So we found ourselves at a relative's hastily planned and executed wedding yesterday. The reasons behind the haste are a twisted tale of true love, student visa requirements & some of our nation's more draconian immigration laws, and is something not really for general discussion at this point, but maybe I'll get into that later.
So, despite the incredible rush and pressure, the wedding was great. Low key, small crowd, good food, heartfelt toasts, a healthy dose of champaign, and an overall good feeling. Great time, glad it worked out.
So now, everyone is looking at us. Comments in the lead up about having a double wedding, questions about when we were going to do it, suggestions that we have a 36 hour wedding plan, etc.
The family has wet it's beak, and they thirst for more.
Damnit.
Don't get me wrong, we intend to get married; We reassured that fact to each other while the entire expedited planning process was going on, but neither of us want the pressure. We'll take this at our own pace, thank you.
Besides, we have a house, rings, a cat, shared passions and five plus years of living together. We're good, really. Someday I'm sure we'll get the paper and the legal and the whatever when we're both ready.

um yeah... no pressure from me, but if you ever feel the need for some added pressure let me know and I'll send your niece over...
Love you guys.
welcome to the blogsphere. Cami led me here.
You do realize that the co-ownership of a cat clinches it, right? Paper is not needed as long as a feline is involved!
