AH! I had this blog almost done, was seriously moving over to the 'post' button, and Firefox crashed. I've never had firefox crash, ever. matt also walked in the door 10 sec earlier. i'm not saying the two are related,,,,, but....

**EDIT: oh damn! i just found where the autosaved drafts are! after i finished this one. oh well, for next time.**

So, take 2.

I used to follow Amanda Palmer (half of the Dresden Dolls, singer/songwriter/artist) on Twitter and read her blog. She has a very informal, personal, insightful style. She kind of fell off of my radar about a year and a half ago or so. I knew she got engaged to Neil Gaiman (author, of some sci-fi and comic books) last NYE, and last night I looked at her wikipedia page to see if they ever got married. According to wikipedia, they did, in Nov, in New Orleans, in a non-legally-binding ceremony. I thought that was sorta weird, mentioned it to Matt, then moved on.

Then, i was checking Offbeat Bride , and they did a post about their wedding -- weird, right? It actually sounds like it was really really sweet, and perfect for the type of people they are.

Here is her side ... i love the statement of "i decided to marry him because i honestly don’t think i’ll ever find a better man for an amanda palmer. i really don't". that's all it boils down to, to the one simple idea that your partner is best for you. thats it. this is getting gushy , but the beautiful simplicity of that idea, and how much it resonates in how i feel about matt makes me teary.

Here is his side ... i like the contrast ; hers being all "i did this and that and this, and had others do this", and his being "i showed up and had a great time and was amazed and happy". haha.

And, here is the OB post.
