Getting Together and the Bachelor Party

Oh, the past few days have been so busy. Ever since we've gotten to Vermont there's been caterers to meet, the planner to work with, hotel staff to organize... Planning a wedding-especially one with this kind of security that half the guests can't notice-is really hard.


It's all going to be worth it in... Jeez, a little over six hours. I'm going to be married in six hours. Wow. That's so exciting. I can hardly sit still, but I'm at the point now where I've done all I can and now I have to sit still and pass  the next five hours before I go out there again. Jake went out with Charlie(one of his squadmates) again-he's so nervous I think he would've exploded trying to sit still. That and he's still trying to make sure and spend lots of time with his Army friends. I know some of them were weirded out, if not by me than by the fact that he'd been lying to him since the moment he met them. Can't really blame him for wanting to give them his time to be sure. Besides, after tonight, we'll have forever together. <3


And, after all, I've been heading out to meet people off and on. Yesterday I took Konaa and Hylo shopping for wedding clothes. It was glorious, their clothes look amazing, and we had a grand time. I went ahead and paid for their clothes because they're expensive, and generally the Stalked don't have spare cash, what with hospital visits and hotels and weapons and such. And, I mean, they've come all the way to Vermont to come to my wedding. I figure it's the least I can do.
In any case, shopping with you two was wonderful, and I'm sorry the bakery we found wasn't very good. Someday I'll bake for you myself to make up for it.


A few hours later I was off with Jake, Elaine, and Nick to meet Lucas and Joel for coffee. Jake and Nick had of course never met or really interacted with Lucas and Joel, but it went pretty well. Elaine spent most of the time glowing in the company of her new lover, and I think we're all glad to see her so happy. It was also good to see Lucas and Joel well and happy. I know they've been having a bit of trouble since they left us, but both of them were solidly there, healthy, whole(more or less) and looking pretty happy to be there.  I love seeing my friends doing well, especially these days.


A few hours of 'downtime' where I worked on last minute stuff with caterers, then it was time for the bachelor party! Jake went to a bar with some of his army friends,  whereas MY party, which consisted of Hylo, August and Spencer, and Lucas and Joel. We all-well, except for Spencer- dressed in drag and went to a gay bar. It was fabulous, and August looked amazing in his dress and got SO MANY PHONE NUMBERS. Everyone looked good in their drag, really. A fabulous time was had by all.


And now... Now I wait for my wedding. Thank goodness for the internet, right? I'll see many of you there!

  5. I'll get you for this, Cam! HOW DARE YOU BE GENEROUS! NO GOOD DEED WILL GO UNPUNISHED!

    And your party was the most obvious trap ever, and I've tangled with Ridley. Better luck next time.

  6. Keep it in mind, that is the LAST time I will ever be caught in a dress again, Lucas had far too much fun dolling me up...

  7. Konaa, I will continue to be generous till the day I die, if not past that. And it would've been an obvious trap, had anyone known where we were going or who we were. Or did you think the drag was just for fun? ;)

    Joel, that's a shame. Dresses are fun!

  8. Ignore what Joel just said. I fully intend to get him like that more often... He makes such a comfy girl to cuddle...

  9. I'm going to let you two figure that one out. But personally, Joel, I think you should listen to Lucas.

  10. Do enjoy your wedding! In these dark times, we must get all the comfort we can, yes?

    Forgive me, I can't really speak, having never seen the Creature. But I certainly sympathize with your plight. Best of luck.

  11. Sounds like you are all having fun. You know, events like these make all the hard work worth it, all the pain dims down when we see people can still be happy in these times. Happy for you two, I hope your wedding goes flawlessly without any interruptions.

  13. I truly wish that you people would stop and gaze upon yourselves for a moment. In a time of strife where you are making your way towards mortal combat with the beast, you are more concerned with distracting yourselves through shopping and ceremony.

    What good will any of this do for you in the coming months when the beast truly begins its campaign of terror upon your pitiful minds? I will watch the crash and laugh while you look back upon these days as some form of past happiness instead of as the pathetic display of worthless affection that it truly is.

    Such a distressing time it is when people such as yourselves are pillars of a community that claims to be focused upon survival. It is those like you that remind me why I consider this group of "survivors" weak and hopeless.

    Congratulations on finding love. I wish you only the best.

  14. Arsonist, I have to say, that was quite possibly the most insightful thing I've ever read. Truly, an eye-opening experience regarding the blogosphere. I thank you, good sir, for spouting your bullroar at such an opportune time! Surely we shall heed your warning and cease this at once!

    ... oh, we can also ignore you for being a party pooper. Yes, that works out quite nicely.


    Cam, I DID have fun and it was brilliant. God, can't remember last time I was at a party with friends.
    ...
    God, it feels good to say that.

  15. And Hylo? you were utterly gorgeous. I just have some... /really/ bad scars. You'd probably see 'em and puke. Or something. Yeah. Sexy.

  16. @ Spencer: Nonsense. I'm sure they wouldn't.

    Don't fret over it. ;)

  17. Good luck with the wedding, y'all.
    I'll be praying for you lot.
    Have fun.

  18. Arsonist? Go to fucking hell. No one wants to listen to your tripe. And what kind of name is The Arsonist, anyway?

    Spencer, glad you enjoyed my husband's party. I was glad to meet you today, and I want to thank you for all of your help.

    Lissie, thanks.

    Jake
