Better today, everything just painfully awake last evening.
Dreams of a DHL panel truck on fire crashing into a dumpster and apartment building I could see from my window. I called 911, and had to explain in way too much detail to get the operator to believe me. Then, somehow both in the apartment and in the alley below, I noticed a gurney, all made up with white sheets, in the way of the running firemen. I tried to move it, but had to just scoot out of the way around the corner, with the phone still to my ear, cord stretched tight. By now surrounded by restaurant kitchen staff in aprons and holding utensils and towels, anxiously watching the fire from outside.

And I think we may have overdone our wedding when I see how Joi and Mizuka did.
D and I stood in his parents' living room, mom, dad and three of his brothers on the sofa, LDS bishop had us say our 'I do's', signed the papers. His mom had an angel food cake and balloons. Took about an hour. I had just finished finals and was getting over the flu, my memories are a bit hazy.
Seven years later, we had a reception for disappointed friends. Lebanese restaurant, bellydancer, good food, 23 people, what else would anyone want.

Somehow, this blip stands out as particularly significant.
Love the second wedding reception. Maybe a hookah and some firebreathing? (smile)
My dreams I can not recall in any significant level of detail, though I often remember having had a dream.
tpt,
That's why I remember it was a DHL truck, all yellow with the logo, because I had to explain it to the dispatcher.
And, in fact, we talked about a fire breather. And that restaurant will set up a hookah outside.
Maybe for our 20th, we'll throw a party with a band and fire.
PP,
That's my usual, but once in a while one sticks until morning.
When I read your dream, I remembered reading this story:

Two wonderful friends of ours got married when he was 80 and she was 60. He gave her a load of well-rotted manure and she gave him some paving slabs. The whole thing was over in less than two hours, including champagne and sandwiches in the garden for four guests. They were both avid gardeners, by the way!

I'm all for elopement. In fact, if my partner is dead set on a big wedding, I'll probably just elope by myself.
Hm, angel food cake. I have been thinking about this very thing recently. A perfect wedding food, I think.
am,
wow. Is the idea of suicide as such a shameful, mortal sin still so strong? Jumping from a building on fire wouldn't even really qualify, I would think. Thank you so much for that link.
Pacian,
Very wise. The woman smart enough to wed you will no doubt agree.
RtheS,
I think dark chocolate chocolate with chocolate and chocolate would be ideal.
