Georgina Jackson (Jackson) is getting married!

This is not new news, however I had my first proper chat with her about it all the other night so now feel more up to speed with it all. Not suprisingly, someone wants to marry the perfect physical specimen and madhatter that is GJJ (I wanted to use a suitable picture of her but I don't know how to save pics from facebook since it changed to weird arty black framed photos); a thousand male hearts broke and the doormant bride gene has come up to teh surface in we women on the outskirts.

Now I thought I did not have the bride gene, but after that lovely wedding in December, and now one of my best friends getting engaged, it turns out that I really do bloody love a wedding. I still don't really know if its all for me, I'm a bit too sceptical, but I imagine you can make it your own. Talking to Georgie about how she imagines her day panning out it hit me how, this is not neccesarily some day of diva demands and 'look at me look at me', shoving their love in everyones faces. I realised that I am actually thrilled about the idea of showing my friends on their wedding days how happy I am for them and how I wish them all the luck and love and good things; it is a day of love and everyone is there cheering for the same team and its one great reason to actually get people together in one place. How nice. I know it shouldn't need this one day to show your friends how you feel about them, but there is a real honour bestowed on you when you are asked to be in someones wedding, knowing what it means to them.

Oh fuck, what has happened to me? As long as I still get girls nights every once in a while and I can still see the girls without their hubbys (as I will be a sad old lonely cat lady for sure) then I can't be obtuse, I have to accept these happy changes. Sooo I also thought, if I were to get married what would I do (ha, as if...) I think I would go for the whole Vegas wedding thing, get married by 'Elvis' and have 'The Wonder of You' played as I find the words really meaningful. Could even use them as vows. I've always wanted to wear this dress and think it would work well at a 1950s theme wedding:


Although I would have to be a brunette bride. And I would probs need something with sleeves. Anyway, for the rings I think I would like myself and the mug stupid enough to marry me to have matching lucky horseshoe rings. I like how they are androgynous, even quite masculine, and Elvis used to wear one:


I wouldn't have anyone else there so there was no embarrassing public spectacle or speeches. Then I would like to honeymoon road trip around California and Mexico and then maybe finish up our American adventure in Hawaii.
