So let's see where we're at for the three month mark according to the mag I have:
- Choose and order wedding rings... check
- Choose music for the ceremony... no need, we're gay so the music chooses us... *strikes a pose*
- Start dancing lessons..... Seriously? Dancing lessons? How hard is it to click my fingers above my head while I lip-sync?
- Confirm your catering... check. Nibbly nits all round.
- Confirm your floral arrangements... sheesh, with the amount of gay people there the flowers will probably be arranged before each course.
- Make any necessary personal appointments. Hmmmm, now what could this mean? See a psychic to check if I'm making the right decision? Ah, it's implying cosmetic surgery. Plan to have every hair lasered and every wrinkle botoxed to hell and back so that you look like Robert Pattinson on the day. Clever...
- Choose a dry cleaner to take your gown to after the day. Seriously? I need to wear a gown?
- Select speechmakers for your reception. Check. I will speak and thereafter everyone else will speak about how faaaaaaaaaaabulous I am...
- Arrange any insurance policies you may need. They clearly know the kind of people that will be at the wedding.
- Trial make-up and hair with your veil. Okay, people we really need a gay wedding magazine. They clearly don't realise we've been testing hair and make-up since we could lift our arms.
Seriously people... how hard is this going to be? We put on suits. Everyone rocks up. They give us gifts. We give them food and then we work at spending the rest of our lives together.
Surely it's that simple...
Definitely need a gay wedding checklist....

i thought i was your best friend, but i'm not invited. gmf! ;-) between hayley and francois and i, we could tweet like crazy, and make it a trending topic!
Confirm your floral arrangements... sheesh, with the amount of gay people there the flowers will probably be arranged before each course. you are a funny guy!
and yes, it seems there is a need for gay wedding mags. maybe you could start one? 'Groom magazine'. mmmm?
You so funny
*strike a pose*
Just what i needed to control leaky seams today.
Does you have something blue?
Jacki - you should still make it a trending topic. in fact, why isn't it? that would have clinched the invite.... dammit!
Groom magazine... hmmm, maybe more GroomonGroom magazine? sies.
Shayne - Aw, glad I could give you a lift... ahem...
Wenchy... hmmm... the wedding is themed blue... well the invites are and there will be blue things... but on me, not yet...
GroomOnGroom... sies? It's not that bad sounding... not the best for a title of a man mind you, but not bad sounding anyway.
Ok, let me raise my head from the gutter just long enough to say I'm popping in to show my face around here once in a while, before y'all forget who I is.
@Jackie, we thought we'd arrange for a tweeter to host a twedding on the side for all the tweeters we 'hang' with???
ok - bye! I'm going back to my little hole...
oops - critical typo
that's: "title of a mag people"
;)
FJ - thanks for popping in. Quite like you...
Weddings are overrated.
On my wedding day I woke up at 0830, took a shower, dried my *over permed* hair, pranced around in my veil and boardshorts while my mom tried to do my make-up.
Was at the kerk by 10am, and frankly the rest is a blur! (I was overwhelmed NOT drunk!)
geez, that comment sounded so bloody cynical!!! Didnt mean to be such a old-married fart...your wedding is so gonna rock. :-)
Mel - but you were married when you were at school or something weren't you?
Hehehehehehe
I think I'll be far too nervous to not be over-organised...
would love to see the perm... post a pic. c'mon!
Best of luck with the wedding, it is an extremely exciting time.

Thanks so much Bubby!
So good to read you again.
I also got married around the time Mel didnt and yes I also had permed hair. My kids have never gotten over it.
Joanne - ha! another pic that has to be posted... I think we should start a tag!!!
well done. i prefer happy rambler to contemplative rambler..
p.s please tell me your colour scheme at your nuptials will be slightly less disco then your blog?
can you please post pics of the plans as well as the big day!
Hey Rambler, I am now ur latest follower.
If I am learning anything from my journey that I find myself, it is that marriage is a commitment to stand and fight together whatever it is the world throws you.
I really do wish you the best during this very exciting time.

Loved your checklist. Made me laugh out loud.

cm who looks like Rob Pat - I also like happy rambler, but he's harder work than contemplative rambler at times...
Bubby - thanks so much... yeah, I look forward to the journey but very aware it's not all going to be roses. But I want to fight for this big time...
Lion Queen - glad you enjoyed... hehehe
I just booked our air tickets!
I am SO EXCITED!
It causes me (as you know) to write in caps. I may even have to use two exclamation marks too!!
Can I wear more than just a black tie, though? I'm a bit shy.

OH flip - I just got to the part where the music chooses you and lip sync-ing.. and that finished me off!! What a fun read!
All the best with all the plans!! Ciao! Lisa. x
