Wedding-weekend festivities

Our outfits arrived from Hong Kong with care,
So the Brooklyn brides will have something to wear.
With embroidered flowers
And golden luck knots,
Details this divine
Mean the love's felt a lot!

On October eleventh we'll hike and we'll play
boardgames a-plenty, like Pictionary.
We'll pick apples 'n' pumpkins
Before cocktails at night
Then play wii and billiards,
And talk under starlight.

Sunday morning you may fish in the stream
While we pamper ourselves like two young queens.
Then in the afternoon garden,
We'll share vows under the sun.
It will even be legal,
Thanks to dear Patterson.

As the poem suggests, we're going to be legally married! We'll fill out the paperwork in Massachusetts, which will be recognized here in New York.

Can't wait to share this beautiful ceremony and weekend with you all. We're pulling together some special apple recipes for Sunday's dinner, and breaking out the washoes. So get ready to leave the city behind (or forest, as the case may be) and immerse yourselves in the beauty of Stone Ridge NY. :)

Registry

As Brenda wrote, we're heading to Turks & Caicos for our honeymoon! And for the past 9 months, we have not been able to think of much we need for the house. So at the advise of siblings, friends, and total strangers, we registered for the honeymoon. For those of you wondering what our hearts desire (besides each other), may we recommend you visit Travelers Joy...

Spontaneous Honeymoon

Booking my honeymoon was the last thing I would be doing at 9 pm last night.

But that's just what C & I did.

We are going to experience our first all-inclusive resort getaway with Olivia, the lesbian travel company. Here are the deets.

Now, all inclusive cheap vacations has been a privilege of the straight world and their honeymoons pretty much every since this idea was concocted. All inclusive makes a lot of sense for the most part, but C & I weren't excited about going to a straight all-inclusive resort where we wouldn't feel comfortable holding hands or PDAing in public on our honeymoon. (I mean, come on, you have a license to PDA on your honeymoon!)

We are going to Turks & Caicos and will be surrounded by lesbians doing trapeze (C is in heaven), windsurfing (I am in heaven) and participating in all manner of other sports...the list of sporting activities on the Olivia site will not disappoint any card carrying lesbo. The Wau Wau sisters will be performing and there are is a bevvy of OUT lesbian comics like Julie Goldman from the Big Gay Sketch Show who will be making us LOL (hopefully!)

Up until yesterday, we still didn't really know or agree on where we wanted to go. I didnt even know where Turks & Caicos was located!!! See pic at right - it's near DR and Haiti. But C & I have always been curious about Olivia trips and this one just felt right.

So the big gay wedding will then roll into the big gay honeymoon.

Can't wait.
