Reading the comments on the last post, and being amused by the people who think *I* am ambivalent about marriage (Um. Not ambivalent. Opinionated. See this blog.)
Anyway, I was reminded of a conversation I had with an old friend when we got engaged.
Me: David and I got engaged! Yayyyyy!!!
Her: Oh. That's nice. I don't believe in marriage.
Me: ..........
Me: Um. It's not fairies. You don't have to DO it, but it does exist.
Wow!! I love total misinformed interpretation (ergo you must be anti-marriage because of your last post)! It just makes me laugh. But I loooove your response to your friend!!! I've had similar things said to me and I never came up with anything quite that quick witted in response. Bravo! (ok – my ! privileges are being revoked…)

I think we must have a friend in common! Except my dear friend continues to remind me that "most marriages end in divorce."
She went through a divorce when she was 26. I try to tell myself to be compassionate when I really want to throw a fit.
Also, fairies. Great response.

I love you Meg!
And the only way someone could possibly believe you are not 100% in favour of weddings is if that was the only post of your's they'd read. : )

I didn't believe in marriage, either, until I found the person I would marry.

She knows that every time she says that a wedding planner loses her wings, right?

"It's not fairies." That's awesome.
@Cat, "every time she says that a wedding planner loses her wings". Also awesome.
You guys (gals) crack me up, thanks for the smile!

Right. So with you. My MOTHER, when called to tell her about the upcoming nuptuals, said "I'm not really in to marriage."
WTF? Great for you, mum, but how about "congrats" first, at least?
Jeezh. And then she went out and did some vintage digging for us. Weird.

Haaaah! Just found this and it so reminded me of my buddy’s response to our engagement (friends of hers- separately and together- for five years): “Oh. That’s just so traditional of you.”
I said, “well, we didn’t say that we were going to do it very traditionally. Do you remember who we are?”
