    Huckdoll: I think I’d only be successful if everyone wanted the exact same wedding. Then, really, I’d just be bitchy, since everyone had MY wedding.

    Jess: Maybe I should consider going on a date, before I consider what to say on it. Ooh, or what to wear!

  14. Zoeyjane on November 11th, 2008 1:17 am

    Mrs. Kitty: a white gold band, with a square-cut sapphire in a princess setting. Maybe.

  15. Zoeyjane on November 11th, 2008 1:18 am

    Kim: oh, you’ll be there, but only if you promise to wear a sarong and leather-strapped sandals. (it’s my fantasy, just go with it)

    ‘I’ve tweezerd my brows and I’ve even bathed, now I’m ready for my happy-ever-after.’

    Now that would be a sweet pick up line.

    Ooo Ooo Can I be a bridesmaid? I want to wear fairy wings!

  20. lceel on November 11th, 2008 8:35 am

    Why, God? Why? You have fucked with me all my life and now that things are winding down, you’re starting up all over again. This is so not fair. Do I go prancing vestal virgins up and down in front of you, taunting you, saying, “Here you go God, Look at what YOU CAN’T HAVE”? Do I do that? No. I don’t. So why you gotta mess with me? Huh?

    You might be ready, but can he handle you? Good luck with the search. I think Hockeyman would look peachy in fairy wings too.

    Perfection for me wasn’t found until after I hit 38, No I’m not saying the wait is forever. Just the right guy needed to be mellowed out to the point when he sees me at my worst, he still goes gagga over me.

    The wedding is indeed a fairytale. Hope it does comes true…(Hugs)Indigo

    Well, I would look lovely in a fairy-inspired dress, you know that right? Right.

    You will find Mr. Right. I have faith that we all will some day. Now quite sure how, but we will.

    In the meantime, you got me!
