Weddings

I think it is that season.  Wedding season.  This can be considered one of the happiest times of the year as we are surrounded by love everywhere, all the time.  I had a long discussion with a friend today about whether or not she would be taking her fiance's last name.  She feels that she wants to keep that part of her identity and if she takes her future husbands last name she may lose a part of herself.  She asked if I would take it.  I told her that Aydin and I had a long discussion about it and we decided we would both take his step dad's last name; a man we both loved and admired, rather than his bio-dad's name.  I told this girl that I would happily accept this part of him as it was a way of committing to each other.  Even though in the olden days it was a passing of a daughter from a father to the husband - I am happy to have the choice and I would have taken his last name. 

I am in Starbucks again. Last time I was here there were wedding consultants in here with clients.  Today I am watching a local Photographer discuss his work.  I might as well plug them since I have now stalked and found them through my impressive detective skills. http://www.renaissancestudios.ca/ Clint is the photographer that is here.  He had back to back people so far and from the website it looks like they do pretty good work. 

The same person I had a discussion with earlier about the last name we also discussed how the Rapture is now coming on October 21st and how I have to get married before then.  Haha.  5 months to go - and I am right in the middle of Wedding Season.  Or mating season.  (Weddings are great for men to find women to sleep with, I assure you Wedding Crashers was a great concept from what I've seen at weddings...) In either case I am ramping up; have my dresses picked out for the various weddings (can't have the same people seeing me in the same one, heaven forbid), figuring out how to fit flip flops into my clutch for the reception, shaving my legs, finding dates and participating in both Wedding and mating season.  :-)

Happy almost end of May!
