I was surprised how much of the planning my husband wanted to do for our wedding. I would have fine with him just picking his groomsmen, but he & I had to agree on every little detail. We’re still married after 25 years, but it was a real wake-up call for me, as I thought he’d leave that sort of stuff to me.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this cartoon is entered as evidence in the Prop 8 trial here in California:
“If we allow women to marry women, WHO’LL PLAN THE WEDDING? With two competing visions of ‘the Perfect Day’, there’ll be blood in the streets!”
It makes about as much sense as the other arguments they’re pulling out of their butts…
On the other hand, what a great movie that would make! It would HAVE to be worthier of the title “Bride Wars” than that ridiculous Hudson/Hathaway flick.
Two guys getting married would have it much easier: “Dude. Do you?” “You bet.” Then each does a ceremonial Jager shot, they exchange T-shirts, the bartender turns the volume back up on the TV, and everyone heads to the back for the complimentary BBQ.
It’s true, Joe, I am FAR from being a homophobe. One of the things I honestly ADMIRE about you is that you are an openly gay Christian, in a part of the country where that is often (wrongly) considered a contradiction is terms. Despite everything else I’ve called you on, that’s an area I’ve never touched. Neither will I joke about your military experiences, nor the trials of growing up in the Depression.
I’ve been very vocal in SUPPORT of same-sex marriage, and find the arguments AGAINST it to be worthy of mockery.
Well, in the absence of specific examples, I’m sure I don’t know what “homophobic language” you’re referring to. It’s a cliche to say it, but “Some of my best friends are gay”, and they’d certainly be surprised to find someone calling me a homophobe. What my gay friends have which you apparently lack is a sense of humor, and what you have that they lack is a chip on your shoulder. I’ve heard the best Lawyer Jokes from lawyers, I’ve heard the best Jewish Jokes from Jews, and I’ve heard the best Gay Jokes from gay men. (I know gay lawyers, I know Jewish lawyers, and I know gay Jews, but I don’t think I know a single gay Jewish lawyer. More’s the pity, because just imagine the jokes he’d know!)
I acknowledge my error concerning your birth year, and apologize. It was not poorly meant. I also acknowledge your distaste for the word “Christian”, and again it was not intended to offend.

No dear. The purpose is to run a draw play, throw a pass, overcome your defense and score.

Sometimes when you offer your hand, it gets slapped away. Offer your hand anyway.
