbs down.
What happened, Alamo Drafthouse? (pauses, adjusts hipster glasses) You used to be cool.
I have one from my brother's wedding five years ago
have had precisely as much luck with the ladies before as after
I see a couple of possibilities on the Wiki disambiguation page.
Well you're not supposed to carry it around showing it to them Carrot
It's a link to the song "Ok Blue Jays" that's played every game at the SkyDome.
My life is complete. This is it. This is all I needed. I can go now.
