  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

We decided that we're going to skip the unity candle, because we'll be outside, and I don't want to look stupid trying to light candles if it's windy or something :doh:We'll still GET the candles, and we'll light them together at some point, just the two of us. So we're going to do a "God's Knot" which is a three-stranded rope (gold-God, purple-husband, white-wife) that the groom holds at one end while the bride braids it together, and the minister will read about the meaning of it (Ecclesiastes 4:12). Here's a link to a description: God's Knot - Cord of Three Strands I was surprised to learn that Superman (AKA Don) doesn't know how to braid... but I do! I actually know something he doesn't! lol

Ahh, OK... :D I thought I'd have been so ignorant and stupid LOL. :p Ha.

I did realize you were planning a wedding a while ago though... So how's all the planning going? Do you still have a lot to do?
((Oh, I really just have to leave, I have a lecture in 25 minutes. But I'll be back!))

The planning is moving along, thanks :) I went into this pretty blind and ignorant about weddings as a whole, so it's been a bit stressful, but also been amazing fun :)

LOL yeah tell me about it! :D We both had last attended a wedding when we were like about ten years old so we were quite clueless too. But then it also made things more fun since we didn't have to care about conventions more then what we wanted! Ha. And then obviously my bridesmaids and parents had less stress on them since we didn't expect too much from then. :) I heard some talk about your dress BTW... What's it like? And where did you get it?

I'm glad I'm not the only one! Do you mind me asking what sort of ceremony you wound up having? Did you stick with a lot of tradition, or a little? Don and I are having a simple ceremony and reception; no flowers, no caterer, no DJ, no band, no ushers, no bridesmaids or groomsmen, no garter, no this or that or the other :) Simplifying things makes for a much happier and less stressful affair, I must say.

Puffca and I got married. (And thanks!) I posted about the wedding earlier in this thread, but it was nice. It was a small and simple ceremony, but it was just about perfect. If you have FB, I'll add you and you can see some pics. Or I could email them later, but FB adding is easier. :sorry:

She kinda stumped us all with this, lol.

:D I might have posted about it on CF, if I hadn't left Singles prior to my engagement. Though I have felt like I've said too much about personal things before and regretted it, so I'm trying to be better about that now and in the future.

Are you having a maid of honor and best man, though? Or how are you doing the two required witnesses?
